The idea is that celebrities will learn and perform magic for the judges, but the do nothing related to magic except presenting it.
Imagine a magician doing a card trick. In this show, the celebrity will be the card, not the magician. They are merely an object being used to present the stage "magic" Chriss Angel always does. For exemple: first episode there a levitation magic. You know it's a damn rope, there's no other explanation. But everyone there still acts like it's magic, like nobody can see the rope remove in editing or hidden with camera filters.
In this show, the actors invited to "perform magic" are just acting and presenting a stage magic. There's no talent in it, no struggle with learning sleight of hand, no actual magician training being taught.
