That reminds me of this Arthur C. Clarke quote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is undistinguishable from magic". I had to look up the originator, but now that I think about it it seems obvious that it is by Clarke. When I was demonstrating a superconductivity lab -- in which a small magnet is made to levitate over a superconductor -- for undergraduates I have been known to incant "Wingardium Leviosa!".
