Where can I find a lot of information on the funniest magician ever - Tommy Cooper. When you type in his name for a normal search all you get is jokes (usually Tim Vines not Tommy's) or adverts for his video's and DVD's. I want to know things like 1. His stage work - 2. Magic tricks and 3. His biography - Is there anywhere where this is all available on the net? |

Dear Tuftedduck, Several biographies of Tommy Cooper are availavle online: Tommy Cooper (Place 34 in the list of "100 Welsh Heroes") <http://www.100arwyrcymru.com/en/biography/tommycooper> British Film Institute <http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/839963/> There are also some lists of stage works: BBC list fo stage works <http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/talent/c/cooper_tommy.shtml> British Film Institute <http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/839963/credits.html> As for his tricks, it seems that it is preferred that you'll buy cassettes to viwe some of the tricks, as only few are online, and not in a comprehensive site. I did find the "Multiplying Bottles" trick, with description, as one of the "Fifty Greatest Magic Tricks" <http://www.magicweek.co.uk/magic_reviews/review_show_fifty_greatest_magic_tricks.htm> You could see this trick, and buy its equipment on The Magic Box: <http://www.magicbox.uk.com/product.php/005/00184/> I hope this answered your question. Please contact me if you need any clarification on this answer before you rate it. |

These biographies aren't even accurate. Where can I find a whole site devoted to Tommy which lists his birth date at 19th March 1921. I don't mean just one page I could have found those myself|!!!!!!!!!!!! |

That's a rather rude response to someone that gave you what you asked for and more for $1.50 (the researcher only gets 75% of the fee). Your question did not ask for a website that shows a birthdate of 19th March 1921. How would the researcher know that all of the bio's on the web are wrong? |
