    as if by magic
    as if by some magic formula (as though) at the wave of a (magic) wand.
    Огромные мольберты с натянутыми на подрамки и загрунтованными холстами, словно по щучьему велению, выросли за одну ночь в разных углах мастерской (Лившиц 1). In the space of a single night huge easels, their canvases primed and on stretchers, grew up in various corners of the studio, as if by magic (1a).
    На пороге, словно по щучьему веленью, вырос второй помощник (Максимов 2). As though at the wave of a wand, the Second Officer materialized in the doorway (2a).
    Part of the saying «По щучьему велению, по моему хотению». From the fairy tale about Emelya who set free the pike («щука») he had caught. The grateful pike promised that whatever Emelya wished would be granted as soon as he said «По щучьему велению, по моему хотению...».
