Carisa Hendrix is a Canada-based magician and fire eater who often performs in the persona of Lucy Darling.
Hendrix was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan[1] and grew up in Calgary[1] where she is currently based.
[4] She has been profiled in major press numerous times on the rise of ‘the female magician” [5][6] because the field of magic has historically been male-dominated[7] and female magicians are considered “extremely rare.”[8] She has been featured repeatedly at the Melbourne Magic Festival.
[10][11] She is a regular performer at The Magic Castle, in Hollywood, California, where she performs as “Lucy Darling,” a sharp-tongued magician character she partly bases on Dorothy Parker.
[6] In 2012, she set the Guinness World Record[12] for how long she could hold a lit torch in her mouth, a feat that was featured in both the Guinness Book of World Records in 2014, and Ripley's Believe it or Not in 2015.
