Trickster/Imposter
Could you please tell me the difference between 'Trickster' and 'Imposter' with example?
I have read somewhere that 'A person who tries to deceive people by claiming to be able to do wonderful things' is called 'Trickster' but am unable to differentiate from 'Imposter'.

Nakool 'A person who tries to deceive people by claiming to be able to do wonderful things' That seems very limiting. I would call an impostor one kind of trickster: Trickster: a person who cheats or deceives people. Impostor: a person who practices deception under an assumed character, identity, or name .
