I haven't met these "Pros" you see on Ellusionist, T11 and stuff, but when I was in Paris on a school trip I met a magician called Guillaume, from Animagie. He was such a cool guy. Simple moves that made my entire school group go "OMG!!". It was good, we had a pretty cool convo after that discussing moves and artists.

Anyone else meet him?

Allan Ackerman, Paul Vigil, Armando Lucero, Danny Archer, David Blaine, Penn Jillette, Jason England, Robert Alan, Dan Buck, Dave Buck, Jeff McBride, Apollo Robbins, Paul Wilson, Wayne Dobson... is all I can think of at the moment.

All great guys, learned so much from them all. Go to a few conventions and I am sure you will run into a lot of these guys.

I've met a few local pros, though the only name that may be recognized around here is Paul Gertner. I attended a seminar he was giving on business last month. Really nice guy.

Don't know the point of the name dropping thread......but here goes anyway:

Wayne Houchin
Lee Asher
Jay Sankey
David Merry
Simon Lovell
Jason Palter (Red Carpet, iKnow)
Bill Abbott (The Thing)
Aaron Patterson (Icarus Effect, Optical Dillusion)
Daniel Madison (through emails only)
Steven Kline
Michael Ammar (this summer at Sorcerer's Safari Camp)
Aaron Fisher (this summer at Sorcerer's Safari Camp)
.....

Those are only the "known" magicians....I've met tons more who are working professionals who might not be "known" to anyone outside of Toronto :)
