When Tommy Cooper died on stage in 1984 he left behind an enduring, unforgettable, legacy of comedy mixed with magic. His lumbering bulk, maniacal laugh and anxious features were enough to induce hysteria without a word being spoken. And his talent for both visual and verbal gags had any audience of any age convulsed in seconds.
