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. in 1950, he opened a magic studio where he sold all types of magic, but catered especially to mentalists. later, he took over the magic shop in oxford street,london which was originally run by dick chavel. this store was at street level so catered mainly to the lay public, so many of the items sold were either practical jokes or beginners' tricks, but other items and small illusions for semi-professional magicians and hobbyists were also sold over the counter. around the same period, corinda had the magic concession in hamleys toy shop in regent street.
