# Magic variables

ConverseScript creates variables automatically according to situations. They are called magic variables. The most common is to recover the user input.

```typescript
@Event('start') {
    > What your name ?
    Prompt()
    > Hello { :text }
}
```

A magic variable is preceded by the `:` character. Here, the variable is named `:text`
