Like a vaudeville show, the performers appear in a series of acts that confuse, confound and perplex their followers, and create ethical issues for laymen, researchers, and magicians.

This assemblage is a potpourri of remarkable characters whole talents, skills, performance styles, personalities, and approaches vary greatly. For want of a better term, they are The Mind Readers, and they are Masters of Deception.
