They say this town is full of cozenage,
As nimble jugglers that deceive the eye,
Drug-working sorcerers that change the mind,
Soul-killing witches that deform the body,
And many such like libertines of sin. William Shakespeare.The weakness of the power of witches upon kings and magistrates may be ascribed to the weakness of imagination; for it is hard for a witch or a sorcerer to put on a belief that they can hurt such. Francis Bacon, Natural History.
He saw a sable sorcerer arise,
All sudden gorgon’s hiss and dragon’s glare,
And ten horn’d fiends. Alexander Pope.The Egyptian sorcerers contended with Moses; but the wonders which Moses wrought did so far transcend the power of magicians, as made them confess it was the finger of God. Isaac Watts, Logick.

Sorcerer
Sorcerer is a 1977 American existential adventure thriller film directed and produced by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou. It is the second adaptation of the 1950 French novel Le Salaire de la peur by Georges Arnaud. It has been widely considered a remake of the 1953 French film The Wages of Fear, the first adaptation of the novel, however Friedkin has eschewed this notion. Recently, numerous outlets, such as American Cinematheque began to perceive it as a standalone film and opposed the "remake" label. Originally conceived as a side-project to Friedkin's next major film, The Devil's Triangle. Initially planned as a 2.5 million dollar movie, during its production the budget became earmarked at 15 million and eventually escalated to $22 million, which was more than double of Star Wars's. The film gained mixed-to-negative critical reception upon its release, and the domestic gross of $9 million did not recoup its costs. The film expenses required a co-production by Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, with the former handling the U.S. distribution and the latter being responsible for the international release.
The Roycroft Dictionary
sorcerer
1. Any one who can make the people of the United States believe they rule. 2. A juggler (hence the founder of any religious, political or philosophical system).
