Female Magicians

"Wow!... To compile the information and then present them in such a professional manner - Excellent!" -JADE

Female magicians? You mean there's women out there who actually perform magic professionally? Yes - and they are gradually multiplying like bunnies from a hat.

There are approximately 50 full time women magicians in the world.

Women overall are a minority of the magicians who perform today.

For centuries, men have run the gamut in the world of magic. Historically, women have been the magician's assistant;

pushing props on and off stage, getting shoved into boxes, being implemented in a myriad of torture devises, dancing and often, making the magic work while the magician gets the applause.

Now the shoe's on the other foot. However, instead of wingtips they are high heel pumps! Women magicians, also known as magiciannes, now have men do their bidding.

They are sawing men in half, producing exotic animals and performing dangerous escape acts.

Many magicians' wives have done their share on stage, but almost always as assistants.

Today, husband and wife teams like the Pendragons, Jonathan and Charlotte, share the applause, working as a team to create some of the grandest of illusions.
