  Speaker 1: I want you to close your eyes for a second.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: We're going to Alexandria, Egypt. It's twenty fifteen, right, it's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. You're standing on a street corner in a
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: really dense residential neighborhood. You can smell the Mediterranean, that
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: heavy salty humidity that just sticks to your skin.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: But you're not looking at the sea.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: No, you're looking at an apartment building and it looks
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: like it looks like every other building on the block,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: except for the way people behave when they get near it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: It's subtle at first, but if you watch closely, you
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: see the pattern break. Yeah, conversation stop, Pedestrians speed up.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: They keep their heads down, eyes fixed on the pavement.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: They are actively refusing to look up at the windows
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: on the second floor.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a magnetic field of pure avoidance.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Exactly because they know who lives there, or maybe more accurately,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: they know what lives there.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: We're talking about a man the neighborhood calls Sheik Mohammed.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: He's seventy years old. Uh huh, But this isn't your
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: kindly grandfather sitting on the balcony watching the world go by.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Not at all This is a man who leaves his
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: home carrying a dark, heavy briefcase. He speaks to absolutely
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: no one, and then he just vanishes back behind these massive,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: reinforced heavy doors.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And behind those doors, it's not a normal living space.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It's a stage set designed for nightmares.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the descriptions of this place are wild.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: It was a sanctuary of shadows, dim lighting, the smell
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: of stale incense that had basically seeped into the plaster
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: over the years. Walls completely covered in incomprehensible drawings.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And the shelves, The.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Shelves groaning under the weight of ancient dusty groomore to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the locals, he wasn't just reckless. They called him the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Air of.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Demons, The Air of Demons. That nickname alone gives me chills.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's terrifying.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Today on the Deep Dive, we are unpacking the story
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of this man. We're looking at how a guy with
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: seemingly no past managed to hold an entire community in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a grip of absolute terror for thirty years.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Thirty years.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an incredible run, and we're going to break
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: down the dark arts he claimed to master, the police reports,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the witness testimonies.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: But Here's the thing we need to be really clear
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: on right from the jump. This is a story about magic.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: If you're looking for actual supernatural events, you are in
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the wrong place. This is a masterclass in psychological warfare.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: He really is.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It's about how a predator identifies the cracks in a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: person's psyche, desperation, grief, fear, and just prize them open.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So let's peel back the layers here. The neighbors in
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Alexandria said he appeared out of nowhere. One account literally
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: called him a satanic planting, like he just sprouted from
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the ground one day.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Nobody's born a seventy year old sorcerer.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: No, everyone has an origin story.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And he starts way back, decades before he ever set
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: foot in Alexandria. We have to look at Mohammed as
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a young man fresh out of high school. Okay, he's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: standing at a crossroads that a lot of young people face.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He sees the traditional path university, a low level government job,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a modest salary, a quiet life, and he looks at
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: that with total disdain.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He didn't just want a job, he wanted status.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He wanted power. There's a distinct narcissism in his profile.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Even back then, he realized that traditional education wouldn't give
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: him the kind of control he craved, so he pivoted.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: He became an autodidact right, but not.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Of history or science. He started obsessively reading the works
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of a man named Abdel Fata Eltuki.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Eltuki while crepping for this. He's known as the Heir
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of Iblis, the Air of Satan. His books are basically
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the textbooks for this kind of red magic in the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: region right exactly.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Eltuki wrote extensive guides on how to contact the gin now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: For context, in Islamic cosmology, gin aren't just fairy tales
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: or genies.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: In a lamp, right, They're not granting three wishes.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: No, they are beings created from smokeless fire. They coexist
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: with humans, and they possess free will. They can be good, bad,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: or indifferent. Eltuki's writings claim to teach you how to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: bind these entities to your will.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So young Muhammad isn't just reading these for fun. He's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: treating it like a PhD program.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: He was incredibly disciplined about it. He enrolled in the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Al Shark Institute to study Altuki's methods. Formally, he even
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: took correspondence courses with the EBRIS Institute for Astronomical Sciences.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Called on correspondence courses like mail order Wizardry.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It sounds ridiculous to us now, but think about the era.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: This was his way of building credentials. He was gathering
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: paper to prove he knew things other people didn't. That
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: makes sense, but here's the real twist. While he was
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: studying the magic, he was actually learning something much more practical.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: He was learning the cold.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Read weaponized empathy.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Precisely, he was learning how to look at a stranger
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and spot their insecurity before they even open their mouth.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He learned that if you tell someone exactly what they fear,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they will completely believe you have the power to fix it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So fast forward a bit. He's armed with these psychological
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: tricks and a stack of creepy books. He's in his
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: twent he's living in Cairo, and this is where the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: story shifts from a biography to a domestic thriller.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Because he's leading a double life.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Right to the outside world, he's a humble factory worker.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: He gets married. His wife thinks she's starting a normal life,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: but once the door closes.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The mask comes off.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Imagine being that wife. You come home expecting dinner or
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: just a normal conversation, and instead you find papers covered
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in bizarre symbols, scattered on the floor. Talismans, Yeah, talismans.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You find your husband sitting alone in a dark room
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: whispering to empty corners.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It's a textbook campaign of terror. She realized pretty quickly.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: He wasn't working at a factory. The whispering, the symbols,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: this was his actual trade.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And when she finally gathered the courage to confront him
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to ask for a divorce, he didn't argue like a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: normal spouse.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: No, he attacked her reality.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He told her he had cast a lower work on her.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That's black magic, right, yes, magic with the intent to harm.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: He told her she would never marry again, that her
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: life would be absolute ruin. And then he manages you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to something truly terrifying.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: She started hallucinating.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: She reported seeing the drawings on the walls actually moving.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That is the part that's stuck with me the most.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: How do you do that? How do you make someone
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: see moving walls without drugs?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's the power of suggestion amplified by extreme stress. If
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you keep someone in a state of sleep deprivation, constant anxiety,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and fear, their brain becomes highly suggestible.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Like a waking nightmare.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly if an authority figure, which he was to her, says, look,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the wall is moving, the brain struggles to process the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: visual data and can actually manufacture that movement to align
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: with the expectation. Wow, it's gaslighting escalated to literal psychological torture.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: She was living in a horror movie.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: She was, but she's also the first hero of this
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: story because she didn't go to another sorcerer to break
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the spell. She didn't buy into his framework.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: She went to do a psychiatrist.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: She chose science over the supernatural.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: She realized I am not cursed being abused. Yeah, she
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: got the divorce, she escaped, and that loss of control
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: seemed to spook him because right after the divorce, Mohammed
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: vanished from Cairo.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Completely, which brings us back to where we started Alexandria.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: He resurfaces now forty years old. The factory worker persona
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is dead, the young apprentice is gone. He arives as
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a blank slate.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: He has absolutely no history in this neighborhood, and he
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: spends the next thirty years building an empire, and he.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Was patient about it. He didn't start by putting up
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a billboard.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: No, he started by integrating. He bought a supermarket, then
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a laundromat. He remarried, had children. He looked like a
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: pillar of the community. But he let the rumors do
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the work for him, the whispers.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: He can fix things, he can cure illness, he can break.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Curses exactly, And once the reputation was firmly established, he
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: introduced the product line. Let's talk about the.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Rings, the spiritual rings. This part feels like a modern
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: tech scam, just with medieval coat of paint.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: It was essentially a subscription service. He sold these metal bands,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: claiming they had a servant or a gin attached to them.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: An entry level ring was about four hundred Egyptian.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Pounds, expensive but attainable.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But if he sensed you had money, or if he
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: sensed you were desperate enough to borrow it, he had
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the premium tier.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: We're talking rings selling for four hundred thousand pounds. That's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a house. That's a life.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Savings it is, And the brilliance of the scam was
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the recharging mechanism. He told them the ring's energy would fade,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: so they had to come back to him to replenish it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He created a dependency loop.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: He also used a categorization system called the metals.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: This is the gold, silver tin thing right right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He would take a person's name and birth date, use
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a system called objod numerals to turn the letters into
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: numbers and calculate their spiritual metal.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It gave the whole thing of veneer of mathematical legitimacy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But really it was a credit check. If you were tin,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he knew you were low value. If your gold, he
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: knew he could bleed you dry.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Let's walk through a specif of a case, because the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: abstraction hides how cruel this really was. There's the case
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of the woman, let's call it the gold woman, who
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: came to him because she couldn't get married.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: This is a classic example, and her social context remaining
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: unmarried was a source of massive pressure. She's incredibly vulnerable.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: She walks into that dimly lit apartment. He does the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: cold read.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: He asks her name, scribbles some fake.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Math, and he looks her in the eye and he
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: validates her worst fear. He says, you're right, there is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a powerful block on.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You that moment must be intoxicating for the victim. Finally
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: someone sees the problem.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Relief is the trap. Once she accepts the diagnosis, she
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: has to accept the cure. He tells her that because
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: her metal is gold, the gin will only accept payment
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: in gold. Convenient, incredibly, but then he escalates. He demands
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: specific incense, which he sells at a massive markup, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: then he demands a piece of her underwear.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Why, I mean, beyond the obvious creepiness, how did you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: justify that?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: He claimed the curse was attached to her clothing, so
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: he needed the clothing to break it. But psychologically, this
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: is about breaking boundaries.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It's a grooming technique.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: If I can get you to hand over something that
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: intimate I own you, you are now complicit. You feel shame,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and shame keeps you silent.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And did he cure her?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Of course not. He performed a ritual, probably used some
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: ventriloquism to throw his voice, made the lights flicker, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: then gave her a vague description of her enemy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: The person who chrised you is a woman short.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: With dark hair, which is basically describing half the population.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: So she goes home. She looks at her cousin or
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: her neighbor who fits that description, and she thinks it
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: was her.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: He successfully redirected her anger away from him and toward
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: her own community.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: He did this for thirty years. He had assistance, he
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: even had social media pages. Later on, he felt completely untouchable.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: But every predator eventually gets careless. Twenty fifteen the final case.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: This is where the story turns. A new victim arrives
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: from outside Alexandria. Her problem is heartbreakingly common in these cases, infertility.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: She had tried doctors, she had tried everything. She was
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: at the end of a rope.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Mohammed sees this woman, sees the desperation, and he gets greedy.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: He overplayed his hand. He told her the standard ring
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: wouldn't work.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He bumped the price from five thy to twelve thousand
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: pounds immediately, But.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Then he dropped the bomb. He told her that money
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: wasn't enough.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: He claimed the gin had a specific physical demand.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: He told her that to break the curse, he had
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to channel the gin and have sexual intercourse with her.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: It's sickening, it's sexual assault wrapped in a medical treatment.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: It is the ultimate predation. But he miscalculated this woman.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: She didn't crumble. She was horrified, yes, but her survival
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: instinct kicked in. She realized she was in a room
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: with a monster and she needed to get out, so
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: she lied. She improvised. She told him she couldn't do
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it there and his apartment his temple. She convinced him
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that for the ritual to work, he had to come
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to her location. She gave him an address, and his.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Ego was so inflated after thirty years of control, that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: he actually bought it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: He packed his famous black bag, the one the neighbors
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: always feared, and he left his sanctuary. He traveled to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the meeting spot. He gets there, he sees the woman
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: waiting on the corner. He approaches, thinking he's about to
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: claim another victim. Instead, the trap snaps shut. It wasn't
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a rendezvous. It was a sting operation. Police officers swarm him,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the handcuff, the air of demons right there on the street.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And the neighbor, the people who had walked past his
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: door in terror for decades, they watched him get dragged
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: away like a common thief.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And this is where the story takes a twist that
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: really changes how we view those thirty years, because they
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: take him to the station. They run his fingerprints, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the mystery of his origins suddenly clears up. The Air
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of Demons had a record, and suddenly those missing years,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the time between his divorce and Cairo and his appearance
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: in Alexandria make perfect sense. He hadn't vanished into the ether.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: He had been in prison for charlatanism and sorcery. He
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: had been arrested in Cairo thirty two, two years prior
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: for the exact same scams.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So prison didn't stop him, They refined him.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Prison was his graduate school. He realized that in Cairo
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: he had been too loud, too reckless. He learned that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to succeed he needed to be quieter, more exclusive, scarier.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: That explains the heavy doors, the absolute silence, the refusal
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to mingle with neighbors. He wasn't being mysterious for the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: sake of magic. He was being careful to avoid going
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: back to jail.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Precisely, he crafted the Air of Demon's persona specifically to
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: keep people away. If people fear you, they don't report you,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: they don't gossip about you to the police. They just
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: look away.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It's a brilliant, if totally evil defense mechanism, and in
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the interrogation, the facade just crumbled, didn't it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Immediately he confessed to all of it. He admitted it
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: was all a business. The magic, the jin, the talismans.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: It was just theater, a way to exploit the week
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: for money and pleasure.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It's cragic to think about the neighbors. They spend thirty
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: years terrified of a man they thought had supernatural powers,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: but he was just an ex khan with a grift.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: It really forces us to look at the nature of belief.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Mohammed had zero magical ability none. He couldn't summon a
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: fly let alone a demon. Yet he controlled community for
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: three decades. Why because the community believe he could.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: His power didn't come from the books on his shelf.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: It came from the minds of the people looking at him.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: We gave him that power.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: That is the most chilling takeaway here. The air of
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Demons was a co creation. It was built by his greed, sure,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: but it was sustained by our collective need for easy
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: answers to impossible problems. We want to believe there's a
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: magical solution to infertility or loneliness or poverty.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And as long as we have that desire, there will
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: be men like Mohammed waiting in the shadows to sell
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it to.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Us, waiting for that next desperate knock on the door.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It makes you wonder about the modern equivalents too. I mean,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: we don't always walk down to the scary apartment at
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the end of the block anymore. Today. The cold reading

  Speaker 1: you're sick. It reads your data instead of your star sign,

  Speaker 1: and then it feeds you exactly the cure you want
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to see, whether it's a fake illness supplement or a

  Speaker 1: That is a thought that's going to keep me looking
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: over my shoulder, both on the street and online. Thank
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you for joining us on this deep dive into the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: air of demons. Stay curious, stay skeptical, and we'll catch
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you on the next one.
