Just Like That A5 letterpress print

£15.00

Here’s one where I might be showing my age! “Just like that” was the catchphrase of TV comedian and magician Tommy Cooper (19 March 1921 – 15 April 1984). Tommy usually wore a red fez when performing, and specialised in magic tricks that appeared to fail, but he was actually really rather talented. Classic British comedy. I must have watched hours of it as a child, and though not all the jokes have aged well it still makes me laugh now.

I just lost half an hour down a YouTube rabbit hole trying to find you a clip that showed the catchphrase, but it has proven surprisingly elusive. Anyway, if you know it you know it.
