Intent on enchantment: Magician Misty Lee..

Nice interview by James M Keller for the New Mexican with Misty Lee, one of our favorite theatrical magic performers and staff séance medium in the Houdini Room at the Magic Castle..

Pasatiempo: As the séance medium at the Magic Castle, you should be in a position to know: Is the Magic Castle haunted?

Misty Lee: Of course it is! I mean, you’re asking the person who does the ghost show there, right? It’s not just haunted; it is truly enchanted. Houdini’s actual straitjacket hangs above me as I perform, and his wand is to my right…..
