    TV entertainer magician Paul Daniels no more

    MUMBAI: Television entertainer and magician Paul Daniels breathed his last today at the age of 77. Daniel was diagnosed with a brain tumor in February and passed away peacefully at his residence in Berkshire with his wife Debbie McGee at his side in the early hours of this morning.

    Famous for his long-running BBC programme The Paul Daniels Magic Show, which ran from 1979 to 199, Daniels was known for a string of catchphrases, including the line: “You’ll like this… not a lot, but you’ll like it.” 

    At the time Daniel’s illness was confirmed, a statement from his publicist said, “We can confirm that one of our greatest magicians and entertainers of all times, Paul Daniels, has sadly been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor.”

    Martin Daniels, his son, said at that time: “He has said before, ‘When it’s your time it’s your time’ and that’s how he is trying to face up to things.”

    Daniels was famous for his close-up magic and entertainment shows, but was less known for his special effects work. He designed the special effects for the stage productions of Cats and Phantom Of The Opera, and was commissioned by the English National ballet to create magical effects for The Nutcracker.
