Searched and surprised that I couldn't find a similar post on this site... past or present, who is (or was) your favourite magician to watch?
I'll kick off with mine; Aldo Colombini. He had such a warm personality and gentle humour that you felt you were his friend. Never mind watching him perform magic... you'd be happy just talking to him. Much missed. |

I don’t know that I have just one, but along the same lines as Aldo, who I like a lot, is Karrell Fox. I suspect Karrell had some influence on Aldo’s style and magic.

Frank Garcia--watching him perform or lecture is still inspiring after so many years.

Though I don't agree with everything Vernon said, he was both brilliant and obsessive, a powerful combination. Ricky Jay had technical skill and a presentation that was both high class and underworld sensibilities in an unlikely but perfect combination.

Tommy Wonder.
He always make perfect the effects stronger and more deceptive. Even in very complicated way. He always wanted perfect in all aspects. And he also build himself most of the props. |
