Early life
When she was a teenager, Mills became interested in magic, particularly David Blaine (going as far as recording his magic tricks on television and rewatching them to figure out how they were done), but gave it up when she went to university. She studied social psychology at Loughborough University. She hosted an event which had many magicians, including Dynamo. It is from that event that she got the inspiration to become a magician.
