Taarkin Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 ABC Online Friday, November 8, 2002. Posted: 10:48:47 (AEDT) Police search for 'sorcerer' after invisible robbery Police in Iran are looking for a phoney sorcerer who conned a man into believing he was invisible, and could therefore rob banks. Local newspapers say customers at a Tehran bank quickly overpowered the deluded robber after he had started snatching banknotes from their hands. Appearing in court, the repentant thief explained he had paid about $1,000 to a man who gave him some spells and told him to tie them to his arm to become invisible. The would-be bank robber reportedly told the judge he realised he had made a mistake as soon as he was nabbed. His sentence is not known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 In most of the center zone of the african continent, where I've lived several times, those kind of "sorcerers" are called "Marabou" and in those countries where there's a "Marabou Culture" about 90% of the population believe in it. Believe me, I've heard of stupider stuff than that invisible story... Even the presidents have their special "Marabou" and consult them for political stuff... These "Marabou" are the worst thieves I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
