It's not magic. Most reputable locksmiths possess roughly these skills to nondestructively open locks for customers. Heck, with the $15k programmer setup, I can make you an infinite number of Mercedes key fob copies too.
Lately in my area Lock Smiths have been replaced by random dudes with a van and a drill. They won't even try to pick or do anything for even trivially pickable locks, just drill out the old one and sell you a new one at a high price.
Having left my picks at home once, and locked myself out, it was not entertaining to watch - but still necessary.
