Our latest book, David Nixon: Entertainer with the Magic Touch is now in stock at Jeremy Mills Publishing! This long-awaited title tells the story of a true wizard at work. As a panellist on What’s My Line? or as the host of It’s Magic and many other television shows, David Nixon was not just a magician, but a peerless performer whose warmth and wit made him a natural star. David Nixon: Entertainer with the Magic Touch tells the story of a remarkable life: how David’s childhood fascination with conjuring tricks led to wartime adventures with ENSA, and how he rose from running concert parties to being the nation’s best-loved star.

David’s personal life was one touched by tragedy. Yet for all his mastery of illusion – the mind-reading Nap Hand card trick or the mysterious mid-air disappearance of a lady in the Dizzy Limit – the easygoing on-screen image that made him a friend to every viewer was no deception, but a true reflection of a hardworking optimist who lived to entertain. For the first time, Edwin A. Dawes and Stephen Short have interviewed David’s many friends and loved ones to present a full portrait of his life. Lavishly illustrated using family photographs, publicity posters and television stills, David Nixon: Entertainer with the Magic Touch is a truly enchanting book.

The book is now available from our online bookshop for £35.00 and free UK delivery! Click here to find out more!
