INTRODUCTION By Hal Meyers My friend Belinda … Wow, I’ve known Belinda Sinclair for 30+ years. We’re friends, who knew each other, never hung out or session’d, but I saw her everywhere, performing gigs I was at such as Macy’s Magic, visiting Magic Shops (Tannens/Mecca Magic), magicians gatherings (it can happen), Mostly Magic, Monday Night Magic … … and most magicians have no idea who she is, what she does, where she works, how she got mentioned in the NY Times or articles in other periodicals …… Belinda has been part of the New York Magic Scene for years, she has remained “under the radar” - always doing something, performing somewhere, even appearing at FISM on the same bill with Tommy Wonder, Lennart Greene, Tony Bineralli and Michael Vincent, gigging for high society, or modeling, or directing, or acting, or producing … again under the radar. She hung out with New York’s finest magicians, observing then applying incredible sleight-of-hand, yes, Belinda’s got chops, and a magic knowledge formulated from years of reading magic books from her extensive library.
