Magic and sexism shouldn't mix. Don Daring, the outspoken illusionist, won't stop harassing Leah and her troupe-mates before Aga-Pay Circus's opening night in Washington, D.C. One of Leah's fellow acrobats might be bulimic (at least that's what the rumors say), and Don is quick to capitalize on another's struggle.
