Woman who is so good at magic that she qualified for an all-male elite club, without them realising she wasn’t a man, reveals the deception only to be immediately expelled. Three decades on, the Magic Circle have finally got over their tantrum and readmitted her.

  1. I think the headline might have been editorialised by OP…

  2. Unfortunately she did not have the right genitalia to enter the “magic circle”

  3. Imagine being a magical zany magician man and being like “hyeah, no girls allowed!!!”

  5. Is it her ability to disguise or is it the all male magic circle’s inability to recognise a woman?

  6. >When the Circle announced it was permitting women to join later that year, Ms Lloyd revealed her deception, prompting the society to expel her at the very same meeting it admitted its first female magicians.

    Wow, the Magic Circle was even more pathetic and petty than it first sounded.

  7. Surely a magician would respect the misdirect of that, like a trick within a trick?

    Nope, they re all neckbeards? Well colour me surprised.

  9. Pretty sure the magic circle isn’t that elite considering my step dad was in that and he takes up a new hobby every other month. Pretty sure his magic kit is in the cupboard under the stairs next to his telescope, his beekeeper’s outfit, and his scuba diving gear.

  10. History is full of people or groups having tantrums over inclusivity, usually involving an overwhelming sense of pride or insecurity.

    Some might say it was just different back then, but let’s be honest, it was just as unfair even at that time, and the people who objected to such treatment didn’t have the power necessary for their voices to be heard.

  11. I thought…. They finally allowed women in but were unable to get in contact with the lass who tricked them to offer her membership again?

  12. They didn’t want her to join in on their weekly orgy because a woman would ruin their fun or something like that
    /s

  14. TIL the magic circle didn’t used to admit women. Changes my opinion of them tbh.

  16. I would have been salty as hell and publicly revealed all of their tricks to spite them.

  17. The first time those dweebs meet a woman that’s interested in their weird hobby and they expel her.

  18. Women are more suited to herbology and witchcraft, wizardry is men’s work.

  19. To quote Limmy “Groucho Marx once said any club that’ll have me as a member can get tae fu*k”

  20. I always liked the fact that the Magic Circle refused to allow in Penn & Teller in because they didn’t keep their methods secret but Penn & Teller didn’t care an kept revealing the secrets and in doing so became probably the most famous magicians in the world.

    They sound like a right bunch of stuffed shirts.

  22. They finally levelled up to the disappearing penis trick 💪🏼
