Information About

Tony Corinda





HIS BACKGROUND

His background is a mystery and it is unknown when he was born or where he came from.
Not even his real name is surely known today. Some magicians say his real name was Tony Simpson or Thomas W. Simpson.

In the 1950's and 60's he had at least two shops in London (one in Mortimer Street and one in Tottenham Court Road) where he sold
magic tricks and various other items not at all connected with magic and mentalism.

He is living/lived in retirement in the UK for the last decades and tends to stay away from magicians and mentalists.

Nobody knows for sure if he has already passed away.


HIS BOOK

It is not entirely sure if Tony Corinda is the sole author of Thirteen Steps To Mentalism .
There are various statements, that Jon Tremaine and David Berglas were considerably involved in the writing process.
