Independent project, Fall 2021
Project description:
Crafted an original magic act, with the story arc centered around unique, novel magic effects I designed and built that played with the concept of turning playing cards into a simple piece of paper. At age 16, I performed the act on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and fooled the dynamic duo, making me the youngest female to earn the coveted Fool Us trophy.
