Hello everyone! I can't believe I forgot to introduce myself to the Cafe! I'm hanging my head in shame!



Well, for those of you who don't already know who I am, in the magic circle where I live, I'm known as "that crazy magic lady." A title I wear with honor! Besides, what sane person would own her own straitjacket? Oh, wait, that's another board...sorry!



Seriously, in magic, I am involved in parlor and stage stuff. I am actively promoting an American Flag show I have. It has taken me three and a half years of working on this show to get it the way I want it.



I dabble in close up a little, but do no coin work and know two card tricks. In addition to magic, I am also an escape artist. I'm still fairly new into escapes, about three/four years into it. I do own a straitjacket, mailbag, about a dozen pair of handcuffs, six pair of thumbcuffs, leg-irons, and something called the Death Device (you just gotta see that). I also do rope and chain escapes.



I try as best I can to keep the magic and escapes separate because I have two different performance personas...one for the escapes, and one for the magic.



So, now, does anyone have any doubt now as to why I'm called "that crazy magic lady?"

Welcome crazy magic lady!

Great to have you with us

Always good to see you post Margarette, Welcome to the Cafe!

Here is an official welcome though you've been here and quite involved for a while



Great to have you, your expertise, red leather shorts, and your CFM's here



I still don't believe the crazy part. When are you going to come to California and prove it



See you on the boards,



Tom

Ditto on the "official" welcome,

Hi Margarette,



Let me ask you something: a few years ago I ran into a woman at Tannens in New York trying on Straight Jackets. Was that you. I know she said she was from out of town.

A belated welcome aboard, Margarette.

So, you say, you only know two card tricks.

I wish other magicians could say that!

cheers,

Hey Peter, most magicians only know two card tricks. sadly they try to do hundreds.

........and fail miserably
