A Gift of Magic is a novel written by Lois Duncan in The '70s.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An old woman dies and gifts her grandchildren with talents. To her oldest grandchild she gives the gift of dance, her grandson, the gift of music and to Nancy, the one that resembles her the most, she gives the gift of magic.The story takes place following the divorce of Nancy's parents. In the past her family had moved around all over the world, which gave her a great love of geography, and at the beginning of the novel they settle down in her mother's old hometown in Florida. Nancy, upset at her parents' divorce, begins to develop her Psychic Powers and has to come to terms with what that also entails.Despite the somewhat similar premise, this was actually written a few years before Carrie and is much less action-packed and violent.Not to be confused with The Gift of the Magi which is something completely different.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – Statistics: In one chapter Nancy is given a standard test to measure psychic ability. She is asked to pick, without looking, all the white cards out of a deck of cards filled with an equal amount of black and white cards. Because she wishes to hide her ability, she picks all the black cards so that she would get all the "wrong" answers and fail the test. The examiner sees right through Nancy's ploy because there is an equal probability of picking only white or only black cards and explains that if she really wanted to screw up the test, she should have picked a roughly equal amount of black and white cards at random. | |

Amicable Exes: The parents. They get along; they just can't stay married because the kids' mother wants to settle down in one place, and their father has a continued need to travel the world. | |
