A roulette wheel has a 49% chance (or something i can’t remember but for the sake of this discussion we can just call it 50%) of landing on either black or red. i feel like every time it lands on red, the odds of it landing on red again next spin go down, but also logically i know the odds reset for each spin because the numbers still add up to 50%. Why is it not the former? What is this magic?

No each event is separate, previous results have no bearing on future results. For instance tossing a coin is always 50/50 head or tail if you have got three heads in a row the next toss is still 50/50 head or tail.
