Tony Agpaoa
Antonio C. Agpaoa (1939-1982) most well known as Tony Agpaoa was a Filipino practitioner of psychic surgery.
He worked in Manila. It was alleged that Agpaoa could remove tissue from the body of patients without making an incision.〔Moore, Brooke Noel; Parker, Richard. (1979). ''Critical Thinking: Evaluating Claims and Arguments in Everyday Life''. Mayfield Publishing. p. 179. ISBN 978-0874848410〕 However, magicians and skeptics were convinced his feats were the result of conjuring tricks.〔Carroll, Robert Todd. (2003). ''The Skeptic's Dictionary: A Collection of Strange Beliefs, Amusing Deceptions, and Dangerous Delusions''. Wiley. p. 314. ISBN 0-471-27242-6 〕〔Neher, Andrew. (2011). ''Paranormal and Transcendental Experience: A Psychological Examination''. Dover Publications. p. 171. ISBN 0-486-26167-0 "Tony Agpaoa, the most popular of the psychic surgeons, has several times been detected in trickery."〕
In 1968, Agpaoa was arrested and charged for fraud in the United States for pretending to mend a bone in a patients neck.〔Nickell, Joe. (1993). ''Looking for a Miracle: Weeping Icons, Relics, Stigmata, Visions & Healing Cures''. Prometheus Books. p. 160. ISBN 1-57392-680-9 "Antonio "Dr. Tony" Agpaoa who, in late 1968, was arrested in San Francisco. A month later, on December 19, he was indicted by a Detroit grand jury on a charge of fraud in foreign commerce. The indictment stemmed from a Michigan steelworker's 1966 visit to Manila, where Agpaoa pretended to mend fractured bones in the man's neck. Later X-rays, however, revealed the bones were as before although the man (briefly relieved of pain by suggestion) had believed himself healed."〕 American surgeon William A. Nolen has written "According to the A.M.A. he had separated hundreds of patients from their life savings and had cured no one."〔Nolen, William A. (1974). ''Healing a Doctor in Search of a Miracle''. Random House. p. 24. ISBN 0-394-49095-9〕
Magician James Randi has noted that Agpaoa had his own appendix removed from a hospital in San Francisco, instead of visiting a psychic surgeon.〔Randi, James. (1982). ''The Truth About Uri Geller''. Prometheus Books. p. 182. ISBN 0-87975-199-1 "Tony Agpaoa, one of the wealthiest men in the Philippines as a result of his quackery, had his own appendix removed — in San Francisco, in a real hospital."〕
