Hocus-PocusDid you know... The expression hocus-pocus is a corruption of the Latin prayer ‘Hoc ist corpus,' (lit. This is my body); the words used at the consecration during the Roman Catholic mass. ´Hocus-Pocus´ originated as a derogatory term, poking fun at this ´magical´ transformation. Many Catholic magicians avoid the use of the word because of its original meaning.
