Today would have been Paul Daniels’ birthday were he still alive to see it. So let’s remember the horny little get in happier times, shall we?

“Paul Daniels once pulled off the most audacious chat-up move on an ex-girlfriend of mine. She worked with him on a pantomime one Christmas and, at the end of a cast meal, he leaned over the table and asked if she’d like to see a bit of magic. She said yes, so Paul whipped out his deck.
“It was a fairly standard trick. She picked a card, he asked her to write something on it that he couldn’t possibly guess – suggesting she use her phone number. Which she did.
“Paul made a joke about having a little shuffle, before proceeding to make the card disappear and reappear in a number of surprising ways. He then made it disappear completely – but that wasn’t the end of the trick. That happened when she hopped into a cab and her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number. “Clever, aren’t I?xxx”
“That wasn’t the only message she received from him that Christmas. It was, however, the only one that will get through readers’ spam filters.” |
