Born in Watford on December 26, 1932, magician Terry Seabrooke worked in banking and insurance before finally turning to magic full-time in 1974. His interest in magic, however, began during his adolescence.Terry used his magic as a vehicle for comedy and his prominent glasses led him to call himself ‘The Four-Eyed Lunatic’. He used audience participation to establish his signature tricks of ‘the burnt bank note’ and ‘cigarette through coat’. These routines brought him to America over 100 times, on countless cruises and a 13-hour flight, sitting on the floor of an RAF Hercules, to do shows for the troops in the Falklands.Along with Paul Daniels and me, he was one of the resident magicians on the BBC series For My Next Trick and did television with Ken Dodd and the Grumbleweeds. In 1980, he appeared on a variety bill at the Palladium. Later he appeared on John Fisher’s TV series Magic Comedy Strip.Terry received many awards, both here and in America.

He was one of the few British magicians to be in the Society of American Magicians Hall of Fame, and he received a Masters Fellowship from the Academy of Magic Arts, in Hollywood. In Britain, he received the prestigious Maskelyne Award from the Magic Circle in 2009.Terry wrote two books, both published in America – Seabrooke’s Book, in 1986, and Beyond Compere, in 1993. He also wrote many articles for magic magazines on both sides of the Atlantic.In addition to his honorary life membership of the Magic Castle, in Hollywood, and being a Gold Star member of the Inner Magic Circle, Terry also belonged to the Grand Order of Water Rats.In June 2010, Terry was diagnosed with cancer. Although he underwent an apparently successful operation, he never returned home and passed away peacefully in a nursing home on January 11th, with his wife Hilda, his son Keith and his daughter Diane at his bedside.
