conjurers
Masters of illusion
Conjurers are people who perform magic tricks or, in older usage, summon spirits through incantation.
The word carries theatrical associations—a conjurer pulls rabbits from hats, makes cards appear and vanish: The conjurer amazed the children at the party.
In fantasy contexts, conjurers summon creatures or objects through supernatural power.
