Here we have a professional mesmerist known simply by the stage name Z. This is somewhat problematic for the IRS and other government agencies that have tried to discover Z’s past, both because they can’t be sure whether or not he’s filed his taxes recently, or ever, and because there’s a chance this secrecy might be covering up some horrible crime in his past. Also—and I should have probably said this earlier—don’t look too carefully at this photograph, because Z’s powers of suggestion are so strong that it’s been known to reach people through long distances, sometimes resulting in generous donations to Z’s Swiss bank account.
