Is a wizard liable for civil litigation, having failed to turn a man sufficiently invisible?

I suppose I should check to see in which state this occurred.

1. Well, the man paid for a service that the wizard did not deliver.

2. This leads to several follow up questions

1. If the man needed to rob a bank to get money, how did he manage to come up with the $500 to pay the wizard?

2. Where did the man find a wizard who could cast the spell?

3. Did the man not pass any reflective surfaces on the way to rob the bank?

3. Did he have a contract that the wizard guaranteed he woud be invisable? If not, buyer beware :)

4. And just how are they going to prove that the wizard didn't make the guy invisible? The ...

wizard for all we know could have turned 1/100th of the cells visible to us invisible and of course we couldn't tell the difference. Did the contract include what level of invisibility was to be accomplished?

Crazy. The guy's picture above is enough to make one disappear though...
