It's in a Zdarsky mini, I'm pretty sure? Though I can't remember if that's the FIRST time he discovered it or if he already knew and that's just the first time he tried to reach out and understand it
I'd assume. If asked to pick, I'd say early 20's, goes to train with Zatara in escapism, sleight of hand, etc. Zatanna is still green at the Magic/magic deception and slips up one day. He mulls over it for a couple of days, sure there must be a mundane explanation, then asks Zatara.
Probably when he began training with Zatara is escapology.
“Hi I’m Zatara, I’m a stage magician and an escapologist. I’m also an actual magician, and my best friends are a guy possessed by a God of Order and another guy possessed by a rhyming demon. Any questions?”
“Yes, what the fuck?”
I like to think that Bruce got into vigilantism while the niche was still young and uncommon. So I bet it was an easy 4 years before he acknowledged real magic.
Though I’d love for him to have been a skeptic for over a year.
