Paul Daniels - The Wheeltappers and Shunters Club 22/02/1975

[@reverendv8900]

Debbie joined him four years later. His talent as far back as 1975 is undeniable - very skilled and quick witted.

[@willcam5336]

What a brilliant slick performance. Great with the audience as well.

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

Reminds me of Bob Monkhouse a lot - which is probably why he was so good doing quiz shows as well

[@alkatrask2704]

@@ChrisHopkinsBass he was probably better at quiz shows than magic in my opinion. From what I read in his biography he was also an amazing down-hill skier, an accomplished bummer, and an expert painter.

[@KingKenny.]

No one can deny he was a superb performer and a natural with a live audience

[@frankhyland6333]

True pro. The audience must have thought " oh shit" another card trick merchant. Then he went off with an ovation. That is skill.

[@Colsoloact-po9wv]

Definitely one of the all time best……very funny man and a superb performer!

[@unclejoe7958]

What a patter. Amusing, entertaining and professional.

[@pjlogan386]

This is a masterclass in stand up.thanks again for post.

[@montyf2165]

His Saturday evening magic show was must see viewing in our house. Brilliant

[@nevillelaybourne5610]

This is entertainment at its best, by one of the best entertiners.

[@WeeShooey]

Great talent.

[@billgriffiths1685]

We all miss him, " not a lot" but we do.

[@frankw9619]

Those two tricks were his classic routines. There was no-one who could do the Chop Cup like him.

[@pauliemoody8754]

Wow. What a great English man. Great talent. God bless

[@alkatrask2704]

He never called himself an Englishman, always demanded to be called a Yorkshireman or a Spunnet, as their known.

[@errol-ih4jy]

that was fast and furious, took a lot of flack, but he was talented.

[@coolmacatrain9434]

3:00 That fiver (according to the menu/chalkboard seen in other clips) would have bought FIFTY meat pies at the Wheeltappers and Shunters Club in 1975.

[@DavidSmith-nd6pj]

Very very talented man

[@wobbers99]

The poor bloke at the end still had a torn fiver hahahaha

[@michaelhanrahan5349]

He bought a round of drinks with it and got £4.00 change.

[@alkatrask2704]

Back then a fiver was worth 6.50 new money.

[@michaelwhiles5282]

World class Brit - he should have gone to the states to make him a household name there... still he made plenty money here. Very pro Tory, he once said on a BBC Breakfast Time interview that he'd seen people attempting to escape from Communists being shot at by guards ....which had made his mind up regarding politics.

[@nkt1]

So if you hate Communism you have to become a Tory?

[@jonathanhall6163]

An inferno of a stage...enclosed on 3 sides. Inagine the energy.

[@jaggass]

One hell of a combover Paul had back then. He even made most of his hair disappear.

[@peterfenton2750]

amazing😂🤣

[@GravityBoy72]

He was brilliant.

[@alkatrask2704]

Brilliant he was

[@alanthomson007]

great stuff I like it not a lot but Paul was a great talent I played working mens clubs for years as a young man and so did Paul it was not easy believe me and a lot of the clubs I Played were in Glasgow near where I live so what a grounding that was then i moved into pop music then Rock music .

[@kjamison5951]

He was a hateful wee man when he got on his high horse, but as an illusionist, he was untouchable.

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

And he hated mediums, "psychics" and con artists of all kinds so he gets a pass from me

[@alkatrask2704]

He was hateful, used to fart on photos of Ali Bongo before a show. I met him once in Dubstable called me a numpty.

[@christopherwaring8285]

[@irnbrubhoy]

Genius

[@wayman72]

South African Shuffle.....

[@davidhenrywall8619]

Great magic he was a clever man

[@nigelwilliams9307]

Very clever man!

[@Dazzletoad]

Amazing 😳

[@jasons2559]

05:01 the smoke from the head trick was good 🚬

[@ronmccullock1407]

Class act

[@pauliemoody8754]

Brilliant. Xx

[@mohammaddavoudian7897]

I never forget Paul's wife, Debbie on Mrs. Merton's show. Caroline asked Debbie: What first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?😂

[@antheaalecto]

He was definitely a class act. Bernard Manning was spotted in the Background. Was this not the Embassy Club Manchester ?

[@SamHodkin23]

Not at all, it was all a set at Granada Studios, but brilliantly done.

[@rossspenser8314]

Well mist

[@speedbird76]

2:14 is that Emily Bishop having a night of cabaret away from Coronation Street?

[@Nickpaintbrush]

Not bad either!

[@alkatrask2704]

First Briton to create magic, first Briton to create a magical trick. Second Briton to write a book on magic. Inventor of many tricks, including Indian spoon trick, and spaghetti belly trick. Rumored to use carbon monoxide poisoning of audience to create hallucinations. All round genius.

[@highdownmartin]

David Nixon?

[@_Ben4810]

"Rumoured to use carbon monoxide poisoning of audience to create hallucinations " 🤣🤣🤡🤣

[@mummyd1990]

You will like it but not alot lol.

[@wibbley1]

Must be old, he has hair :o) Amazing how much casual racism was around then and how now, thankfully attitudes have changed somewhat.

[@lenniecapuano521]

couldnt stand him or his side kick trogg

[@TheSeafordian]

Haters got to hate.

[@leonthompson3433]

Great performance, but a man with a few problems...

[@alkatrask2704]

Problems? I knew about the homophobia, the hypersexuality, the priapism the devil worship. But what other problems are you even talking about?

[@stevecharters8965]

Great magic but the patter offensive by today's standards.

[@retrobilly1986]

Who bloody cares. It’s still funny

[@retrobilly1986]

By today’s standards he is exceptionally talented as well

[@montyf2165]

we haven't got any standards today
