Hey all,

I know this is related to who you have seen and personal tastes, but I am interested in who your top ten comedy magicians might be...

I have seen them all for over 65 years. There has never been another magician in my long life who is as naturally, spontaneously, unpredictably funny as Aldo.

With Aldo, it's not an act. He is just inherently hilarious.

Best regards,

I don't know if I can comprise a better list of ten than what Magic Magazine had and I certainly would have several of the same ones they had. However, I do know that I would've definitely put Harry Anderson on that list!!

I don't have a top ten ready, but Dana Daniels would definitely be in it.

Juan Tamariz, Tom Mullica and Del Ray aren't in the top ten?

David Williamson and Gergory Wilson are funny without scripts. They can just riff on whatever sitauation they're in. That's a gift.
