Fay Presto | Transgender Woman

Letitia Winter is better known as the magician Fay Presto. She is part of The Inner Magic Circle and is widely known for her prowess for the close-up style of magic. Fay earned a degree of esteem through her career for being part of the Champions of Magic tour. Moreover, the legendary performer traveled and performed across the UK from 2014 until 2007. The act featured the likes of Alex McLear, Edward Hilsum, and Young & Strange.

Before entering the world of magicians, Fay was a lab assistant working for an atomic energy research company. Simultaneously, she tried to finish her formal education while also working in sales. Eventually, she’d find her love for magic, and she’d find her way into The Inner Magic Circle organization. However, as Fay would discover her true self and begin to transition and take hormone therapy, she was shunned by the organization due to their archaic standards. In 1991, The Inner Magic Circle finally voted to favor an equal opportunity for women and recognized them as fellow magicians. Fay would become one of the first women to be welcomed.
