You'll like it, but not a lot. There's a thread going on called which tv personality would you like to slap. I don't recall seeing Paul Daniels mentioned there. He certainly deserves a slap.
Richard went through a phase a few years ago learning magic tricks - thankfully the phase ended and has not resurfaced (I can't tell you how irritating shuffling & dropping cards to make the right one turn over is!)
Doesn't everyone go through a magic phase? I've learnt and forgotten a few card tricks, but now i just tend to make the beer out of the fridge disappear
