New (Temporary) Series: Better Know Your Carnies

In recognition to a heinously lazy Henchman and for others interested, a small diversion into a series called;

Your state fairs will be starting soon, and you may encounter these people. You might even hire a ghostly magician as a henchman...

Carnies may be Circus Folk, but are not to be confused with Gypsies (the Roma), Vagrants, Roustabouts, Hooligans, Hobos, Scary Vagabonds, Migrating Criminals, or Misguided Party Clowns.
