Been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour. Such a **** year! All the deaths to cancer Bret Hart being diagnosed with prostate cancer and now Paul Daniels!

I remember I had a Paul Daniels magic kit and he was the first magician that got me to love magic.

Really sad news!

Met him in the lift at a Hotel after the York game a couple of years ago. He was still doing the public speaking circuit when, in all reality, he should have been putting his feet up.
Sad news

Horrible news, all the best wishes possible to him and Debbie in this final curtain call.

I love Paul Daniels.

Saturday night TV was much better when I was young. Strictly and X factor can't hold a candle to 321 and The Paul Daniels show.

At least Debbie will have her dogs to keep her company

Terrible comment !

Never mock the inflicted because it may return with vengeance .

I saw him at the London Palladium years ago when Debbie was just his assistant. He was brilliant.

Such a shame. I completely agree that Saturday night TV was so much better when I was a kid.

Such sad news.

Piers Morgan was on TV this morning and said 'I wish him well'. Not sure he gets what terminal means

 

[Mad Cyril]

I'll always remember him for Wizbit.

What a show!

I was bought a Paul Daniels magic show kit & book one birthday or Christmas. It was bloody hard.

Genius ! Give me Paul Daniels over Dynamo anyway :smile:

Just read that he was on the TV AM sofa the day after Freddy Mercury died with Brian May & Roger Taylor, and on being asked if he liked Queen's music, he said "no, not really." :hilarious:

RIP Paul, one of those stalwarts of the entertainment business, managed to carve a hugely successful career without being at all unpleasant. Not many of those types left.
