Later, he took over The Magic Shop in Oxford Street,London which was originally run by Dick Chavel. In 1950, he opened a magic studio where he sold all types of magic, but catered especially to mentalists. Born Thomas William Simpson, he took the name Tony Corinda (a variation on the name Conradi) when he began working as a mentalist in the UK. Corinda did not make his birthplace public although it is believed he was born in Mill Hill, London. Tony Corinda (– July 1, 2010) was an English mentalist, magic dealer, magic inventor and businessman who wrote the book Thirteen Steps To Mentalism.
For this, he has received many honours - including recognition from The Magic Circle who awarded him membership to the Inner Circle with Gold Star - a covetous award. However, Corinda succeeded in producing what has now become the most classic encyclopedia of mental magic. Without the advice of friends and invaluable assistance of the Puslisher, Harry Clarke, the task would have been impossible. While on tour in America, his friends persuaded him to write a book and with the support of nearly every professional Mentalist in the world, Corinda set out to compile The Thirteen Steps to Mentalism.Īfter two years the series was published step by step. Today, known throughout the world, Corinda has been acclaimed as inventor, writer, and teacher of Mentalism - the art of mind-reading.
