tiny magic

I am sure I have asked you all about your tiny magics before, but I would be interested in hearing them again.

Mine is a tiny charity shop magic. A asked me, the other day, if given the magic I could keep my eye out for another pair of cheap work shoes and another pair of cheap driving shoes for him. So, of course, there were four plausible pairs of shoes, for a fiver each, in the first charity shop I visited.

Today's tiny charity shop magic was instead for myself: a black-blue-purple striped shirt, a peacock blue 80% cotton-20% acrylic (i.e. non-allergenic) V-neck pullover, and the second (& only the second) Mortal Engines book, having already acquired and read the first.

I don't know if I have any? I have some non-tiny magics, but my stuff is much more it-could-only-happen-to-me style superpowers, because there are often negative versions as well as positive. (Largely: accidental and surprising school milestones, both positive and negative, as well as making good friends with work bosses. It does not keep them from firing me, but does mean we often are friends even after that.)
