ok,the white man called it tricks and you believe in 'magic tricks' but when the blACK Man calls it vodoo,you dont believe in it.As i said,theres nothing no one can tell you that will make you believe unless you experience it first hand
I have experienced magic tricks firsthand and I do perform myself. So I know principles of some of the tricks used by our so called juju priests.

From my experience real voodoo exist, year 2008 An Alfa asked me why I had not gone back for my HND and I told him it was because I wanted to change to a B.Sc program in the university but no money to buy Jamb form, He asked me to visit his home and he gave me some thing to eat and then told me that to prove that the charm is real, the person who will pay for my jamb form is the most stingy I know and Lo and behold 2 days later a friend whom I know to be very stingy asked me why I've not purchased the jamb form and I told him no money and he gave me the money right there

Why didn't do it again and again
Why waste time going school. Another embellished story

I have always being a skeptic even when I was into religion. I had a turbulent upbringing and my idea about life is that of doubt and suspicion. I never trust anything. When you grow up in rural African, it is almost impossible not to believe in voodoo. Even obtaining a PhD in science related discipline may not help you erase this skewed belief from your brain.

I was in Senior Secondary School 2 at that time. I knew much about the impotence and uselessness of voodoo, I never believed it for a second. Afterall I went through some tutelage in herbal concoction and voodoo in the hands of my maternal grandfather. I knew vodoo was nothing but charade and twist of reality.

The common discussion among we the senior boys then usually centered on girls and voodoo. If it not about how to toast that beautiful classmate of yours, it was about how to use voodoo to pass exams. Such is the life in rural Africa! But I was different. I was only interested in the girls' talk and not the voodoo aspect.

My friends and some family members nicknamed me "Mr science" because I would always find a logical explanation to whatever point they could raise. But a time came that my friends teamed up to "'prove" to me that voodoo was real. So they called me to advertise a man that was unbeatable in voodoo in our village at that time. They challenged me to go for any voodoo of my choice. We arranged to visit the old man. There were varieties of voodoo at his disposal. There was a charm for fighting( Aluwo in Yoruba language), I didn't need that because I hate fighting. There was Memory booster charm(ogun isoye). I didn't need that idea. I was leading the class in every subject. Then there was "touch and follow" (amudo) charm. That was it! That was my choice.

There had been this beautiful girl that I was eyeing but my taciturnity and shyness wouldn't allow me talked to her. So my friends decided I use her for the guinea-pig to prove the potency of the "touch and follow" charm. We went to the voodoo man. After the usual show off and self-praised he handed me the ring which he instructed that I should LovePeddler on my middle finger and touch the woman of my choice. He boasted that anyone I touched, must follow me instantly. We went home. We waited for the right time to see the girl, for we dare not go into their compound. Her father was fire!

The right opportunity came calling when my friend pointed to Bose(I changed her name) coming from the stream with bucket of water on her head. Quickly we rearranged, strategised and manoeuvred. My friends went the other way while I conered her at slim path. "Hello Bose where are you coming from", I managed to utter these words as my heart was already in my mouth. Before she could look back to response, I touched her bottom with the ring as instructed. The humiliation I got next was beyond description. She emptied the water completely on my head immediately accompanied with two fast slaps. My eyes where cleared. I was drenched. I wanted to abscond from the scene but Bose did the worst. She held me and screamed. Almost instantly the people gathered. She narrated how I touched her bottom. That was a great offense!

Well the rest is story. Moma's 7 lashes were not as painful as the jest and laughter coming from my classmates. We went to the voodoo man the evening of the second day to complain how his "medicine" bleeped up. The baba threatened to turn us into chicken. He sent us away. I won anyway.

Although humiliated, but I was able to once again prove to people around me that voodoo does not work. But you need a skeptical and inquisitive mind to find out.

This is just one of the many encounters i have had about the falsehood and deceit in voodoo. And don't ever import the "No true Scotsman Fallacy" into this by telling me that i have never met a real juju man. Don't tell me real juju men don't do fake voodoo. All voodoo are fake.

all those things are magic tricks. Even white people perform worse on stage yet they call them tricks
magic itself is not ordinary. There are movies by foreigners to prove this. There is a difference between tricks and magic.

I would explain/show it to you but you have to first promise to do a video of yourself (with your moniker taped to your shirt)rolling in a refuse dump or in muddy water and uploading here as punishment for ignoring to ask google and youtube for something like this.

Sapiosexuality:
Any science student can explain effect but basic science can't explain reaction. If it can, the argument wouldn't be about the realness but how poles and energy are manipulated.

Poles and energy ?
This is nothing but speculation on your part.
I maintain, that voodoo owes its "mystery" to secrecy of the practitioners
and the effort they put into grandiose displays.

I once read of a guy who went into an uncontrollable muscle spasm followed by
rapid skin reddening, he was admitted for 3 weeks in the hospital and the doctors
were busy running various diagnostic tests. if I were to speculate, I would be thinking
of some advanced reaction or disease that is beyond basic science.

But it turns out that he was just exposed to an allergen.


Effects don't require an explanation, in fact, some nursery pupils can accurately describe
what they observe.
The question of "why" is the essence of science.

I don't believe in voodoo as well. . .
Most of the result people get from doing voodoo are just placebo effects.
So technically- if the results are in their favour..the voodoo worked. If the results didn't work in their favour ..they didn't use/apply the voodoo well or they must have done something wrong.
However I do believe in magic tricks (note I said "magic tricks, not magic).
Shows like "The Carbonaro Effect", "Troy" ,"Dynamo" ,"The next great magician" (it's like America's got Talent but only with magicians ) and any show that has Lior Suchard in it have shown me that some people can manipulate the minds of others to think whatever they want them to think.
Lior Suchard is in a different world entirely. .the man has been blacklisted in all casinos around the world.One of the things he can do is to tell you the name of your first boyfriend/girlfriend just by looking directly into your eyes,if the name is not in a language he understands. .he'll spell it or write it out for you to pronounce. According to him ,when we think . .we emit our thoughts around us. .and he is among the few people in the world who can tap from it. .He has tapped into the minds of famous pepole like Zac Efron, Khoe Kadarshian ,Larry King. . .
Even though his abilities are rare and impressive,he has never once said he uses magic or voodoo. .he maintains that what he does has a logical explaination that only he and a few others like him know. . .
I'm using Lior Suchard as a case study because his tricks are so precise and smooth you don't actually know he's doing it and this can make people who see such neat work believe its magic. .but just as he said. .there is a logical explaination to everything. .because we don't understand some doesn't mean it's not there...
