‘I made up the verb mandraking Mandrake, who was a famous mogicion in comic books when / was growing up in Venezuela. During my childhood (1960’s) when something seemed impossible, people would say: . ‘only Mandrake can do it’ 1. Mandraking is for me the action festing physically what one can imagine
