A woman, who tricked her way into the Magic Circle by pretending to be a man more than 30 years ago, has finally been allowed back into the famous society.
Back in 1991, Sophie Lloyd pulled off the ultimate illusion by fooling the Magic Circle, which at the time banned women, into thinking she was a man.
She created a teenage alter-ego called Raymond Lloyd, and said "it took months of preparation" to secretly infiltrate the Circle’s ranks half a year before it would officially vote to let women in.
