Which magician matches your performing style more?

David Stone. Which means you are very effect oriented. Which means the tricks are more important than your words and character.

Or

Jay Sankey. Which means you are very entertainment oriented. Which means your character is more important than your tricks.

For me, I know the simple stuff really packs a punch, so I focus more on the entertainment value of your words. So I'd have to say Jay Sankey.. Even though I'm not nearly as humorous as Sankey.
 
My magic theory stems mostly from Garrett Thomas, Teller and Dani Daortiz but I think I perform most like Justin Flom.

I don't see my self aligning with David Stone or Jay Sankey very well. Although I much prefer David's performances but I'm a big Sankey fan as well.
 
I like utilizing a lot of odd thinking and presentation for tricks like Tommy Cooper.

But that's as far as character and inspiration of other magicians for me goes. I do agree with a more character and message based set as opposed to the emphasis being in the props.
