Viral “Pirates Baba” cheats streets with false black magic – public reacts with laughter and outrage

A self -proclaimed 'Baba' has conquered social media in the storm and used fake black magic with his unusual street act to make people give him money. His scheme is simple, but effective: he asks for alms on the street, and if someone refuses, he theatrically throws a mysterious white powder on her and pretends to curse it. The alleged 'victim' then reacts in fear and acts as if they are really affected by the magic.

However, the person who is “cursed” is actually his accomplice and helps to sell the illusion to viewers. The dramatic reaction in panic near panic nearby, provided the black magic is real. In fear of suffering the same fate, many rush to hand over money to give the Baba in the hope of avoiding the “curse”. This clever fraudster was caught several times in front of the camera and became viral on social media platforms.

While many online users are amused and they describe as “Genius Street Hustle” and an “innovative business model”, others are deeply critical. Some believe that this act is nothing more than a fraud that takes the superstition of people and takes advantage of their fears for money. Religious people argue that such antics damage the credibility of real faith and that people could push away from real religious beliefs.

Others see the action as a harmless performance art – an exaggerated representation of the theaters and not as a serious attempt to deceive. Some even compare it with Street Magic or traditional popular performances, which are more of damage than damage.

The controversy only fueled Baba's popularity, with more people fading personally to experience his antics. While he continues to collect cash from frightened pedestrians, he continues to discuss anger – should this be viewed as clever tricks, comedic street performance or direct fraud?

One thing is certain: the “Pirates Baba” has attracted public attention and once again proves how easily fear, superstition and clever showmanship can be profit.
