"Becoming Magic" is book one of a complete course in becoming creator of your own exceptional life. In this book, I outline the exact steps which enabled me to move my own life from one of poverty and drudgery, to one of previously unimaginable wealth, purpose and joy.
'But Magic? I do hope you are joking '
That's what I would have said, five or ten years ago. I once despised all things 'New-Age', all these spiritual types and their airy-fairy views, their bad science and their irrational beliefs.
I had read "The Secret" and all the Law of Attraction greats, Wallace Wattles, Anthony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne, Napoleon Hill, Esther Hicks and Wayne Dyer. But no matter how closely I followed their instructions for manifesting money, love or happiness, "I couldn't make it work."
It was only when I recognised, accepted and finally embraced that what I was doing was actually some kind of "Magic" that suddenly things began to fall into place. Once I realised that the power came from within "me," it was as if the light had suddenly been switched on. I learned how to manifest love and money, but I also learned how to be happy, truly happy.
If you're jaded by the whole New Age idea of The Laws of Attraction, have become bored by their failure to deliver... this book is for you. It is my intention to lead you by the hand through a marvellous journey of wonder and adventure, teaching you how to change your life, one step at a time.
Part one of this course, "Becoming Magic," lays the groundwork for becoming a magical person, while part two, "Doing Magic," offers concrete techniques and instructions for bringing wonderful things into your life. The plan is to build your knowledge slowly, gradually, building on what has gone before, moving on to more complex manifestation techniques only once the basics are mastered.
So many people fail with Magic and The Law of Attraction because they rush headlong into using techniques, trying to create enormous manifestations, making very simple but crucial mistakes. When they are disappointed, they imagine they have been duped. The sceptics are right. This is all a load of scammy nonsense. And they give up, declaring "it just doesn't work."
I am telling you that it does work. And "you can make it work." And this book will show you how.
My intention is that this book will allow you to become a true creator of your own life, reawakening and rekindling your belief and interest in The Law of Attraction, Manifesting Reality, Cosmic Ordering or whatever you wish to call it.
I prefer simply to call it "Magic."

The true story of a young mother, who fell into bootlegging and worse in Gangland Chicago in the Roaring 20s. To escape, she sent her boy away and fled to northern Wisconsin, where she ran a shady hotel, until her death under suspicious circumstances. Now her granddaughter takes you along for the ride as she hunts down the family secret. A "haunting story." Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune] This true story evokes the toll exacted on an ordinary woman and her young son, "caught in the web of Chicago's crime-ridden sin streets and the no-so-pastoral North Woods of Wisconsin." Richard Lindberg] With 175 historic photos, the tale tells a woman's story within the historic context of the corruption in Chicago, bootlegging during Prohibition and crime up in No-Man's Land northern Wisconsin. When Genevieve Davis's father was 5 years old, his mother took him to the funeral of vice lord Big Jim Colosimo. The book is based on Davis's 10 year, painstaking research project to find out how her Grandmother mother and Dad got mixed up in Colosimo's world. Along the way you'll run into Al Capone, Big Jim Colosimo and John Dillinger. "A haunting story. . . Davis's grandmother had a colorful, turbulent, mobster-crossed and altogether extraordinary life." Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune] Genevieve Davis shares some of her own adventures and misadventures as a researcher, historical re-enactor and professional artist, as she ferrets out the complex, intertwined stories of her Grandmother, crooks like Big Jim Colosimo, Al Capone and Johnny Torrio, local officials and her Grandmother's men friends and their families. The research project was also the source for the documentary film, SECRET LIFE, SECRET DEATH, produced and directed by Genevieve Davis, available at www.secretlifesecretdeath.com The film was described as "visually stunning" in the Chicago Tribune and "innovative and dazzling" by the Gene Siskel Film Center.
