Magician and personality born in Middlesborough, England in 1938. 

One of the UK's leading magicians whose greatest fame was in the 1970's and 80's where he diversified as not only a quiz show host (with shows such as Odd One Out and Every Second Counts) but also children's TV in the shape of Wizbit. 

Started his TV career by coming second on Opportunity Knocks in 1970.  His 1985 Easter special Magic Show won the Golden Rose of Montreux Award. 

These days seems happy enough to send up his image on various chat shows and reality shows, usually appearing with his wife and stage assistant Debbie McGee (who was once asked on The Mrs Merton Chat Show "so what first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels"). He is also fond of buying and selling on Ebay.
