This essentially turns you into a theist, because such laws existing without there being a universe would amount to supernaturalness. So your deities would be the magical laws.
I don't think many astrophysicists would agree with this belief, especially considering it is believed that the laws of our universe break down at a singularity. It makes much more sense to me that the laws governing our universe were created along with the universe at the instant of the Big Bang. So other universes could operate under completely different physical laws (such as mrmitchell's black hole universes). They could be such that no life is possible. Or they could be even more conducive to life than our own. They could have properties that make "magic" possible. Who knows? With perhaps an infinite number of such universes, the possibilities are also infinite.
