Chris angels vd David blaine  

It's an easy one for me - David Blaine is way better. His determination, and dedication for the art of magic, and pushing life's boundaries to the limits is astounding. He's just one man, but he's done so much - more than quite a few have done their entire lives. Just when you think he's done with something, he always pushes the limits more and more. Just recently he broke the world record for holding his breath with pure oxygen for 17 minutes and 4 seconds - that is truly incredible. His card tricks are amazing as well - the specials he has always amuses me, and I'm glad he had them, for he got me into the art of magic as well.

Criss Angel, however, I don't think of as a good magician. So much of his material is way too gimmicked, or camera tricks, and stooges. Although this is a point easily countered, I think to some extent his form of magic could degrade it. It doesn't seem to me as if all the camera tricks and stooges and junk are supposed to impress somebody. I just feel that David Blaine is a more down to earth magician, and much more real. His material can be much more appreciated that Angel's.
