What makes you think the evil eye isn't real?
Methinks the evil eye is real and darksome.
Luke 11:34-36 The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body also will be darksome. Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus, si oculus tuus fuerit simplex totum corpus tuum lucidum erit, si autem nequam fuerit etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. Vide ergo ne lumen quod in te est tenebrae sint.
If then thy whole body be lightsome, having no part of darkness: the whole shall be lightsome and, as a bright lamp, shall enlighten thee. Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum et sicut lucerna fulgoris inluminabit te .
