Magic books and the stories they contained weren't constructed or written for people who knew better.
In the early days of Christianity, there were few conversions among the educated, say, members of the Roman Senate. Even Josephus, in his tome on the Roman Jewish wars, while discussing Pontinus Pilate at length, never even mentions Jesus.
