It's sad when such a talented & well liked entertainer only gets onto TV & Radio now by having an accident like this.

There was a mention of it at the time somewhere here and it linked to hig blog. The irony of it all is that he was using his saw to make new gizmos which would make using it safer!

I read about it in the paper today, at least they managed to reattach it. Hopefully he'll be able to use it again properly once it's all healed!

What a thing to happen. Thankfully he seems to be on the mend. The guy is a legend. It would be horrible if this affected his magic. I want to catch him live again before he retires.

It was also given a mention on the radio on Saturday morning (Magic 828)
They did say he was on the mend though.

Get well soon Paul... :wink:

In relation to the title, and from his blog;

The media caught up with the story of the accident over the last two days and, as was to be expected, changed the truth somewhat, seeking far more dramatic descriptions than the story I told in my blog.

I thought I had best bring you all up to date with the situation. Yes, it was awful but turned out to be better than I thought it was going to be. The story about my forefinger being sewn back on was a bit of an exaggeration. True, the saw did rip through the top knuckle area of my left forefinger but it never came right off and it is already healing up. The little finger of the left hand has a tiny bit missing from the tip but it never touched the nail. The middle finger is untouched. The worst bit is that I have lost the top section, the part that had the nail on it, of my ring finger.


Glad to see him getting better. Would love to see him live again.
