It's obviously not magic. In practice, I find this feature difficult to use due to the distribution of ssh keys necessary to be practical.
Actually, scp got quite old. Rsync typically makes a better job, especially with many files or unreliable networks. Streaming tar.gz over ssh is again typically faster for many files.
