The World’s Three Greatest Magicians?

Surely Lance Burton is Number one as he currently holds the title passed down from the greats “master magician”

Excuse me,

But I think that those writers who participated in these “decisions” do not know the real meaning of “MAGIC”.

The GREATEST magician(s) are those who helped others becuase they truly love the art. Dai Vernon, Paul Harris, Michael Ammar, Howard Thurston etc etc… The list goes on and on.

With all due respect; Magic is not only on TV specials.

Best.

I think the thing people dont relize is that just like houdini, David blain and criss angel know how to sell themselves. the 3 of them are by far some of the top names in the buisness to lay people but, if you ask a magician they are far down the list. With the top being people like lance burtan, dai vernon and marlo i mean come on i can do all the tricks that criss angel and blain do and just as good but, that doesnt make you great look at the people that these magicians go to for advice and who shows them the tricks they do. Because very few of the tricks seen on tv are the performers origanal you want to see origanal go look up paul harris and jay sankey

Are you serious? With the exception of Copperfield those 2 should be at the bottom of the list. You obviously know nothing about magic.

1. Ed Marlow, Doug Henning
2. Chris Kenner, Lance Burton
3. Paul Harris, Dai Vernon, P & T

i think the top 2 greatest magicains are hudiny and criss angel.
