My Own Magic: A Decade of Travel, Tricks and Transformation

Despite a glamorous lifestyle full of globetrotting adventures, travel expert and entrepreneur Anna Kloots felt lost and directionless. Now, for every woman searching for her voice, Anna shares her story of finding and believing in her own magic.

By the time she reached her mid-twenties, Anna Kloots found that she had all but disappeared.

Assistant to her husband, renowned magician Joshua Jay, Anna Kloots traveled to 83 countries across six continents. Alongside Josh, she tracked tigers in Jaipur, rode a bobsled in Jamaica, performed on a floating palace that perpetually sailed the world, rode in a hot-air balloon over the desert of Dubai, and planted mangroves in the Mekong Delta. When the curtain went down, Anna found herself rootless and alone–struggling in a relationship that relegated her to the back seat and left no room for her own desires and dreams.

My Own Magic takes us on Anna’s journey around the world and back home to her family where she ultimately finds purpose, love, joy, and the courage to follow her own path. From the cobblestoned streets of Kosovo to the forests of India, to the coral reefs of Fiji, Anna invites us behind the scenes of her extraordinary life and inspires us to be the heroes of our own adventure story.

My Own Magic is a real-life coming-of-age story about a woman who learned to find herself through loss and discovered the power of travel to save the soul–no sleight of hand required.
