canasta, lennart green, derren brown, sadowitz, kreskin (isn't that WILD! - love it when he says that)...

ahem...

who else? i love his books, would love to see him work, lewis jones...

mr. carlyle/fowler, and oooh dave forrest...and david berglas...

Of course there's Penn and Teller and Derren Brown, but I also enjoy watching others such as Paul Daniels, Paul Zennon, and Tommy Cooper (if he counts as a magician :p)

I'm another one who doesn't really like Ammar. I appreciate he's a great magician, just like pcwells I just don't really like his style

Quite like the contrasting styles of John Archer and Martin Lewis

I think Darwin Ortiz is fantastic. And he demonstrates a lot of the performance techniques he taught in 'Strong Magic'.

Also Derren Brown, he has a genious way of thinking and I love his take on OOTW. His sleight of hand is admirable too as shown in his 3 card routine in Devils Picturebook.

Luke Jermay, I love his presentational style. Very down to earth but powerful stuff.

I like Jay Sankey's presentational style. He is like Marmite our Sankey, but his presentation is spot on. He does keep this simple.

Also Max Maven, Juan Tamariz, Dave Forrest and Ian Moran.

Lets not foget the genious that is Paul Harris!!

I actually think Brian Tudor is an exceptional card magician, even though he does have quite the attitude problem.

Oz Pearlman
Derren Brown
Jerry Sadowitz
Mark Lewis
Bill Malone
Shawn Farquhar
Ricky Jay
R Paul Wilson
Angela Funovits

(Did you spot the deliberate mistake? )

That was no mistake - you know you love him really.

Actually, I do. I have a great deal of respect for him, but the pseudo-aggressive by-play is just too much fun. Wait... we are talking about Ricky Jay here, aren't we?
