A magical device to move things without effort

Several thousand years ago if you had heard of something which could be used to move large objects without effort, you would have considered that it must be a thing of witchcraft. In fact, the Mayans didn’t use the wheel for carts and whatnot until after the Spanish arrived (not that they didn’t know of it, just that it wasn’t practical for them given the terrain).

Yet, the wheel is now so ingrained in our daily lives that few people would even consider it as technology.
