Some no account sorcerer had a way to make Qwsp his slave, so we know it's possible.
And getting a leg up on much more powerful beings is what Constantine does.

Sheer power levels? Mxy, of course. But he suffers from horrendous CIS. He's only ever beaten by Supes tricking him, and if the boyscout can outwit him, Con Job would utterly murder him.
Do people seriously not no Mxy and the shit he's accomplish?
For all of Mxy low showings, is because of Pis/Cis. Him losing to alternate Zatanna was pure bullshit. Because we know Mxy's powers are not magic, but a higher level of science.
The whole Mxy saying his name backward crap is another weakness Mxy himself puts on himself to make his ****ing with Kal's life more fun.
Constantine with all the prep, but no Cis/Pis in his side, gets and himself and the whole damn Universe destroys with but a snap from Mxy's fingers.
So we ignore the times the Joker tricked him, Superman tricks him, Superboy tricks him, Lex tricks him..... And suddenly, when he's up against one of the greatest tricksters in comics, this all flies out the window?
He explicitly does not use his full powers for evil means, and you're now turning him into essentially Emperor Joker?
This took place directly after the Adventures of Superman story where Mxy was weakened to a point where he was almost killed (hell, the following issue stated as such). So he was weakened from that point on.
...Also, personally, i also believe that it could have been an alternate version. There isn't sufficient evidence to confirm it, but there are small implications, some pre-crisis elements, which i realized. But im not going to get into it.

CIS is part of Mxy's character though. The reason he usually loses is because he's kind of a dumbass. If John has this much prep and Mxy is in character Constantine can take it.
Yeah, when all's said and done, Constantine may well have his own personal genie. And he won't need to cut him with the bones of an old god, like what happened to Qwsp in JSA.
