I was wandering if people would care to post their top 10 magicians of the 20th century.

P.S. I'll be adding mine after I've had a think.

Top of my head as they came out....sure they might not be "the best" technically or however you wanna put it...except for burger...but they influenced me A TON and I am sure a lot of the general public TOO and fella magicians. Plus they kind of broke the rules and elevated our art into new places. Which is probably or goals as magicians anyway.

Hmmm....whatever happened to that one fellow...what's his name? Verner? Wingfield? Seems I shoulda heard of him somewhere along the way...and so should have others.

Steve

The famous British TV producer John Fisher recently reported that John Calvert is one of World's Greatest Magicians according to the Magic Circle in London and is being honored by having his image on a British postage stamp this month. 20,000 international shows&counting,now that has got to be a record, John will celebrate his 94 birthday soon. He is currently touring NJ, PA, and IL during the month of March. He will make a return engagement at the Magic Castle the last week in June 2005. He will be returning this year on June 22nd. for a lecture/show in Las Vegas where it was reported he had the highest attendance of any magician when he appeared there last year. He is booked in London for the 100 year Magic Circle Celebration during the month of July. His life has been Magic and not to put him on your list, many would say you are making a mistake!
