The queen did not use magic to squeeze it or interact with it, any human could of done the same thing, that is why she didn't want anyone in there. Magic initially created it and magic held it here. Turning it to dust was because the heart now no longer exists outside his body and is worthless. If the queen still had magic she would of done a LOT more with it during her time here.
I know what you're saying, and you're right. Squeezing the heart isn't magic. But my real issue is with your first statement here:

I believe what we saw in the last episode was magic in the "real world". Sure it was grandfathered in from pre-curse, but still, it worked.
The way the show is playing out, we don't know all the rules of the curse, what all the queen gave up, etc.
Anyway, at least the last episode gave us something to talk about and speculate about here. It was getting kind of dull.
I'm really wanting to see how the queen adopted Henry. I had the impression the people under the curse couldn't leave the town. Heck, maybe even Emma can't leave now. Wasn't she stopped by a wolf the last time she tried to leave?
