The best magic trick for any writer is to create lingo. Making up your own words for the reader tricks the brain to be more connected with the writer and disconnected from those who don't know the word.
Harry Potter and their magical spells is a great example. Bonus points if there's even a word to discriminate against those who don't know the lingo!
