She was born Honey Bee Finberg on February 12, 1914 in New Orleans, Louisiana, the daughter of Abraham Lincoln Finberg, a traveling performer and stage manager of theatrical stock companies who performed under the name “The Great Brandoni,” and Helen English Finberg. She had three brothers: Nils, Bill and Don.
A member of Parent Assembly No. 1, Society of American Magicians, she first became interested in magic at an early age. At age 16, she headlined a theater tour across the U.S. with her brother Nils as dance duo “Bunny and Honey Bee.” She married starting theatrical agent Jack Hirsk in 1931, which led to work at top venues for major agencies like William Morris and Music Corporation of America.
At 19, Brandon appeared as a nightclub performer in the movie I Hate Women (1934) and headlined in the vaudeville “That Gorgeous Blond Deceiver” in 1936. She appeared at the Tivoli Theatre in Melbourne, Australia in the show “Ladies First,” an All-Girl-Show that included magic. Billed as “The First Lady in Magic,” she became the first female magician to be televised, appearing on BBC London and stations across Paris and New York.
In the 1950s she appeared on stage at New York’s Palace Theater on Broadway and began experimenting with a longer one woman show, switching to being a full-time pioneer woman in hypnosis in 1953. She billed herself as “The World’s Greatest Hypnotist” and created a sensation, drawing tens of thousands of admissions all over the U.S., appearing on TV shows such as NBC’s “Coke Time” with Eddie Fisher, and on “Long John” Nebel’s radio program entitled “Hypnosis.”
She published several books on the subject, including Help Yourself Thru Hypnotism and Self Hypnosis (1953), The Art of Hypnotism (1956), Successful Hypnotism (1956) and Science of Self-Hypnosis (1959).
