Resumen del Editor

This book is for anyone who has ever had a dream. For anyone who wants to remember how magic works. Romany - diva of magic - is a successful magician. She performs her award-winning, one-woman comedy magic show all over the world in beautiful theaters, making people laugh and wonder.

But as a chubby little girl, her dream of making it in showbiz didn’t look likely. This is not a tale of overnight success but a roller coaster story of determination and persistence. It is about deciding that you’re going to walk stubbornly toward your heart’s desire and not stop until you’re there, trusting that the next step will appear...as if by magic!

Magical an inspirational story.

Inspiring Story

Although this book was a little slow starting, I loved it. The reader quickly gets into the author's 'head' to live vicariously through her with all her hopes and dreams. I found it a 'page turner' and I am sure my car got some extra miles when I would come to an interesting part and I was a block from home. I found the book particularly interesting because I know the author and I have had a couple of opportunities to see her magic act (she's a magician - a very good one). The road to such a career is rocky to say the least and Romany is inspiring in her quest to become one of the best!

Magic in many ways

I got an Audible subscription just to hear this book! Inspiring and then some. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and be amazed.

Magic in so many ways

I absolutely loved this book. I Romany’s story is so unique, yet her life crisscrosses my own in fascinating ways. Her words and wonder at things I’d begun take for granted have motivated me to get back on my own path to magic. As a reader, the author is fantastic. Her story is raw, funny, and honest. Her adventures are inspiring and amazing. I truly enjoyed my time with this book.

An inspiring tale of magic and perserverance

Beautifully written and narrated, I found this story to be heart-felt and engaging.
I enjoyed the author's honesty and vulnerability, and found myself routing for her through her trials, as well as delighting in her triumphs.
This book is truly entertaining! Romany's wit and gift for comedy shines through her stories. The way "real" magic weaves it's way through the author's discovery of her stagecraft and supports her travels, lends itself to inspired storytelling.
I highly reccomend this book!

entertaining and inspiring

I love this book and loved hearing Romany's voice telling her story. Thank you for adding this to the audible library

Romany spins pure magic

I had no idea what an adventure Romany could take me on with her wild tales of a journey to find her own source of magic. She spins a tale that entrances, and her reading voice lures me in, mesmerizing as a spell.
I hate to pause the track for anything, as the many twists and turns in this life journey keep me desperate to know what comes next. I feel the magic seeping out all around me, spreading and catching like wildfire.
I suspect that after hearing this tale, anyone who listens will be a bit more magical themselves.
It’s not all fairy tales though. Romany shares the raw and vulnerable, very real side of her struggle, as she moves through each unbelievable adventure.
Thanks for sharing your story, Romany.

Over the Moon

Well, I feel like I could do anything now after listening to Romany tell her amazing story. This book is extremely uplifting while simultaneously being gritty and full of home truths. You cannot run from your demons. They follow you everywhere, but what an astonishing piece of news that while battling them you can also be true to your deepest desires and dreams. This tell-all adventuresome biography is intense, fun, and joyful. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Romany’s voice is clear as well as full of whatever emotion she is bringing you to.
I highly recommend this as an uplifting read for young and old. At seventy five it feels like there must be some tucked away dreams I should or could still look at and strive for. I certainly know I’d have found my serious young self a very good friend, if I had read this a ‘few’ years back! Brilliant.
