by Emily Arata

Magic, the hottest text-based delivery service on the Internet, might be able to get you anything, but just in case, WIRED tried it out.

With $500 in his pocket, tech writer Brent Rose rolled out of bed and placed a series of stress-testing orders that might make any normal person question his sanity: marijuana, a meatball sandwich and pricey hoodie, to name just a few.

There's seemingly nothing Magic can't do, short of finding a verifiably authentic Mexican wrestling mask.

Stay tuned for the final scene, in which Rose revels in his newfound possessions like any true tech geek would.
