Handing me a box, he ordered me to open it in bed in the evening and, holding the object I would find in my hands, to repeat the words engraved on it until I fell asleep.

In the box, a medal.

On the medal was his profile and inscribed all around: Achille d'Angelo Achille d'Angelo Achille d'Angelo. On the other side of the coin another profile and all around: Magician of Naples Magician of Naples Magician of Naples.

I jumped out of bed, ran to the window, threw the medal into the night and: "Go away!!" I shouted.
