Happy Birthday Paul Daniels

I bet everyone who bought him a present wrote on the tag
"I think you'll like this...not a lot, but you'll like it"

Like he's never heard that before!

He's an absolute STAR.. saw him when I was 6, 16, 25 and a few weeks ago (at 31!) - each time, almost exactly the same show - but each time, he knocked the audience dead!

Great timing, rapier wit and a timeless act.

Debbie is 50 on friday

I saw paul last night for the first time! what a treat... saw the electric chair trick, loved the 6 card trick and his one cup and ball routine was great!!

he really wanted to know who the magicians in the audience where (I am guessing so they didnt get picked!)

I could have sworn he was older than that. I thought around 72 or so. It seems that I was wrong.

He just bought my Long and the Short of it svengali book recently. Perhaps you will see him soon working on your local market.

Although of course the above paragraph is just kidding I have always known that he has had an interest in grafting and grafters. Perhaps he did it in his youth or wanted to do it. He would have been a good one too.

Of course Ken Brooke was somewhat of a mentor to him and he was a grafter too. And I happen to know that Tommy Cooper was a grafter before he made it big.

What is a grafter? I hope nobody asks. I haven't the energy to explain.

great, because his local market, is in my village

hes just past 71, two weeks or so ago.

Oddly enough I can see him doing it for a laugh more than anything else. He certainly wouldn't be doing it for the money.

PD is one of my favourite magicians - just because I kind of 'grew up' with him on the TV. I recently saw him live, and he's as funny and brilliant as ever. I even got to meet him, which was really great. Almost as great as meeting Penn & Teller (who I worship!). I think too many people dismiss Paul for his age and his TV appearances, but I think he's one of the greats - at least in popularising magic for a whole generation of British boys and girls

Paul daniels is truly a legend. As you said he inspired a whole generation (or probably even two generations) of magicians in the UK. I love him

and to think he's still flying all the way down to little old New Zealand to do magic convention!
wow!
(I'm going to the master class) yay!

Hope you have fun, don't forget to tell us all about it!
