Comment (Note - I am the original editor, plus I happen to know David Penn at an aquaintence level. Right, that's the COI out of the way, let's get on with the comments LOL!) He has appeared on National television (major channels, like BBC2 and ITV1) in several programmes, both on screen and as consultant. He was also a Live finalist on Britain's Got Talent. He has won major magic competitions, not just minor club-level ones. Here is a news item - not a major publication, but it does at least verify some of the information in the article: Stephen!

 * Nice! Add it to the article and expand it using it. I'm not actually questioning the guy's notability, so once it's added I'll withdraw it.-- Laun  chba  ller  11:53, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. Unfortunately, REFLINKS doesn't work on this terminal here; it has a tendancy to convert random ASCII characters (generally square brackets) into a different form.  Rather a good magic trick if you can do it, but not very helpful on Wikipedia.  Would you mind converting the reference into something a bit more usable, please? Stephen!

 * Done, and withdrawn.-- Laun  chba  ller  13:09, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
