LONDON, March 17 — The UK star, who fronted “The Paul Daniels Magic Show” for 15 years on the BBC, passed away following a brain tumour diagnosis, the corporation reports.

Daniels’s son Gary confirmed the news on Twitter, posting a picture of a rabbit in a magician’s hat with a tear in its eye, alongside the message: “It is with incredible sadness that I can confirm that Dad, Paul Daniels, passed away overnight.”

The star also hosted a series of non-magic shows throughout the 1980s and 90s, including “Odd One Out” and “Wipeout.”  — AFP Relaxnews
