Who is the best magician in the world today?

If we look at it in terms of age and popularity Shin Lim is definitely the best of the new generation But in the technical part there’s a Spanish master named Juan Tamariz have you heard of him Maybe the general public doesn’t know him much but among magicians he’s a legend The manipulations he does in card magic his humor and his unique weird style Even David Blaine said he’s the most influential living card magician If we look not at being famous on TV but at the pure technical quality of the work Tamariz’s influence is huge

I only recognize the old wolf David Copperfield bro The guy’s been doing this for so many years he even made the Statue of Liberty disappear Now just because there are new ones we shouldn’t forget the legends Copperfield’s Las Vegas shows are still sold out no one can top his big stage illusions and storytelling His technique his performance his show all perfect He was even once in the news because of his girlfriend Claudia Schiffer So it’s not just tricks he’s the king of show business I think he’s also the highest earning one I heard he even has his own island in the Bahamas isn’t that proof of success The newcomers are fine but being a brand like Copperfield is something else

Honestly I say David Blaine He’s the one who made street magic popular When we first saw his close up tricks on TV we were literally shocked And those endurance shows what are those Freezing in ice holding his breath under water He does something way beyond magic he pushes his physical limits That shows he’s more of a performance artist than just a magician so his impact is much bigger That courage to take risks makes him the best

I think the best magician is Shin Lim He won America’s Got Talent twice and literally turned card magic into art When you watch his shows you don’t even think about how the trick is done you just live in the moment The cards melt and evaporate in his hands It also adds such a good atmosphere that he performs silently you completely focus on his finger skills The tricks he does are so smooth you wouldn’t believe it I think he’s at the top of modern magic right now

Undoubtedly Penn & Teller Why Because they’re both very funny and sometimes they reveal the secrets of tricks and then perform a more surprising version of it Their Fool Us show is already a phenomenon Their knowledge about magic is so deep it’s almost impossible to figure out a trick Teller’s silent attitude combined with Penn’s showmanship creates something truly unique They’re not just magicians they’re like critics of magic I think they do the smartest work

I think the best in this business is Derren Brown Not the ones who do card tricks but the mentalist He doesn’t do magic he does psychology He reads people’s minds somehow directs them His shows are more like social experiments than tricks Especially famous in England My mind always stays on him I mean sleight of hand is fine but playing with the mind is more scary and I think it’s a harder art
