About this listen

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!

Romany is a natural storyteller who sweeps you along in her moving joyous journey through light and darkness to success, all along the way showing how you also can get to where you want to go. Its an autobiography, and adventure, a good deal of self help and empathy all rolled into one and dusted with feathers and sequins. A book for everyone who needs a lift, everyone who has a dream they're afraid to follow and anyone who ever wanted to be a magician. Her abiding belief in magic and it's being everywhere runs through and sweeps you up along the bath, a joy to listen to

Romany, I met you years ago at an evening party (organised by Breakfast Club Host, Gwen something) where you roamed the room hugely entertaining us with what you had in your pockets. I never forgot you, knew you'd gone to Brighton, tried to find you - then you popped up in my next Audible read. I listened over 24 hours. Magic. I will listen again. Wonder if you still do casual private parties? Know you're a seriously Big Star now. May be I should start saving up for my 80th birthday! Loved every minute of your fabulous reading and your inspiring story.

I really enjoyed this real life story. Entertaining and inspiring in equal measure. Romany's voice really brought it to life with passion and is very easy to listen to.

The story of Romany’s rise to one of the top female magicians is a real “page turner”. Her soothing voice was my companion while I was going on my daily bike rides. What a story, so much has happened in her life. It’s also a story of mental health and how to teach for your dreams. I can’t recommend this audiobook enough.

A “Page Turner”... what a story

I would highly recommend the audiobook so you can let Romany’s soothing tones be a treat for your ears. It’s been a captivating book to listen to, especially for the adventures (which is lovely, as I read it in lockdown number 2)! What a journey Romany has been on, you won’t be disappointed reading this wonderful book!

A wonderful, inspiring read

I enjoyed it when I read it. But having it read to me by the author herself - well, that takes it to another level. An inspiring tale for anyone and everyone, I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

A magical book magically told

This is a brilliant book, perfectly told by the author. Hearing it in her own words brings it alive in an engaging way. It's like you're sat next to her as she recounts her story.
I laughed (lots) and cried (a few times). Her honesty and openess in dealing with her struggles are heartbreaking at times, however sharing them will help others I know.
It's a truly inspirational book, which encouraged me to think about where I want/need to make changes in my life to achieve the dreams I have. Romany equips you with a few "magic" secrets on how you can reach your dreams and goals just as she has.
Highly recommended!!!

A beautifully spun magical tale

Over the last five years as a monthly subscriber to Audible, I have been lucky enough to listen to some of the greatest audiobooks ever made. This is one of them and it may remain my number one. The way Romany tells her story is almost cinematic. She brings all the characters to life with her range of voices and each scene, from Fire Dances to David Copperfield's personal museum draws the reader in to see and feel everything Romany experiences.

Romany's journey to the top of her profession in Las Vegas and 6* cruises as a stage and cabaret magician is tough, funny, heartbreaking and, yes, magical. There is a subplot too which Romany calls her 'shame'. I won't spoil it for the reader or listener, but her goal to create the perfect magic show and deliver the flawless, standing ovation performance is achieved by incredibly hard work and by battling her demons. Some of the decisions she makes and the global trips she takes to learn from the very best are audacious and courageous. This is one very brave lady but one you can also have a giggle with.

I certainly understood why there are so few world-class female magicians but Romany and her story are unique. I listened to this in four nights as I was so so captivated. I didn't want it to finish but then again I remembered to 'Be careful what you wish for'. 'Spun into Gold' deserves to be a mega success for this magical entertainer at the very top of her game. Thank you, Romany/
