Trans magician threatened, forced to cancel shows in Wyoming © Shutterstock Library
A trans women set to perform magic shows at two libraries in Wyoming was forced to cancel the events due to threats from residents.
Mikayla Oz, 24, was going to hold six magic shows in the towns of Gillette and Wright in Wyoming’s northeast corner on Wednesday and Thursday. A well-regarded magician across the Midwest, Oz performed at 43 libraries in just 30 days last month and had 36 appearances scheduled for July, according to the Billings Gazette.
But the shows at Campbell County Public Library and Wright Branch Library were called off after multiple threats were made against Oz and library staff, the organization said in a Facebook post.

Wayne County Public Library s bookmobiles and seven locations are 100 books heavier and that much more informed about America s long and complicated racial history.
From little-known histories to more comprehensive accounts, the Wayne County Racial Justice Coalition, the county s public library system and Buckeye Book Fair partnered to donate some 100 black-themed books for adults and children in an effort to make American history more accessible.
For Susan Roberts, assistant director of the county s library system, the gift of books was enough to pique her interest. We re always interested in expanding our collection, and having a broad range of books available for everybody, Roberts said.
