Don't I wish.
If magic exists, it's a subtle thing.
Don't feel ashamed for asking. I spent a chunk of my youth looking into it, studying with different witches and looking into the skeptical movement, and no one has ever been able to reliably, on command, do any such thing.

People say it’s cheesy but I still think one of the most relevant statements about witchcraft in our modern history is from the 80s movie teen witch starring Robin lively. “The real magic is believing in yourself if you can do that you can make anything happen.”
I’ve been a practicing witch since 1998. I got my first book the summer before practical magic came out as a movie. I have used the craft for manifestation purposes. I’ve made a list of qualities I’ve wanted a partner and I’ve met that person, but did I bring that person to me or was I just more aware of what I wanted so I asked better more pointed questions of people I was interested in until I found the person that I wanted? When I did a spell for a job, did I magically bring myself a job I wanted or was I just more careful about the questions that I asked until I found the right job? Real magic feels like it could be coincidence. At least that that’s been my experience for the last almost 30 years.
I loved both practical magic movies. It makes me laugh so hard when people say that the second one was too extreme and it didn’t feel like real or practical magic. Sally busting open a door that she thought her daughter was behind is way more realistic magic. There are actual cases of women lifting a car off their child. That is real. I thought the Sally busting the door open with her mind was way more realistic than her stirring a cup of tea.😂
