Paul Daniels sells thousands of pounds worth of props

Paul Daniels, the magician, is selling dozens of his props, along with their secrets, on eBay.

For more than half a century he has amazed audiences with his mysterious magic tricks.

Paul Daniels left television viewers baffled as he transformed girls into tigers, identified playing cards while blindfolded or pulled a wooden broom through his wriggling body.

But now the secrets behind his elaborate illusions are finally being revealed.

Daniels, 72, has put dozens of his stage props up for sale on eBay, the online auction site.

He describes the objects in detail and promises that aspiring magicians who buy them will be able to carry out the tricks themselves.

The entertainer, who presented The Paul Daniels Magic Show on the BBC from 1979 to 1994, said people could purchase “a part of magic history” and added that many of the props had been used before him by other famous magicians, including David Copperfield.
