Psychic Block Defense would work for some of these, but if a character achieves the impossible (i.e. tricks the "omniscient" psychic), that's Beyond the Impossible. Also see Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?
Pulling a fast one on someone's Psychic Powers through intentional amnesia, manipulating how deeply they get probed, or orcastrating misleading events, etc. specifically tricking people with telepathy or clairvoyance. Which are power that nominally should be impossible to deceive.
Related to Not So Omniscient After All, but the examples I have in mind do not fall under that.
