Blaine probably, I do not like his gory effects though.

An after though, Copperfield used to be a street magician in his first magic specials do not remember them too well.

After the penguin lecture I'm impressed from Frank Deville

Ryan Tricks Is my Favourite its just amazing how he presents . I am a big fan of that guy.

I like Gregory Wilson.

Of course David Blaine, I thanked him when we met for expanding the perception of where magic is possible. Of course, now there are so many wonerful Magicians it is hard to issolate people to add to the list. Brent Braun is wonderful, Chad Long just entertains the heck out of me, Greg Wilson is personality unleashed, I loved David Copperfields sleight of hand even more than his large effects. Marion Boykin was very insprational to me. Danny Goldsmith weigh's in for the younger crowd(yes he was performing on the streets.) And my favorite Magiciian of all, Bill Palmer (aka Merlin the Magician) who performed his act every year until the year 2000 at the Texas Renaissance Festival. First real magician I ever met, very inspirational.

Now that I think of it... You are my favorite Street Magician.

Blaine by a mile
Derren Brown - still a street magician IMHO but not seen as one which is pretty cool
Peter Turner - same as above
Dynamo

When I say still a street magician, I mean - I've seen them perform for random strangers in the street or people at Cafés as a mentalist. But it's not for theatre and it's close up so I count it personally for me

Not sure he's a street magician, but James Brown

100% Blaine. He reinvigorated magic & interested a whole new generation to the craft. Many years earlier, Doug Henning did similar, but he wasn't a street performer.

David blaine and derren brown

Igor de Kort doing the flying mask get my vote.

When I was young I used to watch dynamo but now his magic seem a bit fake to my with all the camera cuts

My favorite street magicians are Warpo and Gazzo.

Will go with Street Performers as World Class Buskers- Blaine did a lot for the so called street magician style of magic

No particular order-

Chris Capehart
Cellini
Nick Nickolas
Gazzo
Genius Clown Rob Torres

I categorize Blaine's style as "guerilla magic." And I think he's a very good magician.

For street busking I like Cellini, Kozmo, and Gazzo. Gazzo is fearless when performing. Kozmo and Cellini are super likeable.
I would have loved to have seen Harry Anderson busk. I love that guy.

Difference between doing street magic on television under controlled conditions and actually street performing is huge. Gregory Wilson is not a street performer and did Blaine who I think is great ever make money working the streets? I live near Venice Beach and the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica and have seen a lot of street acts most only once. Gazzo was on the promenade once as was Kozmo. Most acts I saw were terrible at getting a crowd.

Second the previous post.

A lot of performers I have seen aren't great at building crowds.

Gazzo is the best I've ever seen.
