So sad, so many Saturday nights, “you’ll like this, but not a lot”

Loved Paul back in the day. Tried never to miss a show of his. It seemed very fresh and new. He also had some of the best magicians and weird acts.

He was a class above all other magicians I’ve seen. Very funny, very talented and very … normal compared to most other magicians of his day.

Here he is doing a camera trick 😉

RIP Paul.
