I know it's been fashionable to knock Paul Daniels for a few years but as a bit of an amateur magician, he's always been an inspiration for me. I met him a couple of times early on in his career and he came across as a genuinely nice chap. He's a marvellous entertainer and a great magician. His chop cup routines have to be seen to believed.

He's been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour.

He hasn't died yet but I'm sure that with that announcement, it won't be long.
 
Great shame. Always watched him when I was younger. I remember he did an awesome Halloween show once where he faked his own death.

Hopefully the end will be peaceful enough.
 
What a shame - at least he had a pretty good innings considering.

I know he's not dead yet - but its only a matter of time now! Hope he is surrounded by the people he loves.
 
More like the ’80s. I never missed The Paul Daniels Magic Show. Always liked him and never understood why he got such a hard time. Sad way to go.
 
He was also a huge geek and Atari 800 user back in the day. He was often in the home computer magazines back in the early 80's.
 
Saw him perform on November 19th last year. Was still in great form then.
Chop cut is still the best cups and balls performance I've seen.

2016 SUCKS!
 
oh. when i saw your title i thought you meant he had been thrown in with the saville/harris crew.

i'm not sure if this is better or not. i suppose it is, comparatively speaking. poor buggar. he performed at my birthday when i was little.
 
Brilliant Magician and entertainer.
I saw him on a comedy sketch show recently - Keith Lemon maybe!
Yes it was, it was a sketch about Hogwarts and he was a teacher.

I Witnessed him at Bridlington Spar Panto as buttons...5 or 6 years ago..

It amazes me how you can go Prime Time ITV to Panto just to keep paying the mortgage...

Ties in with my nihilist thread.

Makes you think...
