It is with great sorrow that we must report that magician Paul Daniels is dead.

Paul Daniels has died today with Debbie at his side, just a few weeks after his brain tumour was diagnosed.

Dominic Reyes : ‘Paul Daniels showed me the very first magic trick I ever experienced. I loved his magic TV show as a child, and his work directly resulted in my lifelong love of the impossible. Deepest sympathy to his family. The magic community is poorer for his passing.‘

Mark Henderson :  ‘Paul Daniels influence on my magic can’t be measured. He always had time for everyone he met, and he helped so many magicians learn their craft. RIP Paul.‘

 Ben Williams : ‘I’ll never forget growing up in the 1980’s watching Paul Daniels on TV. It’s undoubted that his magic has influenced a generation of magicians, including myself.‘
