conjurors
Performers of tricks
Conjurors are people who perform magic tricks or, in older usage, summon spirits through incantation.
The word suggests theatrical illusion—pulling rabbits from hats, making objects disappear—rather than genuine supernatural power.
The conjurors at the fair amazed the children with their sleight of hand.
Also spelled conjurers.
