When an old person hits, slaps or shakes something to make it work again and it has the desired effect. The item fixed should have no logical reason to work better or be fixed from this action, as such Boomer Magic is a form of Situational Irony that is entirely unappreciated by the old person performing it.
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and Old Man Jack was watching the Television with his favourite Grandson. Unfortunately, he had turned his hearing aid to it's maximum setting but was still unable to hear clearly. Also, the old man was not able to turn the volume up any higher on the TV despite pushing the button as hard as he could and shaking the remote indignantly at the screen.
"The remote needs new batteries Granddad", chimed the young boy.
"Nonsense!, I replaced these last week!", Jack thought to himself as he took the remote in his hand and slapped it three times in his palm. He was now able to effortlessly turn up the volume of his favorite show, Antiques Roadshow.
His young Grandson looked on in disbelief, "Buh...Buh... Boomer Magic...".
