Well, I don't know anything about magick.php, but this should work with 
Apache.  These URLS give identical results:

http://www.nyphp.org/ - Apache uses default document
http://www.nyphp.org/index.php - exact URL
http://www.nyphp.org/index.php/foo/bar/baz/ - searches backwards until 
it finds index.php

So, the URL

http://www.example.com/magick.php/image.jpg/foobar/

should search backwards until it finds magick.php and hits it, and 
magick.php would then have the path_info to do something with, such as 
get, mangle, and output your image file.

This Apache directive defaults to on (AFAIK) but perhaps you've turned 
it off:
