So many, for so many different reasons. Paul Daniels. Tommy Cooper. David Copperfield. Simon Drake. Robert-Houdin. Devant. The Maskelynes. Tarbell. Bobo. Hay. Patrick Page. Lewis Ganson. Ken Brooke.
And the inspirational performers today - Whit Haydn, Penn and Teller, Derren Brown, Ponta, Luis Piedrahita.

Again, all for different reasons. But all with a touch of greatness.

1. Tommy Wonder---The greatest magician ever! Close-up, stage, he was the goods. His attention to detail and humor were unrivaled.
2. Paul Harris---His creativity and originality are still unsurpassed!
3.Dai Vernon---for his simplicity and naturalness.
4. David Copperfield---For his showmanship and all round: "How the F***(flip) did he do that???

Undoubtedly Paul Harris is my hero of all times.

The Boy Scouts of America-For giving the Cubs "Magic Month"
The magician at school when I was about in the 3rd or 4th grade The old Southern Assemblies
Bill Bixby's The Magician
And like everyone here in the Mid-South, Dick Williams and his Magicland!
