Update: Someone on flickr pointed me towards her website: http://www.billykiddshow.com/

While walking around Bath this afternoon I stopped to watch this magician perform, she was pretty good. She asked if anyone had seen a magician before (3 ppl put their hands up) then she asked if anyone had seen a female magician (no one put their hands up) and she mentioned a few times she was Canadian. Hence the title.

I took her photo after the show; I wish I got the focus better on her face, but it started to rain (as you should be able to see in the picture) so I was rushing.

During the show I was asked to partake in one of the tricks. I selected a card, well I say selected, it was more that she chose a card for me and wouldn’t let me choose another. I wrote my name on the card and put it back in the pack. She then put the pack in her mouth, not all the way, about 1/3 was still visible. After a few moments pulled out the pack of cards shortly followed by my card folded into four.

She offered me the card as a souvenir, I declined, she offered it again and some German guy shouted “go on” so I did… she then said no one ever takes them; at least it wasn’t still wet.

I got some other pictures, I might post some more of them tomorrow after work.
