Since she had small hands, she had to develop sleights and handlings differently from husband. She is credited with the "tiptilt" sleight for vanishing an unit cigarette.
About 1905, L'Homme Masque bought a wine farm at Bordeaux, to which he and his wife retired.
She eventually died, nearly blind, in the insane asylum "Saint-Pons," in Nice.
