alakazam
Conjurer's dramatic exclamation
Alakazam is a magic word spoken when performing a trick or conjuring something, like abracadabra or presto: Alakazam! The rabbit appeared from the hat.
It evokes stage magic and theatrical flourish, often used playfully to suggest something has appeared or transformed as if by magic: She waved her hand and—alakazam—dinner was ready.
