The Egyptian magicians of the Bible

Hi,

"[The Egyptian magicians] They performed incantations, appearing to act but not acting, like the story of an Arab merchant who struck his camel, and then it rose… and many stories like these appear in the Talmud, as the sages recorded them from their times. The deeds of the chartumim of Egypt were all deceptions of the eyes."

(Midrash, Psikta Zutrita Shemot 22)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
