Fay Presto - Illusions of Grandeur
Fay Presto is one of the most sought-after magicians in Britain. At society parties and high-powered functions, she astonishes the good and the great with her close-up magic: making a bottle pass through a table, pushing a cigarette through a pound coin. All in front of your very eyes.
