What is going on with the world's best Illusionists? Are we loosing them? First Roy Horn, Michael Jackson, David Copperfield and, well I quess we can include Criss.
I really don't like the way ( Roy can't help it, and Criss has an ego bigger then the universe)the top conjurors are behaving themselves. I don't think Copperfield did anything, but he should have left her alone. Their actions are hurting us common folks who rely on the public's interest to make a living. Magic has gone along way from the old stereotypes that all magicians steal and are dorks, but we have now taken on a new stereotype which should be popular in the coming months and years, us having alter-egos bigger then the Universe and rapists. With all this talk about Copperfield, should we worry about him? or should we worry about how the whole magic community will look as a whole? I think someone really needs to ask David if he is considering retirement after his trials are over. Why can't the world hear less about the negatives of the magic community and more about the positives? Why can't the world see that there are very well mannered performers out there, such as Lance Burton, Kirby Vanburch and Rick Thomas? How many times when your going to work do you hear of anyone talking about Lance or Rick? Both of them in my opinion are way more accomplished then Criss Angel IF it is our "secrecy" which is no longer "secret" that keeps people secpisous of us? I am having a hard time getting contacts, I got a booth out to help promote my show in the square in the town where I live in, very few people stopped by to see what it was all about ( ANd it was at a special fair event! so I wasn't destracting anyone)

I think if you want to talk about the top illusionist you need to add Kalin and Jinger to the list. They are outstanding....and will be at the Castle at the end of November.

Many believe that when you're watching Kalin and Jinger you're watching the best there is.....period.
It wouldn't be a stretch at all to imagine them (with the appropriate technical and financial backing) ascending to the throne. |
