The Magic of the Wizard's Dream

If you hang out with Lindsay long enough, you’ll soon discover one indisputable fact: wizards are funny.

Not Harry Potter wizards, but wizardly wizards. The kind with flowing, long, white beards and pointed hats. Flamboyant medieval wizards with wands and cheesy robes that cast spells and brew potions.

Lindsay requested that we have a wizard party. We didn’t actually invite anyone except Amy, so the party was more of a gathering, but fun nonetheless. Since no one had wizard costumes, we stopped at the 99 Cent store to see what we might find. There we found sparkly hats, colorful wands, and glowing glasses.



What does one do at a wizard party? Drink potions, mainly. Play board game or two. Or thousands, even. We can do that, you know: we’re wizards.




We also got on YouTube and searched for wizard videos. For the most part, they suck. We found one, however, that was as magical as wizards themselves, and it is called “The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream” by Rhapsody. It is so fantastic that I made it my ring tone.



If that isn’t one of the most ridiculous, over-the-tio musical displays you have ever taken a gander at, I’ll eat my wizard hat. There’s an orchestra, booming operatic voices, and the irresistible chorus: “Angels are calling from divine lost crystal realms, riding from heaven for the magic of the wizard’s dream.”

Let the Magic of the Wizard’s Dream entrance you. Should you get tired of hearing it in English, you can also find versions in Italian, German, and French. Evidently, it's significant enough of a song to be translated into multiple languages. Also, pass this tune on to everyone you know, or face the possibility of being transformed into a frog.
