Sympathetic Magic

The effort to control events, animals, or persons by extraordinary means that are imitative or analogical in form.

For example, a doll or effigy may be stabbed or burned as a means of casting a spell upon a living being, or red ochre powder may be used to restore the glow of life to a pallid body.

Sympathetic magic, also known as imitative magic, is a type of magic based on imitation or correspondence.

jap magic

The seemingly magical ability of plain and or homely female Japanese expatriates to capture the hearts of Caucasian or African-American males. There has been some speculation that Jap Magic is actually a viral pathogen created by Unit 731, the biological warfare program of the Imperial Japanese Army. In 1943, as it became clear Japan was losing the war, Emperor Hirohito, fearing the extinction of the Japanese race, ordered Unit 731 to develop a program to ensure the genetic survival of the Japanese. The results of this mandate is Jap Magic. It is suspected that Jap Magic has mutated into several strains, the broader - Yellow Fever strain and perhaps more surprisingly, the deadly strain that infects primarily African-American males - Fat White Chick Fever.

"Hah - that's a classic and sad case of Jap Magic"

heroes of might and magic 3

An absolutely AMAZING game for computers, with replay value that kicks that of the popular Xbox game Halo even though it was released three years earlier and is a sixth-person view game that runs in its own DOS shell, and it doesn't really measure up, graphics wise. You have the opportunity to customize virtually every aspect of the game, and this power is only enhanced with add-ins like WoG and Modhomm3. This is a phenomenal game that has kept me entertained since the day I bought it and you should also get it. Produced by 3DO.

I have beaten all of the scenarios and campaigns on "Impossible" difficulty, including all the 94 that I made. I needed a new challenge so I downloaded about 200 more. This is going to take a while.

Frankie Magic

When a competitive game ends in a tie caused by an unusual intervention by the developer of the game.

Our Slayer game on Halo ended in a 50-50 tie. Was it co-incidence or was it Frankie Magic?

Uncle Sugar's Magic Checkbook

Welfare from the U.S. government. Of course it is not actually free as it is a debt thrust upon society, but the typical uneducated person receiving it has no care where the money came from and only knows it is free money from Uncle Sugar.

Damn yo, I just got $1,700 in the mail from Uncle Sugar's Magic Checkbook!!
