I think the biggest clue in the song is when it rained, the umbrella had holes in, meaning it couldn't even do its job as an umbrella.

The magic part almost makes me feel the "magic umbrella" thing was a snake oil scam, of which the salesman either created himself trying to sell the umbrellas, or was a victim of believing himself.
