I can't believe Ali Bongo doesn't know me. He must be going senile. I have known him for about 45 years. He knew me under a different name but he must know who Mark Lewis is. Try again and ask him who Ronnie McLeod is. If that doesn't do it then nothing will. I worked with him in Hamleys for a very long time day in and day out. He once remarked to a magician who asked if I worked for him (he was the boss) and he replied
"No. I worked with him for a very short time. And it felt like a very long time"
I certainly know Tom Owen. And I know John Hardman who I think is still there. I do not know Derek Lever but I have heard all sorts of horrific stories about him which I don't believe for one minute. I suppose once you are an agent always an agent. You are seen as the devil incarnate.
I am quite sure that Paul Daniels will remember me. I used to tell laymen that he knew me. They were amused by this and said "typical of you to say that he knew YOU rather than you knew HIM!"
