Her first on stage appearance in magic was in her teens at the famed <i>Mayfair Music Hall<\/i> in Santa Monica, where she transformed from a doll into a living person. While still a teenager, she traveled across the country working major state fairs where she flipped the usual approach to magic. Instead of a magician magically floating her, she breathed in helium, making herself into a human balloon who floated high above the heads of the audience on a stage with no curtains. She also performed one of Harry Houdini&#8217;s signature illusions, Metamorphosis, and was noted by fellow magicians for her amazing speed when she disappeared from inside the locked trunk and instantly appeared on top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">In her twenties, she began doing close-up and strolling magic at restaurants, country clubs, private parties, and for corporate events. She developed a mind reading act. She produced stage shows with several fellow magicians and emceed. She developed a show for children and was invited to perform it at the <i>Magic Castle<\/i> at a special event for the children of <i>Magic Castle<\/i> magician members. She learned to juggle, read tarot cards, and balloon artistry, but passed up the opportunity to learn fire eating when she found out how often people got burned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">She was also very involved in the theater, working behind the scenes. This included working for many years on the annual <i>It&#8217;s Magic!<\/i> show, produced by <i>Magic Castle<\/i> founder Milt Larsen and featuring the greatest magicians from around the world.

When David Copperfield was rehearsing a floating Ferrari effect for an upcoming television special, it was her Mazda that was used in rehearsals since David neither drove nor owned a car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">She married award winning magician and magic designer Geoffrey Williams. Together they founded a magic company manufacturing his and other magicians&#8217; original effects.
