The magician said that the magic word for green was 'Imadodo,' and when he poured the water into the empty glass, it would turn green.'" Imagine Mystique: "[T]here is always a door -- imagination. 'Imagine' has the word image in it, and also a piece of the word magic. To imagine is how we create the door that leads from the impossible to the possible. The magic of it is just that we don't really know how or why it works."7 Variations and Incantations: • Imagination In Literature: • "Whatever the situation, the key is applying the magic word -- time out for drumroll -- imagination." -- Gary McCord, Golf For Dummies (1999) Immo Haud Daemonorum, Umquam et Numquam, Urbi et Orbi, Quamquam Azazel Magnopere Thoth et Urim et Thummim In Nomine Tetragrammaton.
