1. Abracadabra

   Abracadabra is an incantation used as a magic word in stage magic tricks, and historically was believed to have healing powers when inscribed on an amulet. The word is thought to have its origin in the Aramaic language, but numerous, conflicting folk etymologies are associated with it. Many consider that the word “Abracadabra” is actually a Hebrew phrase meaning “I create what I speak.”
