"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C Clarke, Author.
If your knowledge of antennas is limited 1/4 wave dipoles and their derivatives, then any compact antenna will seem to be "magic". Otherwise, how do you explain the antenna in an LTE handset/USB modem (700-800 MHz) or the similar cellular band antennas that operate between 800 and 900 MHz? (Bonus points awarded for the correct answer.)
The OP's antenna IS suitably sized for UHF reception and, despite its compact size, IS working for his single high-VHF channel and it isn't magic.
