When Captain Phil comes to talk to the Imaginauts crew about airlock use, they discover janitor/pilot (Jilot) Evie has taken a break from her duties to discuss the mysterious phenomenon of Magic from an entirely rational and scientific standpoint.

What spells, incantations, seeds and roots can help you win in court? Where does one get 'dragon ink'? What's a good price for a magic amulet? How far back does ball cupping go? Has anyone been in touch with Houdini since his death? What's the strangest thing about Dr. Strange? Who the hell is Stigiro? How much acid do you need to write a comic book?

All these questions answered and more on the Imaginauts!
