Eileen McFalls is the author of No Ordinary Magic, a memoir about her adventures street performing with Jim Cellini. After meeting this charismatic street performer, Eileen stepped into his world of magic without hesitation. But she was still in search of herself when she fell under his spell and into this outsider culture that was foreign to her.
Eileen McFalls has lived and traveled extensively as a busker, club owner, medical technologist, and graphic designer. Currently, she is working on writing projects and as a guest speaker for podcasts, magic groups, and book clubs. She resides in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Jim Cellini (Richard Sullivan from Nashua, NH) developed and performed his unique brand of street busking throughout North America and Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. Cellini’s signature routines featured the Cups and Balls, Linking Rings and Rope Magic – all performed in renaissance attire and gibecière. He died in 2009 while living in Switzerland.
