Poetry — she used some magical words (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hey presto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some magical words' is the definition.
'hey-presto' can be an answer for 'words' (I have seen 'Magic words ' mean 'hey-presto' so perhaps 'words' could also mean 'hey-presto'). I am not certain of the 'some magical' bit.

'poetry she used' is the wordplay.
'used' indicates an anagram.
'poetry'+'she'='poetryshe'
'poetryshe' is an anagram of 'HEY-PRESTO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hey presto that I've seen before include "with the wave of a magic wand!" , "Conjuror's command or exclamation" , "Conjurer's exclamation" , "before your very eyes" , "Cry from magicians" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
