M = magic (300)
Execution of script magic as a function is not supported:
/Users/helloooo/Documents/MATLAB/magic.m

Rename the magic.m file that you've created in the /Users/helloooo/Documents/MATLAB folder. It's preventing MATLAB from accessing the magic function included in MATLAB.

If your magic.m file does not have "function" at the top, then it is a script and not a function. Scripts cannot be passed arguments in parenthesis. They would normally share the same workspace as the caller.
