Spun Into Gold: The Secret Life of a Female Magician

✨ 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.
