He really was a one off, so funny. I used to go to Blackpool with my parents every year and they used to take me to some shows. I don't know how old I was this particular year but I guess maybe 9 or so. Anyway we went to see Tommy, he was in a show on the pier, he was probably top of the bill. He only walked on stage and my Mother burst out laughing at him, we were not too far from the stage and he gave us a look. I don't remember anything else from the show but I never forgot that. It would be easy these days to say his stuff is old hat. But Tommy carried it off so well and he was such a big imposing man made even more so by wearing that fez. Very graceful with his movements I always thought for a big man too. RIP Tommy you were a star.

Mr. Cooper did have very serious health problems for years, and they got worse and worse... He could hardly walk for some time, was in great pain, but he continued... that was Mr. Cooper's life and death! He was the greatest "commedians" ever, much more than a magician, much more than a clown. He was Tommy Cooper, the one and only. He made me laugh, he made me smile... and after watching one of his tricks, listening to one of his stories... I felt better. He made my soul smile... that is how I see it.

A genuinely funny dude. I like how he kinda poked fun (albeit warm-heartedly) at the art of magic, where he would take the usual trick or joke and turn it around and make it his own, as if he was in on the joke way before the audience was. One of the true-blue greats.

I think I'm too young to know. I first saw a few clips of Cooper in the Sex Pistols documentary "The Filth and the Fury," but I didn't know his name. Later on I found a video talking about deaths on live TV and he was on it and (now that I had a name to go with the face) I looked up a huge amount of videos where he was performing and I thought he was hysterical. I don't know what the Secret Seven is or the Magic Circle, I just thought he was really funny. I apologize for any misgivings you or I may have had.
