u Ubos Chontillo Cumaseba Origins: Ubos is the name of a tree native to the Peruvian Amazon. Chontillo and Cumaseba are names of Amazonian lakes. Common Magician's Applications: Restoration. For example: "In an attempt to recover my dignity, I took out a three-foot length of sash cord I had brought along and set out to demonstrate my powers of magic. I was standing at ground level. My audience consisting of Moico, Roy, the fisherman, the wizened old woman and the young boy who were seated, facing me, with their legs dangling from the edge of the second floor of the hut. I doubled the rope into a hair pin in my left hand. I handed the fisherman my Swiss army knife and asked him to cut the exposed loop. I then tied the cut ends together and demonstrated by tugging on the loose ends that I now had a repaired rope with a knot in the middle of its length. There were polite smiles that conveyed a message of 'dumb trick, gringo.' The smiles turned to looks of amazement and disbelief as I covered the knot with my left hand, uttered the magic words, 'Ubos, Chontillo, Cumaseba,' and pulled a complete, uncut original length of rope from my left hand."1 Uguh Buguh Alacazam (see also ooga-booga) In Literature: • Brian Hill, Cisco: The Complete Reference (2002) Uju Buju Suck Another Juju Facts: These are magic words used by professional magician Ali Bongo.
