Human culture already uses lots of weird hand symbols to cast all sorts of spells. You can say "hello" with a hand gesture. You can cast teh "I'm sorry spell". There's a great "I need your attention" spell, another for "I can't understand/hear" ... and let's not forget the wonderful repertoire of spells for "You're an idiot" Hand and body gestures are a fantastic user interface. Computer recognition might not be quite sophisticated enough yet.
