Timeline
Joanie suffered from pulmonary fibrosis and had been treated for cancer. In 2014 she moved from Las Vegas to Houston to await a lung and liver transplant.
Spina also penned a column for the periodical MAGIC Magazine in which she demonstrated techniques for magicians to improve their choreography and staging. Her columns appeared from January 2011 as video lessons on the iPad edition of the magazine.
In 2000 Spina left Copperfield's team and developed her own solo magic act, which she performed in locations including Las Vegas, Atlantic City and the Bahamas. She also withdrew from performing and began to concentrate on a directing career. Her clients in this role have included Mark Kalin and Jinger, Princess Tenko, Tim Kole (the son of André Kole), Melinda Saxe, Jeff Hobson, Juliana Chen, The Spencers, Dirk Arthur, and Lawrence & Priscilla.
In January 1985, while looking for the next step in her career, Spina answered an advert for a dancer in a show with "an international stage and television star". The star turned out to be magician David Copperfield, and he hired her. She worked for Copperfield for the next eleven years, until 1996, spending eight and a half of them as his lead assistant. She also became his choreographer and co-director. Her work included choreographing ten of Copperfield's nineteen CBS television specials, beginning with "The Magic of David Copperfield VIII: Walking Through the Great Wall of China" (March 14, 1986), in which she was credited as assistant choreographer, and his show "Dreams and Nightmares", which ran at the Martin Beck Theatre for 25 days between December 5 and 29, 1996. Among the well-known routines Spina contributed to were Copperfield's "Brazilian Water Levitation", included in 1991's special, and his signature "Flying" illusion, created by John Gaughan and included in 1992's special.
