Women in Magic

By , About.com Guide

Magic has long been a male-dominated art. Hear a perspective on the topic from some well known female pros. 

1. Interview With Suzanne

Suzanne

Suzanne is a well known, Minneapolis/St. Paul-based close-up magician. I have often enjoyed watching her shows at Hollywood’s Magic Castle and her routine with the cups and balls is one of my favorites with the well known props.

2. Interview With Krystyn Lambert

This story features comments from Krystyn Lambert. If you caught 2009's “Masters of Illusion” on television, you undoubtedly enjoyed Lambert’s stage magic. Also, her close-up routines were often showcased in the series’ “street magic” segments. I vividly recall the first time I saw her during a “Future Stars of Magic” week at the Magic Castle when she performed as an ethereal fairy. Since that strong first impression, I have enjoyed watching the evolution of her powerful stage magic. Her accomplishments and appearances are far too numerous to list here.

3. Interview With Farrah Siege

In my ongoing series on women in magic, this story offers insights from magician Farrah Siegel. With her amazing skills with yo-yos, whips, batons, hula hoops and more, which she combines with magic into her high energy act, Siegel is an accomplished and entertaining performer.
