Synopsis

From corporate burnout to standing ovations — the extraordinary true story of a woman who discovered that the greatest magic is the one you find in your own life.


From the only woman ever to win both the Las Vegas World Magic Awards and The Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year comes a remarkable true story of courage, joy, and chasing impossible dreams.


Romany’s glittering career — performing her award-winning comedy magic show in theatres and on luxury cruise ships worldwide — began in the unlikeliest way. At 26, a high-pressure corporate career at BT led to complete burnout — she couldn’t even answer the phone, let alone sell one. Who even wanted a corporate career? “All I ever wanted was to stand on stage in the beautiful spotlights! So I started learning magic.”


If you’ve ever battled anxiety, self-doubt, an eating disorder, body image struggles, or felt stuck in a life that didn’t fit, this memoir will inspire you to keep going until the magic happens — in life, and in yourself.
