Police seize magic trick from preacher


Via Reuters:

The Electric Touch device is usually sold in magic shops alongside card tricks, magic coins and disappearing balls.

“With a simple touch, make a fluorescent bulb glow on and off at your command, make confetti move, charge a spoon and watch as it shocks a volunteer!” says one online magic shop selling the device.

“People could be duped to think it is a miracle,” the New Vision quoted Civil Aviation Authority security chief Herman Owomugisha as saying.

Officials are worried about the proliferation of “miracle” churches in Uganda, many of which claim to cure HIV/AIDS.
