Alyx Hilshey was a featured magician on Penn & Teller: Fool Us Season 10, episode 18.

She performed sleight of hand magic with fragile, buttery, gritty crackers that are 1/4" larger than silver dollars. During rehearsal, one cracker spontaneously shattered. The anxiety of working such moves with such fragile crackers was terrifying to her, and she has not eaten a cracker since. :-)

As a lifelong student of magic she tried to include three subtle homages to three magicians that have influenced her greatly. See if you can spot (or hear) these "Easter Eggs."

Her last words before exiting the stage were to Penn & Teller, to whom she said, "this was the honor of my life." It was an understatement. :-)

Alyx performed on the episode with Jason and Stacey Alan, Markobi, and Louis Olmedo.
