Red Magician
Marcel Radhival, a magician who became popular after appearing on the Youtube channel, exposed various tricks of spiritual practice. There are those who support the action, but there are also those who oppose it. In fact, the man who is also known as the Red Magician (Pesulap Merah) was reported by a man named Agustiar to the South Jakarta Metro Police on charges of violating the ITE Law.
Previously, the Red Magician had also dealt with the police regarding his polemic with the Padepokan leader, Nur Dzat Gus Samsudin. The Red Magician, who did not believe in Gus Samsudin's treatment, had asked to prove the authenticity of the spiritual knowledge practiced by Gus Samsudin. The Red Magician even visited Gus Samsudin's Nur Dzat Sejati Padepokan in Blitar, East Java.
The arrival of the Red Magician to Blitar had sparked an argument with Gus Samsudin's men at the hermitage. Finally, the Rejowinangun village head stepped in and asked for the Red Magician's ID card. This process was difficult because the Red Magician was initially reluctant to give his ID card.
The polemic of proving this supernatural power eventually led to a police report. Gus Samsudin reported the Red Magician to the East Java Regional Police on charges of defamation and hate speech. In his report, Gus Samsudin brought evidence in the form of video content from the Red Magician's Youtube.
Regardless of the controversy, what the Red Magician did is interesting. It takes a completely different gap. Uncover spiritual or shamanic practices. It does not only require creativity but also courage. In one of the episodes, Red Magician uncovers tricks to move nails, razor blades, and sharp objects related to witchcraft from the human body to coconuts. In his explanation, the Red Magician thought that the transfer of the sharp objects was just a lie. He also loudly and bravely challenges the shamans to perform witchcraft on him.
In another episode, he exposes the practice of compassion. Also transfers internal energy. According to the Red Magician, the transfer of internal energy is nothing but the result of hypnosis.
In this country, it is undeniable that there are still many who believe in spiritual or shamanism such as witchcraft, compassion, and others. Other unreasonable things. In fact, several years ago the Indonesian House of Representatives included witchcraft and others in the Criminal Code.
In fact, there are a number of psychics who openly claim to be witch doctors. So celebrities too, even though later the person concerned confessed.
Such a practice is indeed difficult to prove. Those who come also tend to despair. Some do not believe, but many believe and go to people who claim to be magic shamans.
Miraculous indeed. In the digital and sophisticated era, it turns out that many believe in mystical things beyond reason. In a slightly different context, believe it or not, if a bone is broken, people in Indonesia prefer to go to a shaman rather than a doctor. And, in many cases, again, believe it or not, it's healed.
Back to the issue of witchcraft, if it is true that witchcraft exists, maybe the witch doctors who claim to know magic can immediately practice by attacking the Red Magician. After all, the Red Magician is also indeed challenging to be witched. Or related to witchcraft, it can also be held openly. Who are the candidates to be used? It is interesting to watch and as a proof.
