Could you give some kind of relativistic indicator on that "charm", in the form of a simile?

"Worked like a charm caught on the side of a small hippo while it's tangled up in your rubber raft after slashing it open and throwing everyone into the whitewater rapids."

"Worked like a charm on that Lucky Charms commercial where you want to strangle that annoying Irish guy."

"Worked like a charm as long as you didn't need less than 3 degrees arc resolution."
