The Zancigs

Julius and Agnes Zancig were American stage magicians and writers on occultism who performed a spectacularly successful two-person mentalism act during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born Julius Jörgensen and Agnes Claussen in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Zancigs managed to fool many spiritualists into believing they had genuine psychic powers. Julius later confessed that their mentalist acts were based on a complex code that they had utilized.
