The Magic Circle, a renowned organization for magicians in Britain, has officially readmitted Sophie Lloyd. Lloyd's journey with the society began in 1991 when she successfully disguised herself as a man to gain membership, a time when the Magic Circle had strict gender limitations. Her deception was eventually discovered, leading to her expulsion.
Over the past year, the Magic Circle reevaluated its stance and initiated a search for Lloyd. On Thursday, they announced her return, signaling a significant shift in the organization's policies. The readmission acknowledges Lloyd's skills as a magician and her persistence in the face of adversity. This decision marks a step toward greater inclusivity within the Magic Circle and the broader magic community.
