Musicians offered ‘crossroads pact with the Devil’ <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A voodoo practitioner from Norwich is auctioning his services on eBay
\n to help musicians gain fame by making a pact with the Devil at the
\n crossroads. <\/p>\n

Doktor Snake says he has made the pact himself (before he got a publishing
\n deal) just like 1930s bluesman Robert Johnson reputedly did. <\/p>\n

He says he will also provide a "genuine Devil’s contract," which
\n will serve as a binding agreement between the musician and the Lord of
\n Darkness. <\/p>\n
