Who Is Lucy Darling?

Lucy Darling is the stage persona of Carisa Hendrix, a Canadian magician, comedian, and variety artist who has taken the entertainment world by storm. Inspired by the wisecracking socialite characters from Hollywood’s Golden Age—think Mae West, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Dorothy Parker—Lucy is a glamorous cocktail enthusiast whose shows blend powerful visual magic, playful improvised banter, beautiful sleight-of-hand, and award-winning comedy.

Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, in 1987, Hendrix grew up in Calgary and discovered magic while watching a David Copperfield special with her father. After being kicked out of her home at 16, she taught herself fire eating, stilt walking, glass walking, and sleight-of-hand to make a living. That resourcefulness and determination transformed into an internationally acclaimed career that has earned Hendrix coverage in major media as a trailblazer in the historically male-dominated field of magic.
