From the age of 14, I started having hour-long magic sessions with Harry once every two weeks or so, where he would teach me much of his working men’s club set from his heyday. Some of it is arguably a little dated now, but it was attention-grabbing stuff and fun to perform. I learned a lot from Harry, and still perform some of that material to this day. I subsequently joined the junior section of the Northern Magic Circle and that was another turning point, allowing me to grow as a performer and building my confidence. Once I turned 16, I started working as a close-up magician at hotels and restaurants, using it to pay my way through university. The slot lasted no more than five or ten minutes, and was a filler between children's programmes, but one performer stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Paul Daniels also had a weekly performance on TV. When I was growing up in the eighties Paul seemed to be on the TV every Saturday night for years and was an institution in the world of magic. Tyrrel, Rebecca (August 2000). "Deb's delight". Telegraph.co.uk. Archived from the original on 25 December 2007 . Retrieved 18 November 2007. Daniels was a Marmite magician. Many loved him for his skill, his stories, his showmanship, his catchphrases (“You’ll like this... not a lot, but you’ll like it”). His detractors found him annoying – defensive, unfunny, boastful, with a hint of small-man syndrome. If he wasn’t counting his acres, he’d be totting up his Ferraris and Bentleys. But McGee insists this was all bravado; that the real man was nothing like that. “I think he was totally misunderstood. Paul was from Middlesbrough and people from the north-east are quite abrupt and say what they think. Journalists made him out to be this very hard, conceited person, but he was a real people person. There was no side to him, no snobbery. He was a really kind person.” She looks on the verge of tears.Today, the father of two, who also works in pupil support at a Dunfermline high school, entertains both children and adults throughout Scotland including Edinburgh, the Lothians, Perth, Dundee, Falkirk, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Stirling and beyond.

It has been a slow, complicated process, she says. “When somebody dies, first you feel somebody’s dropped you in the ocean and you’re treading water and you don’t know which direction to take. There’s no steering wheel. I’d always been focused, knew what I wanted, where I wanted to go, and suddenly all that went.” Does she get any comfort from doing magic? “Since Paul died I can’t face it. I can’t even bear to think of being on the stage.”After various deliberate “humiliations” along the way to boost his confidence and underline his low starting point, it culminated in a 90-minute Easter Day 2005 TV special, watched by seven million UK viewers, when he had to go on stage and fool Paul Daniels into believing he was a genuine magician.
