I seem to recall reading about fraudulent alchemists would would roam the towns of Europe using slight-of-hand and other magician-style tricks to demonstrate their "power" and then swindle people out of their money. Magic is always a crowd pleaser. Beyond that, the serious alchemists were just people who wanted to be scientists but didn't quite know how. You can get more from Google/Wikipedia/your local library.
