Patrick "Pat" Page (March 17, 1929 to February 11, 2010) was a stage magician born in Dundee, Scotland. He became a professional magician at the age of 26 and worked at Davenport's magic shop for fifteen years.[1]. He married Margaret Manzie in 1950 and was the youngest of six siblings. His daughter is Janette, his son Jeremy.

He appeared on The Paul Daniels Magic Show and was an uncredited consultant to the film Casino Royale[2]. He worked as an advisor to Derren Brown[3]. He appeared in, or advised films and television shows: the 2007 film Magicians[4], Agatha Cristie Poirot:The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim (1990)[5], Heroes of Magic (2000), Tales of the Unexpected: Season 5, Episode 5 Stranger in Town (23 May 1982)[6], Derren Brown Presents the 3D Magic Spectacular (2009)[4].

On his death Jack Delvin, president of The Magic Circle described him as the "magician's magician"[2]. Magician Wayne Dobson described him as a "great friend, mentor and magical adviser"[7]. Other magicians affirm Page's skills and legacy[8][9][10][11]

Pat Page is known for his work on a number of magic tricks, including the Topit and the trick Easy Money.

In addition to inventing magic tricks, he published books and DVDS and advised professional magicians. Many of his routines are used by professional magicians including Doug Henning, Fred Kaps and Raphael Benatar[12] . He published articles in the magician's magazine Pabular[13].

Topit

The Topit was invented by Pat Page[14]. It is a utility item (a type of hidden pouch) that is used by a magician to conceal items or make them appear to vanish[15].

Easy Money

This trick was invented by Pat Page. The effect is that blank pieces of paper are shown, the blank paper then appears to turn into paper money. This is a type of Bill Switch [16] published as a DVD[17][18] and in the book Magic Page by Page. Easy Money has been re-released by Greg Wilson[19], in the DVD Wilson attributes his method to Page.
