  Paul Zenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Zenon (born June 29, 1964) is a British magician noted for his tongue-in-cheek performances, usually carried out in pubs and on the streets of London.
Zenon's interest in practical jokes started at the age of eight, when he sold fake raffle tickets for an non-existent prize.
After spells in comedy clubs and Forces entertainment, Zenon moved to children's television in the early 1990s, appearing regularly in the BBC shows Tricks 'n' Tracks and Tricky Business.

 Scotsman.com News - Top Stories - A tricky customer
Zenon is anything but pretentious in person and it seems that the inspiration for his affable approach is that lest-we-forget-him magician (unless of course you’re Louis Theroux or the lovely Debbie McGee) Mr Paul Daniels.
Zenon is certainly trying his hardest to drag magic kicking and screaming out of the early Eighties.
Born Paul Collins in the north of England, roughly where Yorkshire and Lancashire collide, Zenon was re-christened in his teens by rock legends Hawkwind at the Hammersmith Odeon when he persuaded them to use him as a support act (they agreed if he would change his name).

Zenon possesses the rare skill of being a brilliant and talented magician, whilst still allowing his deliciously devious sense of humour to dominate the show.
The Zenon personality is not to everyone's taste, and on the night his audience volunteers appeared less than willing to put their trust in his hands when on stage.
The cast of eight sings, plays, dances and acts their way through the reign of Paul - or pall of Paul, depending on your politics - in a way that captivates both the hardcore political watchers as well as the casual musical buff.

 Edinburgh 2002: Paul Zenon: Off The Street, On The Road
He is certainly an excellent illusionist with an easy-going line in self-deprecating banter - a bit too safe to be called edgy, but giving the sometimes tired art form enough of a twist to keep things interesting.
But, as Zenon points out himself, the biggest cheer of the night is for downing a pint in one.
That's probably because his likeable patter has endeared him to the audience as a loveable blokish rogue who is, in the words of the Fast Show character, "a little bit woooh, a little bit wahay".
