There is the "Dragon's Egg" (great example made by Yuri Shumakov on youtube), and there is also the Spiky Cuboctahedron, which is a "Spike ball"....maybe close to a "magic ball"?

The magic ball is a flat foldable corrugation with the sides folded/glued together into a tube shape. So theoretically every corrugation that is flat foldable can be turned into a magic ball. The variations should be endless. You just need to make the corrugation wide enough to be able to make a tube. One example that should work out pretty well is Jeremy Shafer's Slithering Snake Skin expanded to a 1x2 paper with lets say a division into 32 on the long side.
So you should rather ask for suitable corrugations instead of variations of the magic ball.
