Seriously, you all get into arguments about some of the dumbest things. While reading this topic I could practically hear people yelling at each other! If the kid wants to find out who we think is the best magician on youtube then that's fine. If you don't want to participate don't yell at somebody for it, just ignore the topic.
Is this really what we want the art of magic to be? Can we please just have a little peace around here for once? It's starting to get
extremely annoying. If a newcomer to magic were to see this do you think he'd really want to be like us, arguing like a kindergartener whining about a broken cookie? Here you(cough..David...cough) say that supertom is immature, well he's not the one who's yelling stupidly at people just because they don't want to answer a question!
Now I will answer your question. I think that Bronson James is one of the best magicians
on youtube. Again, a little peace would be nice. Think before you post.
Do we want argument and anger? No, and there is no anger in Dave's posts. He, like many others, is frustrated by the arrogance of newcomers who think they're hot stuff because they've "met" a professional or because they where complimented.
Secondly, the phenomenon known as "youtube", has caused alot of problems in the magic community. Poor performances, exposure, and apparently assinine contests are smearing our art's reputaion.
No anger, just frustration.
