Do you really mean Gnome 3, or the Unity desktop? In Gnome Shell, the magnifier is available under the Accessibility icon in the top bar. In Unity, you'll need to go into CompizConfig (compizconfig-settings-manager if you don't have it installed) and enable the "Enhanced Zoom Desktop" plugin, which can be set to zoom in when you, say, hold Super and scroll up or down.

By default (In GNOME2 at least) all you have to do is hold down the super key (the one with the windows icon) and scroll up/down to zoom in/out

I wrote a little script that allows you to do a compiz like zoom using the left-alt key and the scrollwheel for gnome 3. I could package it in a ppa if desired...
