Presto

In musical notation, presto (Italian for "quickly") is an indication to play at a fast tempo.

The term is also used in conjunction with amateur stage magic - 'Presto chango' or 'Hey presto!' are common accompaniements to the waving of the magic wand or the swishing of the handkerchief as the magician performs their tricks.

It is also the little-known name of the layout engine for the Opera web browser.
