I want to know who you think is or was the most prolific magic creator of all time.
I have thought about this a lot and my mind has changed many times, but at this point I believe Dan Harlan is the most prolific magic creator of all time. He's a part of a very short list with Ed Marlo, Jim Steinmeyer,a Houdini and maybe a small handful of others.
He taught Copperfield the thumbs up trick.
His effects Hovercard, Cardtoon are two of the most pirated tricks of all time.
He created the Impromptu Linking Rubber Bands. It's one of those tricks everyone just assumes was a classic.
His effect Crazy Cash is perhaps the best mismade bill available and the method had been reworked and re-released by many magicians.
His effect Starcle is a truly beautiful piece of magic.
What stands out to me is that each of these pieces are completely different and they are all classics. It's also difficult to see where they came from. What other magic trick out there is like Starcle? What magic trick out there is like Card Toon? That kind of strange on their own.
And the methods. They are new too. It blows my mind! He's a loving legends in my book.
