Featuring Paul F. Tompkins as Doyle and Robert Evans as Houdini. I know, right?

Wait, are we really going to pretend that this an unbiased take, attacking a man as a shit stirrer who was tired of bs and siding with people who trick those who are vulnerable. I mean I get it he was mean, but they were literally taking money on falsehoods with many of them having cult ambitions and low view of everyone around them. It's your world, but this is people using slight of hand to justify racism and classism. Very strange premise.
