I have had a few encounters with bothersome magpies and found the best solution is to go to youtube and pull up some bald eagle sounds. Depending upon range to bird, some amplification may be required. This also avoids any bad blood as the eagles get blamed.
I have also had some encounters with friendly magpies, ones that make the burbly chatter. In this case also go to youtube, but select other magpie sounds, and have a conversation.
