Magician who pretended to be a man given Magic Circle membership

80% Informative
Sophie Lloyd disguised herself as a man to fool examiners into letting her join the elite society in 1991 .
She invented a new identity - Raymond Lloyd - and spent about two years studying the character.
When the Circle announced it was permitting women to join later that year , Ms Lloyd revealed her deception prompting the society to expel her at the very same meeting it admitted its first female magicians.
The society has now apologised to Ms Lloyd and is presenting her with a membership certificate on Thursday evening .
