My Uncle taught Peter M to juggle!!!
Hi Thanks for looking at this:)
I am desperately trying to gather as much info as I can about my uncle, the late Harold Taylor, a British magician and comic entertainer.........
He taught Peter MacNicol ( 24 and Numb3rs) how to juggle for the movie Dragonslayer!!!
Are any of the cast and/or crew out there? Do you remember seeing him? What was he like?
In England in the 60's, 70's and 80's Harold Taylor put on many shows, he was one of the leading magicians of the time, and was the inspiration for many to become magicians. Did you see any of his shows? Again can I have your comments?
On 10 may 1976 he filmed "The David Nixon Show" series 5 episode 6! Did you see him on this show? Can I please have your comments about him?...Did anyone save this episode, any chance I could see a copy?... Is the whole series available to buy?
For those in America and Canada, he gave lectures about his tricks!
Aside from Harold Taylor being the inspiration for many magicians in the 60-80's, he performed for the young Prince Charles and Princess Anne many times!
He went to Number 10 Downing Street a few times when Harold Wilson was in power - a headline in a stage paper read '2 Harold's at No.10 !!!
He even entertained on a regular basis, doing the xmas party, for J Paul Getty !!!....
I appreciate your help guys!!!
