Ultimate Showdown of Magicians

The battle lines have been clearly drawn. Who do you think is the best overall entertainer of all time. This one is for magicians. Laymen need not apply.

[Edit] This thread isn't really a popularity contest or anything. This is more intended to see who among the stars we enjoy the most, and or possibly draw inspirtation from. I'm well aware there is no way in hell you can compare each of these artists on the same level with fair results.

I dont think you can ask a question like that, every one of those people has a complete different style. In my opinion its like comparing heavy metal to Rap, evey one has different things they look for and like in preformences. They are all very good.

In my opinion, Derren Brown is about as good as it gets. He is my idol in magic, and anyone that disagrees with me shall feel the sharp teeth of vengeance sinking into their chubby rear of ignorance. Feel free to post your own opinions about him, though. ;)

I think this is a bit of a pointless question really, I don't see the point of picking one.

If I had to, I'd go with Derren Brown, his TV shows are always very entertaining and his sleight of hand is incredible.

Houdini for sure.

1) every knows him as the worlds greatest
2) no one will ever beat him (its not possible to)
3) he was more determined than any one else, both in and outside of magic
4) he has inspired countless amounts of magician


I could go on all day about all the stuff he has done

i believe this thread was submitted just to see who the most liked magician is so theres no point in saying that it is like comparing rap to heavy metal ,we all know it but many of us wonder who other magicians believe to be the best (i hope that makes sanse).

That said i have to admit i love DERREN BROWN ,his character.................his sleight of hand (although he mostly performs mentalism and we dont get to see it)...............Derren ROCKS
