Carisa Hendrix Magician

Carisa Hendrix Magician and Fire Eater, based in Calgary/ Canada.

Carisa broke the Guinness World Record for “longest duration fire-torch teething” in 2012.

She is a Canadian magician and fire eater known for her performances as Lucy Darling.

Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, she grew up in Calgary and is currently based there. Hendrix is a former art student and model who has been profiled in major press for her role in the rise of female magicians, a field that has historically been male-dominated.

Carisa Hendrix has varying talents, which include not only fire-eating but also barefoot walking on glass, stilt-walking, sleight-of-hand and variations of the “human blockhead” spectacle that can involve, among many other things, sticking scissors up her nose. (this is very scary to watch and is quite dangerous. DO NOT TRY AT HOME).

She has been featured repeatedly at the Melbourne Magic Festival and was named artist-in-residence at the Chicago Magic Lounge for 2019. Hendrix is a regular performer at The Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, where she performs as “Lucy Darling,” a character she partly bases on Dorothy Parker.

Hendrix has won numerous awards, including the Allan Slaight Award and was crowned Stage Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle for two consecutive years. She has also appeared on television shows such as Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Masters of Illusion.

Hendrix’s personal life and backstory have been explored in the documentary “Carisa Hendrix: Girl on Fire,” which premiered on Super Channel in 2016. The documentary traces her life from a troubled and bullied girl growing up in Calgary to her discovery of magic and sideshow performance and her embrace of a polyamorous lifestyle.

Carisa Hendrix has been performing worldwide after winning the Melbourne Magic Festival (Comedy). Best Comedy Show in 2017.

She is performing as “Lucy Darling” and has people wowed.
