Paul Daniels is one of the most accomplished magicians in the world, and certainly one of the most exciting. Add to that a unique comedy style and you have a complete entertainer.

His fame and achievements are not confined to the UK. The USA, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, Spain, and Japan have all recognised him as a world class entertainer. His numerous achievements include starring in his own hugely successful West End theatre show, headlining in Las Vegas and Broadway, and performing more unique magic on TV than any other magician in history.

From the moment he burst onto the ITV network his magic shows topped the ratings. A recent book on TV facts calls him the most successful TV magician of the 20th century. His creative genius has enabled him to produce consistently stunning shows, unrivalled in spectacle and covering the whole world of entertainment magic, from small, ‘close-up’ effects, to enormous outside broadcast illusions.

In 1983 Paul was presented with the prestigious Magician of the Year award by the Hollywood Academy of Magical Arts before a star-studded audience in Los Angeles. It was a tremendous achievement for Paul, and he was the first magician from outside the USA to receive the award.

In 1985 his exciting TV special, Paul Daniel's Easter Magic Show was awarded the coveted Golden Rose of Montreaux Award. This was followed by the Variety Club of Great Britain staging a special show business luncheon in Paul's honour at the Dorchester Hotel in London, televised by the BBC.

His TV career has not been limited to performing magic. As a presenter, he has hosted some of the most enjoyable game shows on TV. Odd One Out, Every Second Counts and the highly rated Wipe Out have all had great success in the battle for viewers. There was also the wonderful Wizbit children's series, which featured a world of magic and wonder for the younger viewer.

Always in demand as a guest on talk-shows, Paul’s vibrant personality and love for magic make for a fascinating viewing, and his endless supply of stories and anecdotes from a lifetime in show-business, make for riveting viewing.

Paul has acted in the West End in Moliere’s The School for Wives. He also enjoys getting involved with film makers and has appeared in a few short films just for the fun of it. Recently he was in a local production of The Marriage of Figaro.
