David Nixon - Entertainer with the Magic Touch (Edwin A. Dawes, Stephen Short)
Hardback, 276 x 210mm, 288 pages, price £35.00 www.jeremymillspublishing.co.uk.
 Mention to anyone ‘Magic and TV’ and you will normally get one of a number of answers depending on the age range, but you can almost guarantee that one of those names will be David Nixon. Dubbed ‘The Father of Magic on TV’, David is fondly remembered by many for this relaxed and friendly style of magic, and his long career on TV in the 1950’s through to the 1970’s. Yet strangely, there has never been any major book on David’s life and career. Thankfully Edwin A Dawes and Stephen Short have collated photos, memories and first hand experiences from many of David’s family, friends and colleagues in show business into a wonderful, enlightening, humorous and factual trip through the life, times and experience that was ‘David Nixon - Entertainer with the Magic Touch’
Delving into this gorgeous and lavish book there is an abundance of photos, magazine clippings, show bills, and television stills, many of which have been collected from the Nixon family, friends and associates, these create a wonderful base around which David’s life story can be told, over 200 photos and illustrations covering all the aspects of David’s on stage, screen and personal life bring the book and David’s story to life. The book was written with help and assistance from the Nixon family, a number of close friends and colleagues of David including the late Ali Bongo. Their memories of David also helps capture and convey David’s delightful charm not only of his magic, but of his personality as well.
