Meet the Johns, a Romani family steeped in honor, living by their own rules and traditions whilst trying to run their shop for psychics in New York.

Not unlike its British counterpart, American Gypsies sparked some extreme reactions among audiences when it aired in the States last year. Producer Ralph Maccio (who played the original Karate Kid) said: "The family wanted their story out there, and I just found it too fascinating not to help find an outlet for it."
