Anyone here actually met a professional magician?

I've slept with Bizzaro.... wait.. sorry.

If you go to any major magic convention, you can meet a myriad of people. This past weekend I was performing at Midwest Magic Jubilee and had the honor of hanging out with Justin Miller, Chris Kenner (And of course the ever bubbly Katie), and Jay Scott Berry.

Shaking hands is one thing. Being able to hang out with them like real people is a far more impressive accomplishment. Simon Lovell is great for that kinda stuff.

I have met Paul Daniels twice, and we have spoken a bit. I am good friend with Terry Seabrooke and a lot of other UK magicians who earn money from the profession.

I've met a few professional Australian magicians, but nobody here will know any of them.

I know Matthew J Dowden quite well, and I know Jonathan Pickard.

I've interviewed Kranzo, Mike Skutt, Andi Gladwin... does that count??

Of course a 'big name' does not define a professional, I myself am a pro, as are some of my close buddies. But I know you were asking for relatively big names.
