ELI5:Why is fraud a crime but being a 'psychic' not a crime

I know that people can't get everything right all the time but isn't it probable that a lot of people advertising as psychics or fortune tellers are just scamming others?

EDIT: ok so i guess to sum it all up, being a 'psychic' or a 'reader' isn't technically fraud in most place because the small print, informing people that it's only for entertainment purposes, covers their asses in a legal sense. Whether you think this is ethical or not, is entirely up to you but thanks to everyone who contributed :)

They generally get around fraud law by using phrases such as 'for entertainment purposes only'.  While they're clearly presenting the image that they can talk to dead people, or find missing persons, they cover themselves with legal technicalities.
