Misty Lee is a renowned professional magician and illusionist. She was born April 22nd, in Mt. Clemens, Michigan during a tornado warning. She is skilled in and performs all aspects of magic, including sleight of hand, parlor magic, and grand illusion.

Rare enough as a female in a male-dominated field, she is best known for her stunning illusions, which include making a Corvette appear from thin air. She couples her charming and lovable personality with her beautiful singing voice to present "magical musical theatre", a unique way of presenting magic that incorporates acting, storytelling, singing, and dancing, and is rare even in modern times. This unusual combination has helped her forge her name in the magic community.
