    MF really did a class change, went from a white mage to a black mage like it was final fantasy 🤣

    “We call him Tiago as a term of endearment……..he was a murderer”
  • @WaVy5477
    The placebo effect is powerful...
  • @jin8684
    Ah yes, scamming is one of the oldest trades of man
  • @Ccubed92
    So pretty much another scam artist targeting the poor,weak,and gullible who couldnt find a real career job.
  • i've seen ads for witchcraft in local papers in peru. the services are usually: make someone fall in love with you, or make an enemy suffer. i was pretty shocked by the childishness and pettiness of it. enough people want to throw a supernatural tantrum that its a business.
  • @AvivMakesRobots
    Paying for these services is the ultimate example of holding a grudge.
  • @Exidose
    Saving this to come back later and witness very high levels of delusion.
  • Bro doesn't even look like he has hair on his nuts. People taking advantage of other's insecurities and desperation
  • The funny thing is he looks like a normal everyday man just by looking at him I wouldn’t think he would be involved in black magic
  • @strawberry-soju
    Damn, I don't know about his wizard abilities but the b-rolls of him smoking were enchanting 😍😍😍
  • @hoenheim94
    The replica of the "Pazuzu statue" prop from The Exorcist at the beginning had me fucking dying lol
  • @thetruth1862
    I don't practice Santaria, i ain't got no crystal ball.
  • @GGoAwayy
    I dated a Wiccan guy a couple decades ago. He put hexes and curses on people he didn't like. And had candles and special spells for people he did. I thought it was all ridiculous, which is why we broke up... but ultimately it all seemed harmless. Go ahead and curse me all you want if it makes you feel better.
  • @kenlewis2253
    It fascinates me how many commenters are so sure about something that they know absolutely nothing about.
  • @rebeccareese73
    i love how some skulls wore hats. i guess they tell him when they're cold? lol
