Also, I'm going to amend my previous steps to an easier method.

Step 1. Open your image. Convert to a smart object.

Step 2. Duplicate the original image.

Step 3. On the duplicate, hit Command/Control + T to enter free transform mode. Hold the shift and option/alt key to constrain proportions and center. Expand to the desired magnification.

Step 4. Highlight the duplicate layer. Use your Elliptical Marquee Tool to make a selection. With the mouse click held, press the shift key for a round ellipse, and/or press the spacebar to move the ellipse. When you have your selection, hit Command/Control + J to copy the selection to it's own layer. Name this layer 'magnified'.

Step 5. Turn off the duplicate layer.

Step 6. Highlight the magnified layer, select your Move Tool and position were you like it. Double click the layer to open a layer style, add a stroke. Then add an inner glow.
