The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

S.W.Erdnase...no doubt

I am intrigued bobon...how can you say that SW Erdnase is the best? number one...he is very much dead, and so doesn't really qualify...but secondly...and perhaps most interestingly...you never saw him perform.
that's a bit like me saying Trainspotting is the best movie ever made, having just read the plot, but never seen the movie. You are of course entitled to your opinion...just curious to know why? |

Maximilian Rubinowski. No doubt about that. He kills, rocks and everything and eats all the other sissies for lunch.

This is my list of top 5 I've every seen.
5. Daniel Garcia 4. Rune Klan 3. Joshua Jay 2. John Guastaferra 1. R. Paul Wilson There are so many....these just came to mind and are in no particular order. Honorable mentions to go my buddy Steve Valentine....although more of an actor nowadays, he is pure magic when he performs. |

Max was just fooling around and made the comment "Let's do it the easy way..." It wasn't editing though. I just hit the wrong button. Max was a worker, all right. The guy was a busker in the late 1940's and that's about as tough a crowd as you're gonna get. The effect on the tape had two possible methods but I can't get into that here. Steven Youell |

The question is very subjective and open for much debate. I assume you are asking in regards to people who are still living, so here would be a few off the top of my head (in no particular order):
There are at least a dozen others so this list is by no means complete, but these are guys I have personally spent time with - just my two cents.
