Taking Friends to the Magic Castle

So we were there Wednesday, with friends recently returned from the East Coast. This week's Featured performer was "Cashetta, Queen of Magic." Cashetta has her own show in Vegas called "Magic's a Drag." Now I am fascinated by how a person figures out that what they need to be doing is magic while in drag. She was splendidly theatrical, and quite a solid magician (magicienne?) and a great pleasure to watch. Her presentation as a woman added another...what? "interpretive layer?" to the act, and I enjoyed that. One of the pleasures of magic is the twists and turns and depths of the illusions.
