Ag The Arizona Republic Friday, July 19, 1991 Fugitive in 'psychic surgery9 hoax seized Valley woman had been at large for years Magno then will be ordered to Arizona and the custody of the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office. The Attorney General's Office will prosecute on 17 counts of fraudulent Philippines after a March 1990 rebroadcast of the Unsolved Mysteries television show that led to the arrest of Tizon. Kristi Riggins, director of the Arizona Health Care Cost Control System's fraud-control unit, said that Terry Magno will be arraigned today before a federal magistrate in Los Angeles on the charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI initiated that charge and had her passport revoked. By Gall Tabor The Arizona Republic A woman who fled Arizona after she, and her husband were charged with running a "psychic surgery" hoax on desperately ill people has been arrested in the Philippines.

Terry Magno and her husband, Gary, charged patients in Phoenix and Tucson $50 to $75 a visit for removing cancerous tumors without a knife, investigators said when the couple were arrested in 1986. At the time of their arrest, police found a plastic pouch in Gary Magno's waistband containing vials of surgery, and a "tumor" resembling a chicken liver was shown, Jones said. After the "surgery," Jones said he was rubbed down with oil, and a wet rag was used to wipe off the "blood." At the time of the arrest, officers found an appointment list containing 100 names of people scheduled for "surgery." Chris Magno Tizon, nephew of Gary, also was arrested. After posting bail, the three fled. Tizon was arrested in November 1989, after an Unsolved Mysteries broadcast on the threesome.

Tizon pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against the couple, saying in a statement that the surgery was a sleight-of-hand trick in which Gary Magno used liquid and animal tissue to make it appear that he removed tumors from patients. The couple were traced to the truck driver Randy Jones was quoted as saying that Magno believed he didn't need a scalpel to perform miracles. Jones informed authorities about Magno because Jones' family was spending large amounts of money at the couple's clinic. Jones told a reporter he was given a release to sign and told not to take a bath immediately after surgery be cause that would "mess up the spiritual powers." He said he was told to disrobe down to his underwear, given a bathrobe to put on, and then taken to the operating room. After being told to lie down on a table, he was given a cross to hold.

"And then he starts feeding material out of the 'hole' (in the stomach)" that Magno made with a finger, Jones said.
