    Primary sources? No, but there are independent secondary sources by people with no skin in the game.

    Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus (circa 93–94 CE).

    Annals by Tacitus (circa 116 CE)

    The earliest Christian writings are also more about the teachings of a disruptive Jewish preacher who was then crucified, than they are about magic.
