You know Dan and Dave are technically two magicians, right? They might be twins, but not of the conjoined variety.

I only really replied to this thread to say that, but as I'm here, in no particular order:

1. Lennart Green
2. Juan Tamariz
3. Derren Brown
4. Jeff McBride
5. Ian Rowland

All of those five have a superb grasp of presentation and drama, and have magnificent technical skills to back it up.

EDIT: I think Apollo Robbins and James Brown need to get honourable mentions as well.

in NO particular order

lennart green
Apollo Robbins
daniel garcia
wayne houchin
dan white


although i feel i should also mention Chris Kenner, Homer Liwag, Arthur Trace, Topaz, Bill Malone and Derren Brown


and teedee, i think Jeff Mcbride had a clear grasp on presentation and drama back in the 80's but he's in much need of an update, his act is so outdated. Not saying his skill is, just his act

This is in a particular order =P

Wayne Houchin
David Blaine (Mainly because he got be started in the whole journey)
Daniel Garcia
Derren Brown
Eric Jones

My honorable mentions would be David Stone, Apollo Robbins, and Jason England. Though I am assuming that we are only dealing with those that are alive today =D

So, this statistically demonstrates that you're most likely to be someone's favourite magician if your first intial is D and/or your last intitial is B. Most popular first name is David, and most popular surname is Brown, so somewhere out there is the ultimate magician David Brown.

You wrote "magicians" and then put Dan&Dave in the list?

It's like saying Justin Bieber is a singer and Kristen Stewart an actress...

Otherwise, my list would looks like this :

1) John Bannon
2) David Williamson
3) Simon Aronson
4) Lennart Green
5) Pit Hartling

John Bannon, Eric Jones, David Williamson and Homer Liwag should be in there.. Why do we only have 5 spots? :(

(See? No flourishers! Actual magicians! :) )

In no particular order. But the ones I enjoy watching perform and creating their material. And yes, I know Dan and Dave are two persons, but they compliment each other so great, so they go in as one entry :)

- Ricky Jay
- Michael Ammar
- Dan and Dave
- Derren Brown
- David Williamson

Some of the responses in this thread make me somewhat sad.

In no particular order.
-Juan Tamariz
-Jon Armstrong
-David Williamson
-Mac King

this last person isn't really a magician, but his sleight and misdirection are definitely world class
-Bob Arno

In no particular order:
1. Chris Kenner
2. Dan and Dave(I know they are two people, but you never see anything by just Dan or just Dave, so I'm counting them as one)
3. Daniel Garcia
4. Paul Harris
5. Derren Brown

The only order I will be able to give is:

1-Dai Vernon
2-Ricky Jay
3-Daniel Madison

After that, I would say I admire the dextirity and technical know-how of Steve Forte and Jason England.
