ChEssManiaC 1, David's (Copperfield) od the 'Laser Illusion' was impeccable. He is a master performer who like all geniuses, is not afraid to surround himself with others who, in ways, are as or more inventive than he alone. I book, produce and promote Illusion shows and have been working with the best, over the years. And David is deservedly, a legend! And a gentleman.

I've always liked magic shows especially live performances. Starting in 1969 my wife and I enjoyed seeing the live shows in Las Vegas especially when the shows could be watched close up. You give a table captain a gambling chip of sufficient value you would get ringside seats. We saw Penn & Teller, the Pendragons, and other important and up and coming magicians of that time. The only show we walked out on early was Seigfried & Roy. They kept reminding the audience to buy their overpriced, schlock souvenirs for sale in the lobby after the show. We did not pay a hefty price for a ticket to get advertisements. We enjoyed all the other performances. 😁

I made it all the way to number 2 and was pissed off "Where's Penn & Teller's bullet catch?" Number 1 was a pleasant surprise.

......Teller trick-I am speechless !....

still a video I watch once in a while

I could go for the rest of my life never learning another trick, if I could just know how to do that walk on water thing Dynamo did. The other stuff was cool too, but hot damn! Of course, the greatest magic trick of all was getting me to sit here for two hours and watch without skipping to the top 10.

Im surprised nothing from Cyril Takayama was on here. Wonderful performer and he still surprises me with effects that blow me away.

This never fails to amaze me, I'd watch this video anytime.

I don't like how people hate on David Blaine. He single handedly made magic relevant again, and in a way that people could relate to at the time. On the street, with real, unsuspecting people, at the height of the reality TV craze. I didn't like his later, hiding in a box or freezing in ice spectacles, to be honest, but he did things we'd never seen before and made way for the hundreds of street magicians on KZread.

The long, televised events with the large timer at the corner of the screen while all we saw was him still sitting in the same spot, eyes closed, while some reporter told us how many hours and minutes it's been when we can already see the clock in real-time, just wasn't interesting television for me.

Amazing tricks. Thank you so much for your excellent dramatic presentation.

penn and teller are the best magicians ever! just saw them yesterday and they still got it, great performance!

Penn and Teller are just absolute legends. It continuously baffels me how knowledgeable they are and how quickly things get picked up by these two.

Teller, David Copperfield, Lance Burton. The only three actual magician legends. The rest are forgotten or forgettable.

Ok, the one crucial detail this program has left out is David Copperfield "Flying". "But, they included that one!" you may say. Indeed they did, but that is not the amazing part of his trick. Flying on the stage is mundane. No, what was truly amazing was right after his trick, they cut to a camera outside the venue. He comes out, thanks all for watching, then flies away like superman. And that seared into my brain like an internal tattoo.

1:55:39 "What is they charged him even? For jay walking on the rivuhhh?" Gufffaw What a fucking goof!

the problem i have with the chris angel water tank trick. is the response the other magicians get. what are they talking about with trap doors and such. the tank was pushed against the wall. covering the front of the tank would allow the wall itself to be pulled up...allowing the girl to move into the front of the tank. which extends past the wall. when she is in the false wall drops back down. trick over.

#10 I remember seeing this on TV and it was so astonishing I couldn't believe it, still can't!

this video deserves to have at least 100 million

There's only a small group of people shown watching it and they are all grouped tightly together. This trick is done with perspective I think. Similar to a photo of a room put in front of a camera can lead one to think the photo is actually the room. Something similar is done here I think with the aid of mirrors.

I understand that this is British TV special...but they sure seemed to put the British magicians up on a pedestal. They made fun of David Copperfield a lot, but although he's cheesy, he was one of the first to truly turn a magic show into something more akin to theatre. He was one of the first to start adding theatrical story telling and drama into his pieces. The became more like performances pieces than magic tricks.

its hard to say which one i would place at the top, i really loved the Tommy Cooper's Multiplying Bottles, i wouldn't put it as number one though. honestly, i think my absolute favorite one would be Harry Blackstone Jnr's Floating Lightbulb trick. i loved how he did that and it was truly magical for me.
