An Egypt born law student Harrith bin Khalah, about 27, explains a Cairo trick calledEltangeem. By using birth dates, father or mother’s birth and alphabet letter values a name can be deduced. He claims no real magic, just quick calculation and astronomy knowledge. The piece notes belief in stars influences, while science dismisses such astrology.
