BornMarch 19, 1921
U.K.
DiedApril 15, 1984 (age 63)
Known as a fez-wearing magician whose tricks always seemed to go wrong, he suffered a heart attack during a televised performance. He uttered 'I don't feel well' and fell back against the curtain. Given the usual nature of his act, the audience took some time to realize that this really wasn't part of it. He died later in hospital.[1]

His brother David (born 1930) opened a magic shop in the 1960s in Buckinghamshire (now Berkshire) called D. & Z. Cooper's Magic Shop.
