• Abracadabra Alakazam Hocus Pocus Addaboombam
These magic words are from a riddle: "Abracadabra, alakazam. Hocus,

the substance these words conjured." The secret to finding the answer lies
in the phrase "just take a second." Take the second letter of each magic
word to form the "substance" in question (Able2Know.com [2004]).
