Interesting. So it's not even a specific aesthetic, just the concept of magicians? I.e. The tuxedo and mustache guy with a top hat and a wand is just as scary as Criss Angel and/or David Blaine?

[random guy on street] tuxedo top hat guy = actual tuxedo top hat magician = david blaine. Any type of magician or perception thereof or association with the idea.

Edit: she is not particularly religious or superstitious either. Her relation to this fear is similar to that of anyone who is extremely uncomfortable/scared of clowns, just a different elememt of the circus.
