+<p><a class="reference internal" href="mock.html#mock.Mock" title="mock.Mock"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Mock</span></tt></a> supports mocking <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ironpythoninaction.com/magic-methods.html">magic methods</a>. This allows mock
+objects to replace containers or other objects that implement Python
+protocols.</p>
+<p>Because magic methods are looked up differently from normal methods <a class="footnote-reference" href="#id4" id="id2">[1]</a>, this
+support has been specially implemented. This means that only specific magic
+methods are supported. The supported list includes <em>almost</em> all of them. If
+there are any missing that you need please let us know!</p>
+<p>You mock magic methods by setting the method you are interested in to a function
+or a mock instance. If you are using a function then it <em>must</em> take <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">self</span></tt> as
+the first argument <a class="footnote-reference" href="#id5" id="id3">[2]</a>.</p>
