The general manager of the academy of astronomical revelation in Egypt and the eastern countries, Abdul-Fattah As-Sayyed Abdo At-Toukhi, published books about magic and how to learn it. These books included the instructions for, as he purported, how to control whatever you want and however you want to do it, methods of treating and healing, how to establish links or loosen bonds, and also many other subjects. The important thing is that Mr. At-Toukhi had a photograph of himself at the beginning of his books, and with that very picture, he revealed the falseness of his science. This picture showed that his eyes had been afflicted with a squinting aspect which had led to a considerable loss in vision, so that he had become short sighted. Had his science been capable of providing real healing, he would himself have been able to benefit from his own arts.
Thus is the situation with all of the magicians who cannot bring themselves the money that would keep them from begging and humiliating themselves just to allay their hunger, though they are, according to their claim, the discoverers and revealers of treasures.
