I say this guy is a con artist, plain and simple.

There was a thread earlier asking if anyone has seen a psychic. Apparently psychics can also be charged under the criminal code - http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-365.html

Why are Peter Popoff and Uri Geller not in jail after being exposed by Amazing Randi?

I suspect Popoff gets away with it because he only asks for donations , not sure how Geller gets his loot

Man charged with practicing witchcraft

Actually he was not. What he was charged with under the Criminal Code is Pretending to practise witchcraft, § 365

As do I and more importantly the Toronto Police Service, since pretending to practise (sic) witchcraft is when you read the law a form of fraud and extortion.

In this case charging someone $101,000 to supposedly remove an evil spirit he told him was possessing a relative.

I think that the man seeking help was trying to help his daughter who was ill. I suppose he was really desperate and this pr**k took advantage of that.

Someone who will exploit someone like this is disgusting.

So what is the penalty for practicing witchcraft for real?

I'm glad they caught this guy. Phonies like him make things harder for all the honest witches who are out there doing good things for society every day.
