Tony Agpaoa

Antonio C. Agpaoa (1939 to 1982), known as Tony Agpaoa, was a Filipino practitioner of psychic surgery who worked in Manila. It was alleged that he could remove tissue from a patient's body without making an incision, and his centre in Baguio drew thousands of people each year. Magicians and skeptics concluded that his feats were conjuring tricks. In 1968 he was arrested and charged with fraud in the United States for pretending to mend a bone in a patient's neck, and he fled back to the Philippines instead of facing the charges. The atlas records what was held and what was disputed, and this is not medical advice.
