Billy Kidd in the Globe and Mail
From The Globe and Mail:
The name is Billy Kidd, only she’s not a kid or even an outlaw. She’s one of the very few women who perform magic tricks instead of acting as the male magician’s lovely assistant.
Born in Edmonton, now based outside of London, Ms. Kidd is so good at her craft she has been featured on the Discovery and Syfy channels, and entertains throughout Europe, Asia and Japan. She found her inspiration several years ago watching a street magician in Edmonton.
As much as she enjoyed the magic, it was the crowd’s reaction that resonated with Ms. Kidd.

Behind the scenes at Wizard Wars
Also, go to Ellen Fox's website to find out which Canadian wizard has ink that reads "There is no hocus pocus"?
Three years ago Justin Flom and I hosted the first-ever "Wizard War" in a 2-bedroom apartment a block of the Vegas Strip. Against all odds, we parlayed it into a show on Syfy. (As a diehard Face Off fan, Syfy was always my #1 choice.) And against all further odds, they picked us up for more episodes.

Wizard Wars episode 4 (with Billy Kidd) recap
You can watch Episode Four, "Blown Away" at Space.
From Liberty Voice:
From Liberty Voice:
After the calculator in the balloon trick, Kidd mentioned that being Canadian meant that she loved maple syrup, a container of which had been sitting on the stage in front of a trashcan since the act’s beginning. Giving the bottle of sealed syrup to wizard Gregory Wilson, who confirmed that it was sealed, she and Leon began their finish.
Taking four leaves, Leon asked Penn & Teller to sign one of them and he then put all four in the leaf blower to be ejected so that Billy could skewer the autographed leaf with a single chopstick. This did not work and the payoff was that the object was in the sealed bottle of syrup. Cue real excitement from not just the audience but the judges and wizards as well.

Edmonton: Billy Kidd at SkirtsAfire
From the Edmonton Journal:
Many of the festival’s headliners have already been discovered. They include Edmonton singer-songwriter Colleen Brown, and Billy Kidd, a born-in-Edmonton magician who has performed across Canada, Japan, the U.K. and Portugal. The four-day festival kicks off Thursday, March 7, with a live performance by singer-songwriter Maria Dunn, who weaves songs and video into a ballad that tells the story of the immigrant women who worked at the GWG factory over its 93-year history.

Review: Zodiac Arrest
From the Edmonton Journal:
In the course of diverse entertainments, you will see a pert magician (Billy Kidd) in a fedora escape from a straitjacket, while cheerfully baiting her male audience “volunteer.” A rare example of a “lady magician,” Billy Kidd, the onstage persona of Gia Felicitas, is an ironic take on the fast-talking, masculine norm.

Billy Kidd's international press on The Magic of Science
From Focus Taiwan:
From Rappler:
Taipei, Jan. 25 (CNA) Canadian magician Billy Kidd astounded a Taipei audience Friday with a routine of science-based tricks during an event to promote a new TV series that purports to "fuse science with magic."
Kidd demonstrated several routines, including how to pick up a glass full of rice with a knife and command a straw to spin, to the awe of some 300 magic fans and children.

From Rappler:
MANILA, Philippines - Female magicians are a rare species. Gorgeous Canadian half-Pinay magicians are even rarer.
But that’s precisely who Gia Anne-Marie Felicitas aka “Billy Kidd” is.
If I hadn’t been told she was a magician, I would not have suspected it. With her Eurasian features (that would not look out of place on a magazine cover), her edgy jet black bob, and black Doc Martens, Billy Kidd looked like some artsy chick at best.
But her large eyes that glinted with mischief told all.
The 30-year-old illusionist was in Manila last January 23 for the launch of her new show on Discovery Channel, “The Magic of Science.” The 9-part series follows Billy and 3 other (hot) young magicians as they perform street magic in New York, Warsaw, and London.

Discovery wants to save Breaking Magic for the new year which means it will not air Nov 11th. Disappointing, but this is good news.
