[dmjohnson]

jay sankey is more of a card guy though

 

[knowledge]

Sankey is just as much of a coin guy as cards. he is much better with coins in my opinion!

I also love watching Justin Miller do coin magic, I havent really seen much coin stuff tho.

A few perhaps not mentioned, as I agree with, Kurtz, Stone, Troy Hooser and David Roth..actually, Chris nailed many of them.

Here are a few others that are very good.

Joe Rindfleisch
Nathan Kranzo
Mike Rubinstein
Slydini

Miguel Angel Gea. Great thinking, sick skills, awesome presentation, and a very nice guy. Others don't come even close.

Thats a hard question to answer. First of all, its not T nelson downs. He was certainly one of the greatest for everything he did but he couldn't be the best because he was standing on the ground while the rest of us get to stand on his shoulders.

If i'm making a list based on skill, and not (necessarily) entertainment value. The guys who can do crazy stuff that others can't do and the guys who do it the smoothest. The list would go something like this:

Giacomo Bertini
Reed McClintock
Kurtis Kam
Kainoa Harbottle
Rune Klan
Eric Jones
Gary Kurtz
Troy Hoosier
Ponta the Smith

Wow im drawing a blank now. But those are a few.

 

[Orb]

Hmm depends on which genres I'd judge them on.
To me, I would say the best coin magicians are Giacomo Bertini, Kainoa Harbottle and David Roth since I love their techniques and they're the ones who inspired me the most.
But on the other hand, if I'd judge on performance, excluding the ones I've already mentioned, I'd probably add Eric Jones and Michael Rubinstein.

But if I'd stop being an over-analytic ass and get to the point I'd just say Giacomo Bertini.

 

[Chicken]

Haven't been on the coin board in a while.
