Paul Daniels' wife, Debbie McGee, has said messages from fans are "truly amazing" after it was revealed that the magician has terminal cancer.
The 77-year-old fell at home and was rushed to hospital suspected of suffering a stroke, although he was later diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, his son has said.
McGee wrote on Twitter: "I wish I could answer all your wonderful messages individually but there are so many. They are all appreciated so much.
"Paul and I had no (idea) of how people felt. Truly amazing. Thank you."
Daniels' son, Gary Daniels, one of his three children by his first wife Jacqueline Skipworth, has also been calling his father with messages of support.
I wish I could answer all your wonderful messages individually but there are so many. They are all appreciated so much. Paul and I had no

Another of the entertainer's sons, Martin Daniels, said the family do not know how long his father has left.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "There's no treatment which can help him. Doctors haven't said how many weeks or months he might have - and we haven't asked.
"He knows things are not in his hands now and we are living in the knowledge every day is a bonus.
"It is unbearably difficult. He has said before 'When It's your time, it's your time' and that's how he is trying to face up to things."
The entertainer remained upbeat while undergoing tests in hospital which later revealed he had a "rapidly growing" brain tumour, his son said.
"A couple of days after I arrived to see Dad in hospital he was up and walking about trying to cheer up all the other patients.
"He said to me 'Right, I am going to have a wander round now and see if everyone is all right'.
Daniels, who is said to be "lucid", is now at his Thames-side home surrounded by his family, said his son, adding that the support of his fans had given them "tremendous strength at what is a very difficult time".
