I'm going with the Professor. No one created more moves and effects than Vernon. He's the guy that everyone should aspire to imitate, if you want to imitate people.

If one person on earth could be immortal, I wish Vernon could've been. He was the best card handler in his time... whoops, I mean.. ever!

From what I've read I'll have to go with Vernon as well. Does anyone know if there is any performance footage of him?

Revelations is a great set of videos to watch him perform. He was well past his prime at the time these were shot, but still better than most of todays performers.

Vernon is my choice, but I think it is so close. Slydini did some awsome things, his coin work was great and he could do wonders with the paper balls. However, he wasn't much of a card guy in comparison to the other two. It should have just been Vernon and Marlo. The real question should be:

Have you ever heard of all three of these magicians:Vernon, Marlo and Slydini.

*yes
*no

Dai Vernon could take a sleight, and make 10 variation on it. Pwn that.

Matt, it's 10 good variations on it. I wouldn't want to guess at how many other variations of these moves there were.
