My better half was scared half to death when I made her drive across it. I don't get it myself. Its just some roundabouts.

I wouldn't even say it was one of the top 4 scariest junctions in Swindon to be honest.

And thats just the pub !
When I finally got my first motorbike at the tender age of 16 (yeah I know - 24 years ago!!!) I rode into town, and attempted to go over the Magic Roundabout.
I must have driven over it 1000 or more sat in my Mum's car before this - but when I had to do it myself I was completely stuck - but only the first time.....As soon as I worked out the big one in the middle was reversed - then everything fell into place...
I honestly think it is one of the smartest and best roundabouts I have ever driven over - it is a genius of engineering...
Oh my god - sorry !!! I am even boring myself to death - I need to go and have a ciggie !!!

Keep your foot down and don't let then see the whites of your eyes. Easy.

You demonstrate precisely why so many people fear the Magic Roundabout...it's the misconception that the central island is a roundabout in it's own right. It's nothing of the sort. It's an area of dead space in the middle of the (approx) pentagon formed by the 5 mini roundabouts. Take each of the 5 mini roundabouts one at a time, and everyone's fine.
