Under No Illusion

Behind the guise of the master magician, the consummate showman, lies a man of great intellect, wit and humour. But his dazzling career has been accompanied by a private life that has had more than its fair share of ups and downs - from his grim experiences in the army to the pain and heartbreak of a failed marriage. His frank, confiding style reveals a deeply sensitive and profound character, who has worked hard to establish himself as one of the nation's favourite entertainers. This is his magical life in Paul Daniels' own words.
