I was doing a little research on this because its quite interesting, but something that made me laugh...

Three-peat

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-peat

I woke up thinking of two more "tri-" words that crop up a lot in magical/mystical contexts.

A triad is any group of three anythings. In mythology it usually refers to a group of three gods that are seen as forming a coherent group. The Egyptians were fond of triads, with different gods depending on where you were. The most popular Egyptian triad in later times was the family group of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, but there were others, including the Theban Triad of Ra, Mut, and Khonsu, and the Memphite Triad of Ptah, Sekhmet, and Nefer-Tum.

Triune describes something that is three in one. The Wiccan moon goddess is often described as the "triune goddess", being thought of as a young maiden, a mature mother, and an elderly wise woman in sequence or simultaneously.

He Everyone,

For some reason, I was convinced this word existed and that I had seen it referenced somewhere. Oh well, never mind.

We also need to know, what is the purpose?
If it's a new magic trick, and you're aiming at magicians, you can call it what so ever. We also need to know, what is the purpose?

It's for a routine. It's not aimed at magicians, whatever that might mean. I know I could just make up a term (and I will) but I like to use correct terms and definitions in my routines as much as I can.

My thanks to whose who responded,

I think the term I'm going to use is Palilexia which means "a repetition od words"
