Marvin Berglas, the society’s president, expressed a heartfelt desire to extend a welcome to the once-ostracized performer. As The Magic Circle celebrates its long history since its establishment in 1905, it stands out for including famous illusionists like David Copperfield and Criss Angel among its ranks. The club had historically restricted memberships to men until women like Jenny Winstanley championed the idea of equality in magic, pushing the boundaries and expectations of their craft.
“Seeing her courageous act of joining showed that women can be magicians just as effectively as men,” Winstanley remarked in a past interview. The society now aims to make amends for its previous exclusion of women through this initiative, recognizing the importance of diversity in the magic industry.
The ongoing search encapsulates a blend of nostalgia and newfound efforts toward inclusivity within the arts, as The Magic Circle wishes to honor its past and pave the way for a more welcoming future.
With this move, The Magic Circle hopes to rewrite history and celebrate the contributions of all magicians, regardless of gender.
