So guys,
Lets hear a list of some of your favorite magicians. I doesn't need to just be card magicians. It can be stage magicians/cardists too.

David Stone. I love his performance.

Derren Brown, Penn & Teller, Ricky Jay, James Randi, Criss Angel...

Yeah I'm kidding with Angel; I can't watch him without cringing. All pretty mainstream but I really do think they're the best at what they do.

Criss angel is more like an entertainer more than magician.

Penn and teller are good. really dont like chris angel though.

I hate Criss Angel. I really like Daniel Garcia and Barry Taylor.

Yes we do. They are entertaining to watch, funny, and have their television on Discovery Channel. It's not about magic, but it's still pretty good.

They have their show on Showtime, it's awesome.

I love that show, but the show on Discovery Channel is much more appropriate.

I love that show! I've watched every episode. This is my favorite magician from the show:

I HIGHLY recommend you watch it. It is 10 minutes long, but worth every second. It is pure comedy magic, and actually pretty good.

yea that was great one.

I guess if you have something against nudity or language, which doesn't make much sense to me but that's your own look-out. I think BS is a more important show; it's real, serious issues (well, sometimes) that people have overlooked or been duped by rather than just urban myths. I didn't know about the Discovery channel show; I'm going to watch it now; thanks!

I have a few, all for different reasons.

Penn and Teller: I find their comedy hilarious and their, well guess mostly Penn's, stage presence amazing. I really like their attitudes towards magic and their stage act is great

Lance Burton: The class he brings to his act is inspiring; it's great to watch the grace and nostalgia that he brings to his shows.

Jeff McBride: He brings such creativity to his act, as well as being incredibly skilled. His show is more of a performance piece than just a magic act.

David blaine and derren brown, blaine got me into magic and I enjoy watching derren brown. I don't do magic anymore but I still enjoy to watch it performed. Flourishers? I'll have a think.

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 07, 2011, 12:15:43 PM »

i love d. blaine's street magic. that's the kinda stuff that i want to be able to do.

John B. · « **Reply #20 on:** October 07, 2011, 01:33:25 PM »

not a fan of david blaine either. just never really liked his performance.

Kanped · « **Reply #21 on:** October 07, 2011, 10:29:50 PM »

I think Blaine, while a very creative inventor, tries to hard to be aloof. I hate his patter and attitude. Same with Banacheck; amazing, amazing routines but no style (and talks a lot of nonsense much of the time, like Derren used to).

I forgot to mention Jerry Sadowitz before. One of the best stand-up comediens in the world. If you don't know him, you'll know his work because you probably have a few of his sleights in your routines. I've seen him produce a good dozen cards from empty hands that never leave your line of sight, while doing stand-up.

Evan · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:41:10 PM »

I don't really like David Blaine. But I like him much better than Chriss angel

RF · « **Reply #23 on:** October 08, 2011, 08:05:24 PM »

I think Patrick Kun and Daniel Garcia are my favourites

Evan · « **Reply #24 on:** October 08, 2011, 08:13:01 PM »

Oh yea, I love Patrick Kun. He has great tricks and he teaches them very well.
