Paul Daniels on Modern Magic

Paul Daniels is the subject of a recent, in-depth article.

"Nowadays you are getting guys who can only do card tricks," says Daniels in the story. "The rest is staged for television to add the variety, which I learned to do when I was a young man..."

"He likes them and enjoys their work but does not view it as a generational shift," says the story.  "‘I am surprised,’ Daniels grumbles, ‘that people think that magic has changed when I have not seen anything new on television in about 20 years. The only thing which has changed is the clothes."

You can read the entire story here.
