In this episode, Jess takes the helm as the gang explores the life of Claude “Alexander” Conlin - Early 20th century magician, spiritualist, and “Master of Mentalism”. Cloaked as a mystic, Alexander dazzled audiences with his so-called psychic abilities, but behind the scenes, he led a turbulent life marked by failure fraud, and a scandalous love life. Tune in for the wild story of one of Vaudeville’s most successful act.
