Although they have been popularized in media and common folklore, the "genie in the lamp" is entirely fictional. There was actually even a magic ring which doesn't get as much mention.
Written many years ago as a tale in the book "One Thousand and One Nights/The Arabian Nights" by Sir Richard Burton, it tells the story of AlÄʼ ad-DÄ«n,who we now call Aladdin, as a poor boy in China who is tricked by a man he believes is a long lost relative, in fact an evil sorceror, who needs the lamp for his own evil purposes. Aladdin was forced to gather the lamp from a magical cave which was promised to him to hold his long lost families treasure. While rubbing his hands together nervously, on his hand was a magic ring which caused a djinni to appear. Later at home as his mother polished the lamp, she caused a more powerful djinni to appear who out of gratitude for being freed, would grant three wishes.
People have held onto this fantasy for years since and "wished" it to be true. Unfortunately, it only exists on t.v. commercials, in movies, and in books.
