Edward Albert Cooper

1930-2001

Ted Cooper really was a Magician - from a young age he fell in love with the art and set about learning and collecting as much as he could. He also built props including the Zig Zag Lady you’ll see for auction

today as well a Saw the Lady in Half, Floating Table, Cascading Coins and many, many more.

Ted was a very successful businessman and longstanding member of the Launceston Magician’s Club. He did countless shows for charity and for children with disability and illness. He would often set up a

stage in his garage and entertain family and friends – his grandchildren loved his shows as much as he enjoyed doing them and still have very fond memories of Poppy Cooper’s magic shows.

As you can see from his collection, he performed close-up with coins and cards, children’s magic, stage

and parlor as well as mentalism. He was a perfectionist and considered the entire performance - not just the trick - often spending hours getting the music just right.

With Ted’s passing it was difficult for his family to finally make the decision to let go of this collection

into which he had poured so much of himself. This auction is a way of honoring his memory. His magic items will again be used as intended – by magicians everywhere to amaze, astound and entertain.
