I would have to go with Cardini as the way he could produce deck after deck of cards from nowhere blew me away and his assistant swan I think was her name was stunning.

Saying that Mr Sankey is pretty cool too.

At the moment my favourite is Lennart Green. He's brilliant with cards, very original, and I like his sense of humor.

If you live in Britain and haven't heard of him, then you can't be a magician :wink:

My favourites are Oz Pearlman, Jay Sankey, Lee Asher (I like his effects) and De'vo, althought he is not a magician.

Edit: I didn't actually know who Lennart Green was until I searched on google, and I have never know his name! He is amazing also :D

I am glad you replied! i was begining to think that (for one reason or another) people here don't like the magic circle and that id said something to offend everyone.

I think he is great watching him stopped me giving up magic and made me practice 4 times harder!

I've never seen him, but he must be good if he is the president of the largest magic club in the world :wink:

Shame the YMC doesn't have anything in Scotland, although they might be as the old president of the YMC said he was hoping that the new President would do it

:?

Or something :wink:

I think we have all forgotten one of the best magicians of all time that's right good old Sooty even though he was yellow and quite short he was able to perform some amazing feats single handed.

One of the other good things about this mysterious bear was that he never exposed any of his tricks he didn't even tell sue or sweep.

Sorry I'm in a silly mood

i must say its got to be - Lance Burton

I find him to be a very relaxed and laid back type performer, yep some of his stuff may be easy to some- thats not the point.. he produces the same stuff in a very modern and perfect theme

Most of his stuff is mind blowing
