In the city of Kampala where I live, a new and highly sophisticated manner of theft has suddenly emerged around the city. The perpetrators are mostly young men who apply some kind of magic in their trade. Recently a young student under my care came crying her heart out after having lost about $450 meant for tuition this semester. Some people came and tossed stones around and when the stones disappeared, she felt the stones in her body-she had to give all her money to have the stones removed. Do you also experience this kind of theft?

I do not believe in magic and I think things like this are only "felt" by those that believe. Therefore I wouldn't really consider this as theft since the person is giving their money freely in order to have these stones removed. While I do not feel that using this form of "magic" for personal gain by manipulating a vulnerable person is right, I do not believe it is theft.

Yeah, belief is all that matters with such things! If you dont believe, nothing happens to you.

Thefts like these have occured in every city in every country over every year it is all slight of hand illusions tricking people who belive in superstitions brought on by soceity that uses fear in the unknown to control the masses I can perform every one of the tricks that is described in the newsflavor site they are easy tricks for instance the disappering stones are just lose dyed slat stuck together when thrown in the air will be caught by the wind and then become blown apart then when your target is not paying attention you just and two skin colored patches to there skin then you take a flash powder draw a cross on the person skin and when the air hits it the powder flashes into flame. back in the middle ages they would put on shows of magic and it was so scarry for the people that when the cut purses would walk up and slit the pouch they wouldnt notice because they would think someone was just takeing comfort in touching them so teach your student that there is no such thing as real magic just slight of hand tricks and if there to scared to lurn make protective talisms fight fire with fire as they say

You have said very critical things here my friend and you have actually shocked me with the truth about magical things. What you describe is exactly what this student told me happened to her! Thanks for the response!
