The sun, moon, and stars all must be in proper alignment. While there is a range, casting the spell outside of the correct temporal window simply will not work. 

Gather the appropriate artifacts for communication and numeracy. 

Speak out to the universe and recite the words, describing your desire. Be clear about what you want. 

Make the required sacrifice. (There is always a sacrifice.) 

Be patient, magic often takes time. 

Within an hour, however, your pizza should be delivered.
