He was sent out to sea on a boat with his daughter called Miranda, who has never seen a man except her dad and Caliban (who comes up at a later point). Prospero and Miranda soon find themselves on land that they have never seen before, where Caliban shows them around. 12 years later and Prospero is the ruler, with 2 slaves: Ariel, who is neither a Male nor Female.

With help from Ariel, Prospero summons The Tempest, a huge storm, to shipwreck them on the island. The stranded try to search for each other, hindered by Ariel along the way. Then Alonso and Ferdinand reunite, but Ferdinand finds Miranda and decides to marry her (without knowing that his father Alonso was the person who banished Prospero). Eventually the situation ends, and Prospero using his magic makes them all forgive each other, and then sets Ariel free. He gives up his magic and returns back home, with everyone except Caliban.

In the shipwreck, the various passengers come ashore separately. Ferdinand falls in love with Miranda. Antonio, Alonso and the good old man Gonzalo are led in circles by hallucinations created by Ariel. A couple of drunks called Trinculo and Stephano team up with Caliban.

Does Shakespeare show that magic is good and or evil with MacBeth and A Midsummer's Night Dream?
You should probably also be thinking about The Tempest if you are talking about Shakespeare and magic. And you should also know that Shakespeare was not in the business of moral instruction. He was in the business of entertainment. Some stories need the idea of magic to make them work: Cinderella, for example. Cinderella is not moral instruction about whether or not fairy godmothers are a good or bad thing. The same can be said for Macbeth, Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest. In Macbeth, Macbeth is conflicted about the nature of the prophecies the witches are making. Sometimes he thinks that he needs to act to make them come true, sometimes he thinks they will come true no matter what he does, and sometimes he thinks he can prevent them from happening. It is his choices which are good or bad, not the prophecies themselves. And, as with all things in the play, what seems fair may be foul and vice versa. In Dream, the end result of all the fairies' magic seems like a good thing: Demetrius is no longer pursuing Hermia who can now freely marry Lysander, and Demetrius and Helena will now, we hope, be happy. Bottom seems none the worse for being changed into a donkey. In Tempest, Prospero's magic and Ariel's is used to right certain wrongs and also to thwart an assassination attempt. Yet there is a darker side to it as well, as Prospero uses his magic to enslave Ariel and Caliban. It is perhaps this darker side which induces him to give up magic altogether at the end of the play. So it would seem that in Shakespeare's plays, just like in Cinderella, magic is neither good nor bad. It's the use you put it to that makes the difference.
