A magic tracker is a tool or device used to detect and track the presence of magic or magical energy. It is commonly used in fantasy and magical settings where magic is a fundamental part of the world. The use of a magic tracker can vary depending on the specific setting and story. In some cases, it may be a physical object that emits a signal or reacts in some way in the presence of magic. This can help characters identify areas where magic is strong or locate magical objects or creatures. In other cases, a magic tracker may be a more mystical or intuitive ability possessed by certain individuals.

Puff the Magic Dragon
This handsome volume offers a charming interpretation of the 1960s folk song, written by Yarrow and Lipton and famously recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. Featuring a soothing palette highlighted by greens and blues, Puybaret's graceful acrylic on linen paintings are intermittently misty and sunny. Echoing the gentle cadence of the song, the sweeping landscapes and seascapes reveal Honalee to be a magical place indeed, with faces appearing on trees, flowers and rocks. Other whimsical flourishes include the book's affable ancillary characters, including diminutive winged fairies and red-and-white striped dolphin-like critters that wear graduation caps. There is, of course, the inevitable somber moment when “One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more,/ And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar”; the dragon gazes wistfully upon the departing boy and then slips sadly into his cave. But at the creative hand of Puybaret, a French illustrator who here makes his American publishing debut, the song's potentially sad denouement takes an uplifting turn. As the chorus is repeated one final time, the delighted Puff spies a girl approaching—ostensibly Jackie's daughter—a new friend to frolic with in the autumn mist. Youngsters concerned about the fate of Puff's first playmate will be comforted to see a smiling, grown-up Jackie looking on. Adding to the appeal of the book is a CD presenting a new recording of the song (and two others), sung by Yarrow and his daughter Bethany, accompanied by cellist Rufus Cappadocia. An impressive performance all around. Ages 3-7. (Aug.)

Reviews for "Mastering the Art of Misdirection with a Magic Tracker"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Magic Tracker. The concept sounded interesting, but the execution fell flat for me. The app was glitchy and often crashed, making it difficult to use. Additionally, the layout was confusing and not user-friendly. I had a hard time navigating through the different features and finding what I needed. Overall, I found Magic Tracker to be a frustrating and unreliable tool for keeping track of my magic collection.
- John - 1 star - Magic Tracker was a complete waste of money for me. The app promised to help organize my magic cards, but it failed to deliver on its claims. The search function was unreliable and often returned incorrect results or didn't find the cards I was looking for at all. The inventory management feature was also clunky and difficult to use. I ended up spending more time trying to fix errors and bugs in the app than actually adding my cards to the tracker. Save your money and find a better solution for managing your magic collection.
- Emily - 2 stars - I downloaded Magic Tracker with high hopes, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The app was slow to load, and scrolling through my collection was a tedious process. The user interface was cluttered and overwhelming, with too many unnecessary features. The app also lacked the option to customize fields or add personal notes for specific cards, which was a major drawback for me. Overall, Magic Tracker was not intuitive or user-friendly, and I would not recommend it to serious magic collectors.
- Michael - 3 stars - For a free app, Magic Tracker is not terrible, but it definitely has its flaws. The app lacks a comprehensive database, and I found it difficult to find accurate information for some of my cards. The app also doesn't allow for easy syncing between multiple devices, which is a significant drawback for users who primarily use their collections on both their phone and computer. Additionally, I experienced a few crashes and glitches while using the app. While it might be a useful tool for casual magic players, serious collectors might want to look for a more robust and reliable tracking solution.
