L their hearts and homes, and after that the house contains nothing too good to bestow upon the welcome guest." -- Joseph A. Munk. Arizona Sketches (1891) Long Ago and Far Away (see once upon a time) In Literature: • Tami Hoag, Guilty as Sin (1996) Look, Look Facts: Look, look is a favorite magic phrase of professional magician David Blaine. In Literature: • "The sole patter line from [David Blaine's] first special might be summed up thusly: 'Look. Look. Look . . . watch . . . watch . . . here . . . look.' In stead of telling us what to see, what to think, he uses words the way Andy Summers of the Police used guitar lines -- sparingly, letting us fill in the pauses, the silences, with our own minds. He stares people hard in the face after the magic has happened, unanswering in their queries. And then he walks away." -- Brian Wendell Morton, "Blaine: The Stage is You," Genii (1999) Love Love, that magic word. -- Alina Reyes, The Butcher (1988) Mystique: Magic words emanate from the heart. . . . This is the real secret of words of power. -- Phillip Cooper, Esoteric Magic and the Cabala (2002) "'How do we become one with the universal?' [a woman asked Sai Baba]. As he did whenever anyone asked about methods of realization, Baba merely smiled meaningfully and said the magic word: 'Love.' That mysterious word, the sound no one dared to say they did not understand."7 7 Lee Siegel, Net of Magic: Wonders and Deceptions in India (1991)
