Jesse Lee Boland either was a gifted psychic or a charismatic charlatan. His reputation fluctuated wildly, depending on the satisfaction of his clients or his latest newsmaking exploit.
Known to most Richmonders as "Master X," Boland fascinated area residents for the 25 years he practiced his personal brand of magic, blended with a little science and psychology, at a downtown Richmond shop. Fake, genuine or a mix of the two,
Boland knew how to command attention.
