yeah but the stuff you hate him for isn't magic so can you class what he did as bad magic? as a magician he was pretty amazing!
it's like saying i hate that footballer Gordan Ramsey because of all those shows about cooking he does!, sorry, touch of a rant there.

i wouldn't say i hate any magician, but if i had to go with anyone i'd have to say i don't like the way Tudor goes about it, despite the fact he's one of the greatest card workers around!

I like them all in moderation. You should have put a voting button that said 'other' and allow people to explain themselves.

I wonder how many people will say that they hate Blaine (Hate is a very strong word - you should have used the word 'dislike') yet watch all of this TV specials over the weekend so they can moan about the fine detail.

Don;t get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of any of them!

Angel for me too. Most of tricks are not the same without the camera edits. I can't be doing with his attitude either.

I hate no one... especially someone that is worthy of the title "Magician" (which don't include the majority of those that claim said label... think about it for a while and you may just figure out why).

I do however loathe anyone that misuses magic for the sake of personal gain/conquest or the manipulation of others. Believe it or not, this is a massive field that goes far beyond the parameters most consider upon the initial reading of the idea (and sadly, I've not time nor space for outlining it all here and now... but soon... there is a book in the works folks!)

I guess the easy way of saying it would be to say I just don't like mean people, no matter who they are (or think they may be).

I don't dislike any of them, they are all ok in moderation. I chose Blaine for the simple fact that if I had to pick one I could never watch again it would be him. (hope that makes sense)

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

I hate Geoffrey Durham because he's simply so damned good at what he does. This is the man who not only did an unusual production on Countdown, but chose to produce a real bowling ball, and then let it thud to the floor to prove it was real. That's just showing off... :D
