Both authors create a magical alternate universe in their novels to conform to traditional latin american writing. I believe "magical realism" is a writing style and a way to tell stories deriving from the latin american culture that has been analyzed and given a name and therefore is simply a different way to tell a story with an interesting twist. In an interview, Allende says there are elements of imagination,hyperbole,exaggeration,a recurrent use of premonition, and a coincidence of things that happen in her fiction novels that wouldn't seem to happen in real life,but if you pay attention, they may happen often enough. In that sense there are elements of magical realism in her novels. I believe Marquez adheres to this belief as well.
