If you frequent an area where you get swooped take a handful of small dog or cat biscuits and scatter them as you go past. If the magpies recognise you as a food source you will not be treated as a threat.
They are extremely smart and do recognise individuals in their area so a peace offering of food works well.

A magpie attacked my husband today as he walked from the house to the garage. It then sat on the fence and watched him through the window. Two hours later that maggie was still there and attacked him as he walked back to the house. We could almost hear the maggie's thoughts... "come out if you dare!" *LOL*
