Whether they're youngsters or grown-ups, magic has audiences transfixed the world over.
Yet although the doors of the magician's society, "The Magic Circle", have been open to women for several decades, this realm remains patriarchal - as American performer Kayla Drescher, set to grace the stage at Los Angeles' Magic Castle, points out.
Whilst historically playing " the glamorous sidekick" before spectators, Drescher maintains that women have resembled a prop, functioning like a mere lamp or table.
Nevertheless, the entertainer recognises the value of being in close proximity to an expert, providing an ideal vantage point from which to master the skills.
With her own role more in line with tradition, Mari-Lynn entertains her spellbound audiences with obvious relish, supporting her magician husband John alongside their daughters, Jasmine and Haylie.
Since both girls have demonstrated considerable flair for the art and the performance, John fails to see why discrimination against women magicians abounds.
Women magicians won't just vanish into thin air.
