I just uploaded a contemporary book on the subject, don't know if it's good or not. You find references to the Evil Eye here and there in books, mostly on connection with amulets or other means of magical protection. I briefly wondered why nobody has yet explained how to actively cast the Evil Eye instead of merely passively protecting against it until I remembered this passage from Peter J. Caroll's "Liber Null & Psychonaut":
The legend of the evil-eye derives from the ability of wizards and sorcerers to give a fixed dead stare. This ability can be practiced against any object — a mark on a wall, something in the distance, a star in the night sky — anything. To hold an object with an absolutely fixed, unwavering gaze for more than a few moments proves extraordinarily difficult, yet it must be persisted in for hours at a time. Every attempt by the eye to distort the object, every attempt by the mind to find something else to think of, must be resisted.
However, these instructions are part of his "Object Concentration" exercises belonging to his preparatory program (what we would call "groundwork" today) including meditation, breathing, etc. and are not designed to develop 'optical curse abilities'.
