I apologize for the confusion. When I used the word "magic," I was simply trying to convey that quantum entanglement can seem like a mysterious or surprising phenomenon to those who aren't familiar with it.

To answer your question, if particle B is measured before A, it will still be found in a certain state. However, when A is measured, the state of B will become correlated or "entangled" with A's state, in a way that is different from classical physics. This means that if you then go back and measure B again, you will find that its state has changed in a way that is correlated with the state of A.

Ultimately, quantum entanglement is a complex topic that can be difficult to explain in a brief way. I hope this helps clarify things a bit more!
