Witchcraft has been associated with various items throughout history. These items hold significant meaning and power for those who practice witchcraft. Many of these items are used in rituals and spells to harness their mystical properties. Some common examples of these items include herbs, crystals, tarot cards, and candles. **Herbs** are widely used in witchcraft for their magical properties. Each herb is believed to possess unique qualities that can be used to enhance spells or rituals.
As the culmination of three Midwestern dates that weekend (Cleveland and Chicago were the Thursday/Friday shows) the run was hot on the heels of the Stripes breakout performances at South-By Southwest earlier that month. The momentum was building. The shows were only increasing in intensity.
And the White Stripes at the Magic Stick coupled with the Gold Dollar as close as they would ever have to a home field on March 31st, 2001 is absolutely sublime. The White Stripes were always game to adjust and call audibles and pull things on the fly but once a move was so clearly perfected , well, there s a hard time breaking out of that comfort.

The White Stripes Live at The Magic Stick, 2001
Hometown shows are, oftentimes, a mess. The guest list is a clusterfuck, some weirdo from high school you haven’t seen in a decade monopolizes your time, dinner springs upon you like an unwieldy beast that you’ve never had to tackle previously (despite making it work every day in your “regular” life in town). The benefit though is that the performances are so much more likely to be sublime. And the White Stripes at the Magic Stick (coupled with the Gold Dollar as close as they would ever have to a “home field”) on March 31st, 2001 is absolutely sublime.

While at this point twenty years later, the setlist is fairly in line with other Stripes’ gigs from that moment, the awkwardness of “Boll Weevil” dropping in the middle of the set will never cease to feel like a glitch in the fabric of time. So clearly is that song supposed to be a set closer. In that same mindset, “Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground” NOT kicking off a show, but tucked in the later third of the set, just smacks of a work-in-progress. The White Stripes were always game to adjust and call audibles and pull things on the fly…but once a move was so clearly perfected, well, there’s a hard time breaking out of that comfort.
A particular treat in this performance is the first and only appearance of the red-and-white Danelectro double-neck guitar. The stock clear pickguards were hand-painted red by Jack himself. With the auxiliary neck strung up in the baritone register, the axe is deployed for the “Astro/Jack the Ripper” medley followed by “The Big Three Killed My Baby”…and then never again. To hear Jack’s thoughts on it at the time, he didn’t feel like he should be doing anything that would explicitly court MORE comparisons to Led Zeppelin.
(For those keeping tabs, that guitar would show up on stage six years later ably utilized by the local Detroit garage band Tin Knocker)
I seem to recall selling copies of the Stripes Sub Pop single at the merch table on this night. Or if we didn’t…we certainly discussed the possibility of doing so. Maybe we only sold a few? For everything I remember in the past 20 years, there’s a thousand I’ve forgotten so the fact there’s a solid VHS video of the gig on YouTube is a nice accompaniment here. Enjoy.

Crystals are believed to possess certain energies and vibrations that can be harnessed for different purposes. For instance, amethyst is often used for its calming and soothing properties, while quartz is believed to amplify energy. **Tarot cards** are frequently used by witches for divination and gaining insight into the future. Each card in the tarot deck holds symbolic meaning and can provide guidance on various aspects of life, such as love, career, and spirituality. **Candles** are often used in rituals and spells to represent different intentions and create a sacred space. The color of the candle holds significance, with each color representing a different energy or intention. For example, a red candle may be used for love spells, while a green candle may be used for money or abundance spells. These items are just a few examples of the many objects associated with witchcraft. They are used by practitioners to manifest their desires, connect with the spiritual realm, and bring about positive change. Each item holds its own special power and can be utilized in various ways to enhance the practice of witchcraft..
Reviews for "The Science of Bean Magick: Harnessing the Power of Quantum Entanglement"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Witchcraft bean various items. The box claims to contain a variety of magical items, but all I got were cheap plastic trinkets. The quality was terrible, and none of the items were even remotely interesting or useful. I was hoping for some real magic, but I felt like I wasted my money on this product.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I cannot express how much I regret buying the Witchcraft bean various items. It was a complete waste of money. The so-called magical items were nothing more than dollar store junk. The description on the box was misleading, and the actual items were far from what I expected. Save your money and don't fall for this scam!

I purchased the Witchcraft bean various items with high hopes, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The items in the box were poorly made and lacked any sense of magic or enchantment. The packaging looked promising, but the reality was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this product unless you enjoy disappointment.

I bought the Witchcraft bean various items thinking it would be a fun and whimsical product, but I was sorely mistaken. The items included were cheap and tacky, and nothing about them felt magical. The product was a complete letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and enchanting experience. Save your money and look elsewhere for magical items.
