But how do they make the teflon stick to whatever it's applied to?
Is it SCIENCE or black magic?

Black magic.
The metal of the pan is scoured with sulphuric acid to make it rough. The teflon gets some purchase on that - but if you use metal rather than wooden spoons &c on a teflon pan, you'll scrape off the coating which, being non-stick, isn't all that well stuck.

That sounds like SCIENCE rather than black magic though.
Unless alchemy is considered black magic.
