A long time ago, I was in a all night sleezy cafe somewhere in central London. I sat with Fay along with another dyke and a raging queen. We were met with nasty stares, comments etc, the usual fare for a very drunk crowd the wee hours of a Saturday night/Sunday morning. Within minutes she was doing tricks, making salt disappear out of salt shakers, hankies disappear and reappear and other light cafe tricks. The whole place was enthralled. She received a standing ovation. I always knew she had talent and that it was missed by the world at large. She is/was so very talented. Didn't she get booted out of the magician's club because it was men only and she was no longer a man?
Sorry no serious discussion, just a trip down memory lane.
