1) There's "As you know, Bob" dialog in fantasy. There's some at the beginning of the first Harry Potter book, quite a bit in P. C. Hodgell's books, to begin with.
2) There's a lot of handwaving in science fiction.
And a lot of what I consider to be magic in science fiction. John W. Campbell used to call it psi. These days, it's often called nanotechnology.
