Who is your favorite magician, and why?
I enjoy old tapes of Mark Wilson. He was so clean cut, friendly and likeable.
This new wave of dark magicians creeps me out. David Blaine, someone should teach him to smile, and Criss Angel? What's that? I saw about 2 minutes of his TV show and turned it off. Who is he trying to be - Marilyn Manson?
What ever happened to entertainment that was clean, fun and family friendly? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

My fave would have to be Jeff Magnus McBride, but part of the reason is that I know him personally. He's got to one of the top three most interesting people I've ever met.

Criss Angel has a rough opening song " Mind Freak "
and I suspect a lot of camera dubbing is done before we see
the finished show.
But he gets me to thinking outside of my own box on my tricks !

Big trick guys - Penn & Teller

Small trick guys - The Amazing Johnathon is amazing.

Any street magician who can fool me while I am no more than 5 feet away gets kudos from me.
