Tony Shiels might argue about being placed in the "Alive" category.

I have some to add as well. Although I have not witnessed in person those who died before I was born, I have seen footage of their acts.
Note: These are not in order of ranking. 1) Fr. Cyprian Murray 2) Bob Steiner 3) Jeff McBride 4) Houdini 5) Pop Haydn

Hey, Police Magician, good to see you on this site too. I agree about Pop, but I'm more of a Whit Haydn fan. Don't know what happened to him, but he was pretty good too.

Ah, Blitz must be a former student of the Chavez school of magic. Dale Salwak is also a very fine performer and a great guy. I never had the pleasure to meet Ben and Marion Chavez or Neil Foster. I would have liked to.

You got that right - Dale is wonderful person and very fine magician! And with all respect, he would fall into my top 15 magician list. |

PS One does not have to be a Chavez student to appreciate the finest that magic has to offer.
