What do you do when you dream of standing in the brightest lights on Broadway but you're born the wrong shape, in the wrong town, and find yourself living a life you never wished for -selling telephones. As a chubby little girl, then an overweight teenager, Romany could only dream of having a career on stage, but magic has a funny way to working things out if you only believe in it and follow its secret whispers. This is the real life story of a real magician: Romany-Diva of Magic, who now successfully performs her award-winning one-woman comedy magic show in beautiful theatres and on luxury cruises around the world. Her story contains: stage magic, 'real magick' and whatever other sort of magic you fancy-dreams of theatre, meddling angels, love and marriage, heartbreak and divorce, a helpful ancient Egyptian Goddess, a swirling sacred fire, extraordinary cosmic adventures, and handy detailed instructions on how to manifest the man (or woman) of your dreams. Romany, one of the few female magicians in the world, spills the secrets of "real magic," and while she takes you literally behind the red velvet curtain, she also reveals the secret rollercoaster life caught on the paralysing barb of a cruel and persistent eating disorder while reaching, always, towards a dream of Light. Her book is about pulling commitment and trust out of a hat that appears empty. This is a story of faith and intention-about deciding that you're going to walk stubbornly towards your heart's desire and not stop until you're there, trusting that the next step will appear-as if by magic.
