It would be better to miss it than to be a partaker of it..... (Joe)

In conclusion, Simon or Simon Magus was an illusionist; he lived by magic trade to amaze his countrymen and boasted that he was someone great. But when his followers saw Philip’s real power, they left him. After rejecting by Peter, Simon (not Philip) turned to satanic forces in order to win back his followers and this is confirmed by Justin Martyr’s writings in the post-apostolic days. Not only Simon progressed from an illusionist to a black magician, but also became a father of all Gnostic heresies.
