She studied at Methodist Girls School and competed in the Australian in the Australian Mathematics Competition of 1997.
She attended Ngee Ann Polytechnic, where she studied a diploma in Film,Sound and Video, as she intended to work as a television producer and writer.
In 2006, she joined a local magic competition and was placed second runner up.

Cai was acknowledged as "Singapore’s only professional female magician" by publications including The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, The New Paper, My Paper, Mediacorp Channel 8 News and Lianhe Wanbao. She disliked being typecast as the typical female who only performed magic with silks, flowers or rabbits, so she incorporated fire-eating, samurai swords, fire balls and weapons in her shows.
She also started an online magic shop, The Little Magic Shop.

Cai collaborated with her longtime friend and mentor, John Teo, president of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (Singapore) in creating an activity book Game of Thoughts: Understanding Creativity Through Mind Games, which comprised a series of 'brain teasers, puzzles conundrums, thought experiments and writing exercises'.
In 2015, Cai organized a local book hunt called #SG50books50days, an initiative to generate interest in reading books by local authors.
Over the course of 50 days, she left 50 books from various authors at 50 different locations, to which she left clues via social media.
Books published by local authors such as Neil Humphreys were among those found by those who managed to solve the clues.
She is also a committee member of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisation’s women’s register.
Her 2016 Singapore Literature Prize nominated autobiography Who Is Magic Babe Ning? was published soon after. She made a brief return to magic as the Mind Magic Mistress in 2017.
In 2016 she collaborated with Don Bosco in writing Magicienne, a novel featuring a young protagonist who has been described as a "younger version of Magic Babe".
Cai's original manuscript had been long-listed for the Epigram Books Fiction Prize in 2016 and was subsequently reworked.
The book spent six consecutive weeks on The Straits Times bestsellers list.
Manipulation and Metamorphosis followed in 2021 and 2022.
