Comment: "Thanks for the quick response. A Google search that
weggezaubert ist most appropriate for removing an unpleasant
condition (pain, bad skin), while "wie von Zauberhand" works best for the
appearance of pleasant things, in Nature, on the computer
screen, etc., while Wunder as one commenter remarked,
sounds somewhat religious."
