Since one person's magic is another's malocchio (evil eye), Italy's status-seeking magicians are encountering the problem of union men everywhere. Solidarity is unattainable, because no magician will admit that anyone but himself and a few of his close friends possesses true powers. The Magician of Rome, for instance, considers last week's demonstration organized by his Tobruk rival to be highly unprofessional, though he agrees with its aims: "Too long have we been taken for figures of ridicule.
