Thomas Frederick "Tommy" Cooper (19 March 1921 – 15 April 1984) was a Welsh prop comedian and magician. Cooper was a member of the Magic Circle, and respected by traditional magicians. He was famed for his red fez, and his appearance was large and lumbering, at and more than in weight. On 15 April 1984, Cooper collapsed, and died soon afterwards, from a heart attack on national television. ==Biography== Born in Caerphilly, Glamorgan, South Wales, at 19 Llwyn Onn Street, Trecenydd, Cooper was delivered by the woman who owned the house in which the family was lodging. His parents were Thomas H. (Tom) Cooper, a Welsh-born recruiting sergeant in the British Army, and Gertrude (née Gertrude C. Wright), his English-born wife from Crediton, Devon.〔GRO Register of Marriages: Dec 1919 11a 1538 Pontypridd – Thomas H. Cooper = Gertrude C. Wright.〕〔() 〕 To escape from the heavily polluted air of Caerphilly, his father accepted the offer of a new job and the family moved to Exeter, Devon, when Cooper was three. It was in Exeter that he acquired the West Country accent that became part of his act. The family lived in the back of Haven Banks, where Cooper attended Mount Radford School for Boys. He also helped his parents run their ice cream van, which attended fairs at weekends. When he was eight an aunt bought him a magic set and he spent hours perfecting the tricks. His brother David (born 1930)〔GRO Register of Births: Se 1930 5b 60 St Thomas – David J. Cooper, mmn – Wright〕 opened a magic shop in the 1960s in Slough High Street (then Buckinghamshire now Berkshire) called D. & Z. Cooper's Magic Shop.〔()〕 Cooper was influenced by Laurel and Hardy,〔John Fisher, ''Tommy Cooper: Always Leave Them Laughing'', Harper Collins, 2006, p. 137〕 Max Miller,〔 Bob Hope,〔 and Robert Orben.〔Fisher, ''Tommy Cooper'', pp. 157–158〕
