    Dynamo and Derren Brown are my favourite. David Blaine has obviously done some amazing things too :P

    I didnt think this was something people generally follow, let alone have a "favorite". The most magic Ive seen is either that magic show they gave us in primary school or david blaine stuck in a box on tv.

    Also op I should note that Kagawa is Japanese, not Chinese, just incase you wanted to fix your sig :pac:

    Derren Brown by a mile, due to the fact that he explains, at length, what he was doing/the real purpose of the illusion/how it was done etc..

    I'm not into any of them.

    This has been a useful contribution to the thread, hasn't it?

    Read his books, you'll end up confused as to whether or not anything he says is true, including the stuff in the books.

    it wasnt like that, it was like that

    even though he messed up, it was part of the act. in reality he was a very gifted magician and an excellent comedian

    Exactly. Most people are naming the only two or three magicians they've every heard of as their 'favourite'.

    Used to be one on Sky 1 a few years back, forget what it was called but the guy doing it wore a black mask over his head & wore all black clothes. That was good one.
