Tommy Cooper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Frederick Cooper (19 March 1921 - 15 April 1984) was a British prop comedian and magician. He was a member of the Magic Circle, and was respected by traditional magicians. He habitually wore a red fez, and his appearance was large and lumbering, at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and more than 15 stone (210 lb; 95 kg) in weight.[1] On 15 April 1984, Cooper collapsed with a heart attack on live national television, and died soon afterwards.

Early life
Thomas Frederick Cooper was born on 19 March 1921 at 19 Llwyn-On Street in Caerphilly, Glamorgan.[2] He was delivered by the woman who owned the house in which the family were lodging. His parents were Thomas H. Cooper, a Welsh recruiting sergeant in the British Army and later coal miner, and Catherine Gertrude (née Wright), Thomas' English wife from Crediton, Devon.[2][3]
To escape from the heavily polluted air of Caerphilly, his father accepted the offer of a new job and the family moved to Exeter, Devon, when Cooper was three. It was in Exeter that he acquired the West Country accent that became part of his act.[4] When he was eight, an aunt bought him a magic set and he spent hours perfecting the tricks.[5] In the 1960s, his brother David (born 1930)[6] opened a magic shop called D. & Z. Cooper's Magic Shop on the high street in Slough, Berkshire.[7]
After school, Cooper became a shipwright in Southampton. In 1940, he was called up as a trooper in the Royal Horse Guards, serving for seven years. He joined Montgomery's Desert Rats in Egypt. Cooper became a member of a NAAFI entertainment party and developed an act around his magic tricks interspersed with comedy. One evening in Cairo, during a sketch in which he was supposed to be in a costume that required a pith helmet, having forgotten the prop, Cooper reached out and borrowed a fez from a passing waiter, which got huge laughs.[8] He wore a fez whenever performing after that, the prop later being described as "an icon of 20th-century comedy

rest in peace to the GOAT of magic. his performances were beyond amazing and hilarious. luckily, people of all ages can watch his acts as if he were still with us.
