David Blaine or Criss Angel?

Blaine All The Way I Hate Angels. Stupid As Camera Magician.

I heard somewhere that Blaine stuffs up 90% of the time, which means he isn't that good.

Posts like these are why this topic inevitably goes absolutely nowhere.

You either have people typing out one-liners that serve no purpose, or you have people throwing more gasoline on the fire over at the rumor mill, all the while knowing full well that they can't possibly back up any of their claims.

Do any of you actually listen to yourself when you talk? Does anybody do that anymore?
 
I've never been particularly impressed by either of them.

I don't like Blaine's mystic angle. I don't like Angel's supernatural angle.

But fundamentally, I don't think Blaine is that good a magician. Angel just seems more skilled, and I think he has a better attitude toward other magicians - and magic as a whole - than Blaine does.

I've never known anyone to say "I met Criss Angel, and he's a jackass."

But I've heard that about David Blaine...

Interesting you say that, because my experience has been the complete opposite.
