Tony Corinda is an magic dealer famous for having written the book 13 Steps To Mentalism. During the 50’s and 60’s he had two shops in London, mainly specialising in mentalist books and tricks.
Much mystery and speculation surrounds Corinda. His real name is believed to be Thomas William Simpson, and he is believed to have been born about 1931. There is even speculation that he never actually wrote the 13 Steps. After making a substantial amount of money, not from magic, but from novelty cards he distributed from his shops he retired to a mystery location in the home counties.
