Mr. Gold to August: “…This knife cannot harness any magic in this world because there is no magic in this world.”
Evidence that there is magic in this world:
The curse exists:
1) manipulates people’s memories
2) stops time
3) stops people from leaving Storybrooke
Rumplestiltskin’s “please” works on Regina
Regina was able to kill Graham by crushing his glowing heart
Jefferson’s hat possibly did something magic
There are other means of doing any of these things without fairy tale magic, for example, Technology, Science are simply other kinds of “magics”. Perhaps, Graham and the glowing heart are connected in a different way. Consider this scenario: The Queen has apples and boxes of hearts. Let’s say the nectar/poison of the apples still acts as a sleeping potion. Graham was given an apple, he goes to sleep. While asleep, Graham’s heart is somehow linked to the glowing heart which, btw, doesn’t have to be magic to glow. Remember those real-life Glo-Worm bedtime toys? Think like that. So, when Regina has a temper tantrum and crushes the heart, she broke her toy – rather humorous and subtle subtext, if you ask me.

So did Mr. Gold lie just to get the knife back from August? He seemed to believe it when he said it. The Blue Fairy said she was giving Bae a way to get to a world without magic. Did she intentionally lie?
They went Somewhere, Over the Rainbow but sort of in reverse.

Was Regina able to bring her magic with her because she cast the curse, but nobody else? Is this why the “please” still works, because it is related to Regina?
“Please” is a control word – a trigger. She is bound to it in both worlds. Why it works in Storybrooke when Gold uses it is a HUGE clue as to why Regina suddenly stops her action and moves along. It’s as if The Universe wanted her to suddenly find some other idea to pursue the moment Gold says “Please.”

Then you won’t understand the following: Cacodylic acid, Starlite, Picabia
OUAT is far beyond a simple TV program. I’ve found things but I’m not going to set up up for anyone yet – FIGURE IT OUT…it’s fun, involves many accomplices and is coming at us from all directions. There is a brilliant concept already in play and most have no idea what is about to happen. It will make you question everything you “believe” is factual. Trust me, OUAT didn’t begin with the pilot. Get ready to be amazed and ask yourseelf, “Who are you?”.
