    Personally, I like the idea of indicting psychics simultaneously on both charges of fraud and witchcraft. You’re guilty of one or the other. Let the courts figure it out.

      The crime of witchcraft was repealed in the UK in 1951 by the Fraudulent Mediums act. Just change them with deception fraud.
