• Abraca-chicken
"The magician places a chicken bone into a magic box. He says abracadabra
but nothing happens. He considers for a moment (consults his magic puppet
or assistant if he has one) and realizes he should have said Alaka-chicken.
He places the bone into the box again. He reminds the audience to help
him remember the correct magic word. He waves his magic wand over
the box and says Abraca-chicken! Oh no! (either the assistant or the magic
puppet or the audience can point out that he's used the wrong magic word
again). What can it mean? What happened? The magician looks nervous
and tells the audience that Abraca-chicken is a very advanced magic word . . .
he wasn't ready for magic that advanced." -- KidZone.ws (2005)
