Revision 5211044 of "Automagic" on enwiki

'''Automagic''' is a [[portmanteau]] word that means that something is [[automatic]]ally done in such a clever way that the result looks like [[magic (paranormal)|magic]]. Also used in adverbial form as ''automagically''.

It is drawn from the [[adage]] (often called [[Clarke's Three Laws|Clarke's third law]]) that any sufficiently-advanced [[technology]] is indistinguishable from magic.
