Debbie McGee

The foundation of a good magic trick lies in misdirection, sleight of hand and a captivating performance. The woman behind the magic steps into the spotlight... For over 50 years, Debbie McGee has dazzled audiences, not just as the glamorous assistant to one of Britain’s most beloved magicians, Paul Daniels, but as a woman of strength, reinvention, and quiet brilliance in her own right. In her captivating debut memoir A Magical Life, Debbie lifts the curtain on a life lived centre stage, revealing the secrets not just behind the magic, but behind a remarkable woman who has navigated fame, love, loss, and reinvention with grace and grit. With her signature sparkle and sincerity, Debbie explores the power of illusion, both onstage and in life and how the most spellbinding trick of all is learning how to become yourself. From the glitz of the stage to the heartbreak of loss, from Strictly sequins to quiet resilience, Debbie shares enchanting stories, empowering insights, and personal ‘charms’ that readers can carry into their own lives. To celebrate her 50 years in showbiz in 2026, part memoir, part life manual, A Magical Life is a warm, wise, and wonderfully human tale of courage, reinvention, and yes — a little bit of magic. Perfect for fans of Shirley Ballas, Joan Collins, Alison Steadman, Dame Maggie Smith, and Helen Mirren, this is the story of a woman who spent a lifetime helping others shine, and who is finally ready to take centre stage.
