He played a trick on me at a school fete (1980), just a guess which hand the coin is which obviously he made it disappear then reappear to pay for me to play a game on one of the stalls.
The last time I saw him was only less then 3 months ago at the Christmas panto in Ipswich.
His chop cup routine was one of the best trick I've seen, I think it was voted No2 or 3 of all time on some TV show I saw a while back.
RIP Paul.
