    I guess that’s true. But if I sold you a license to perform spells and incantations, and you obviously never successfully do, is that fraud?

      I would say it depends on the presentation and point. Are you a board game store selling it as a fun thing? A white elephant gift store? A cute gift shop in Salem? Yea, sell it all day.

      A horoscope reader upselling it to brainwashed idiots, literally trying to convince them it works? … Yea, that’s fraud. Might not be fraud you could get them found guilty of, since so many laws require a “reasonable person” to fall for it, but we all know there aren’t actually that many “reasonable” people…
