Magician Ali Bongo has left the stage.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7931251.stm
"Magician Ali Bongo, who made numerous appearances on television, has died aged 79 after suffering a stroke.
Bongo - whose real name was William Wallace - also acted as a consultant on programmes including The Paul Daniels Magic Show and Jonathan Creek."
I remember him as an assistant to David Nixon back in the black and white TV days.
R.I.P. Ali/William

Re: Magician Ali Bongo has left the stage.
I remember him with affection too.. 
a nice person as this quote shows.
Quote:
The magician said he was against exposing tricks on television, saying it ruined the fun for budding young illusionists.
"It's rather silly. That spoils it for a great many kids. If their tricks are exposed on TV, they can't show them to their friends.

Re: Magician Ali Bongo has left the stage.
I remember him,
To be honest I never thought he was that good as a magician.
Him and the Great Suprendo, used to annoy me.
