Early years

Magyar had a brief partnership with France's Camille Foucher. The pair skated for Hungary at two international events in February 2013; they placed 6th at the Bavarian Open and 7th at the International Challenge Cup.
Partnership with Pearce
Around 2015, Magyar decided to compete for Hungary with Anna Marie Pearce from the United States. The pair's international debut came in October 2015; they placed 7th at the CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy and then 6th at the International Cup of Nice. In January 2016, they placed 14th at the European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Partnership with Chtchetinina
Magyar formed a new partnership with Ioulia Chtchetinina, a Russian who had previously competed for Switzerland. Chtchetinina/Magyar debuted on the Challenger series with an eighth-place finish at the 2019 CS Finlandia Trophy before coming fifth at the 2019 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb and winning the Hungarian national title. They were tenth in their European Championship debut, and were scheduled to make their World Championship debut in Montreal before the championships were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8]
In the pandemic-affected 2020–21 season, Chtchetinina/Magyar made their Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Rostelecom Cup, finishing in seventh. Hungarian champions again, they went on to win a bronze medal at the International Challenge Cup before finishing fourteenth at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm.

Assigned to two Grand Prix events, they finished sixth at both the 2021 Internationaux de France and the 2021 Rostelecom Cup.
