Favorite non-living magician?

I'd have to go with Dai Vernon, because he really was a card master and did alot for the progression of card magic.
Dai Vernon by far. The man was, in all respects, a genius. I'd recommend his 'Revelations' series to....anyone and everyone.
I voted other for two reasons:
1) The majority of dead magicians were not represented in the small sampling provided, so statisticly the odds are greater of me liking someone who isn't named that i don't know exists than one of the 7 people listed.
2) I wanted to vote for Robert-Houdin but TOTALLY didn't see his name....

Tommy Wonder is my favorite. Has to be his presentation and love for magic that was so contagious.
i dont TOTALLY know....but i TOTALLY wish we could vote twice....then i would TOTALLY vote for Thurston with Houdini
TOTALLY gnarly, dude!
Right, back to the magic. Tommy Wonder is yet another good choice, and I do feel that Robert Hodin should get more credit than he does nowadays, you know, being the pioneer of close-up magic as we know it and everything

robert Houdin. Period. Genius.
Houdin-i. As you all know after reading the secret life of houdini that the i mean "like." like Houdin. I like him, he's the man.
but it was a toss up between him and Dia, because without Dia, most of modern magic would be less than it is, but Houdin was first. Sorry Professor.

I voted other because Cardini didn't make it on the list. He just happens to be the greatest card and billiard ball manipulator of all time. Not only that but he was a master of presentation. The Suave Deceiver is the greatest.
