I think that is a major misconception that the educated and rich (upperclass) people rarely indulge in such shady matters. I recall watching this documentary on black magic and taweez business, and this ‘magician’ also said that it’s the rich people who bring in the big money and keep the business going.

hmm interesting! I come from a village in Pakistan. So in my limited experience, I saw the lower class with such mentality that the explanation for all their problems must be buri nazar, taaweez ganda, jaadu tona, etc. Beta bigar gaya hai, tu peer baba ke pass chalen. Aulaad nahi ho rahi tu baba ji ke darbaar chalen. Fasal achi nahi rahi is season main, tu yaqeenan kisi ne kuch karwaya hai.
But it makes sense that the big money probably comes from loaded families where the stakes are much higher.
