Tournament favourite and five-times champion O'Sullivan was wasteful among the balls in the first four frames as former UK Champion Maguire dominated without having to be at his best.
The Scotsman opened with a break of 101 and produced 95 in the third frame as O'Sullivan faced losing in the first round for the first time since 2003.
The first man to 10 frames reaches the second round with five more frames to be played in the afternoon session.
