Demonstrating his strength, a shaman, sorcerer, or other character with magical powers makes the home in which he and others are staying begin to fill up with water. Sometimes it is said that this water is an illusion. One episode: a magician tells those present to take birds or fish that have appeared with the water, or they start catching them on their own initiative; when the water disappears, people see what they are holding in the hands of not caught animals, but your penises or something else.

There are not boots on the stove, but floating ducks. Then Gali Chokry ordered: "Slaughter the ducks!" One of those present quickly grabbed a knife and began to cut off each duck's head one by one. When he finished it, lo and behold: the ducks were gone, and all the boots had their socks cut off. The old people were amazed, groaned, and began to beg Khazret: "How do you do this? Teach us." "To do this, put the carcasses of seven swallows in a sealed container, put the dishes in the stove and steam them," said Gali Chokry"]: Gilyazutdinov 2015, No. 109:120).

Eastern Siberia. Vilyui Yakuts (1920s) [ancient shamans flooded the yurt and filled it with crucian carp; then asked those present to take a knife and peel a few crucian carps; when people took fish and a knife and prepared to clean it, it turned out that There was no water, no crucian carps, and they sat holding a knife with one hand and their penises with the other]: Popov 2008:55; Verkhoyan Yakuts (late 1860s) ["The shaman will then open the door of the yurt and there will be a lot of water in it. In this water, the shaman will throw a net and he will get whitefish. The shaman will grab it with one hand, and the other holds a stick and hits it, then gives the fish to someone from the household. "Tighter, stop well!" , - the shaman will tell him. He holds this white fat fish tightly with both hands to his stomach. But there are a lot of fish in the water released by the shaman, and the shaman will catch so much of it that everyone present will give fish, and they hold it tight like the first. Then the shaman walks, walks around the yurt, sings songs and finally says: "Well, let's fish!" Everyone wants to give him fish, he will see: but there is no fish, but he has a genital organ in his hand (both men and women). That means the shaman fooled everyone. Then the shaman will open the door again: there will be no water or net, and no one will know where it all went"]: Khudyakov 1969:346-347.
