'Box Jumpers' if you want the technical term :-) Mostly ex dancers or gymnasts.
I don't really know many illusionists, although I've built props for one - his wife is called Tracey, not Sharon. Once built a prop for Joe Pasquale, but he works alone.
Would that be for Versal National?
Is she fit ?

Well, not always
..especially for one type of stage show
Hence the tutus.
There you go you see.
Typically it's organisations who haven't yet outsourced to Mumbai or who have and have brought it back having given up on the idea.
Fit for what?
Very - and she has a genuine nurses uniform..........
Its a latch not a lock, mortices are somewhat harder , look and learn:
Aye, and just think of some of the stuff that will have been splattered on that ...
Owain
And not on the ward either...
Oh I say...
What have I started ?

You're not wrong there. I have a set of picks and a book, but have never managed to get even simple Yale style locks open.
Easy way, assuming not a security door.
Hammer, piece of wood app 1 in dia. Wood on barrel. Hit wood, knock lock off back of door.
Does require a little making good afterwards though.
A pal of mine who used to repair council-house doors once showed me. Get the claw of a claw-hammer under the edge of the cylinder (the softish escutcheon makes this easy really), then tear out the cylinder. The fixing screw heads will pull through the back-plate. Then you can insert a screwdriver into the slot in the lock and easily open the door. Does anybody still use Yale-type locks? Insurance companies don't recognise them as secure nowadays.
They do if you use the BS approved ones. These have additional fixing points, are more solid, have anti-pick pins, and have an automatic deadlock system.
I was buying a lock today at my local 'proper lock place, where they know what they are on about, & charge less than B&Q'.
Asked the bloke how much they charge for picking a Yale type lock. £55 call out. No labour, too quick to measure apparently, matter of minutes. They have been around for 45 years + mind.
