I would also vote for...

Doug Henning! Though, PS, he's dead.

Ah, Doug... you should have stuck with the razzle-dazzle and overalls, man.

I love how youtube videos get screwed up on my LJ, and thus it looked like you just said that you would vote for Randall Monroe and Cory Doctorow. Although it would be sad if they were dead.

I still don't quite know what happened with that levitation thing. I always thought he was a little bit odd, but to turn out to be a complete fruit loop... that was disappointing. I really liked him as a child (me, not him).

Lee.

As did I. He did exciting magic stuff... and maybe his act didn't age well, but you can tell he was having fun.

David Copperfield stuck a stilletto stake through his heart. The 80s were bound to turn their back on a man who wore rainbow colours for a man who wore black satin blazers and black leather pants.

Copperfield! That's the name I was trying to remember, in a comment to mar2nee, below.

It's a pity Henning didn't live longer - he'd be due for a comeback, methinks.

He'd probably have been able to get a healthy deal with the Disney Corporation for simply revamping his old routine (and promising never to mention TM or levitating yogis again).

Oh THAT guy. I didn't know he was in charge of the Natural Law party.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Not in charge - just their spokesman, since he was the most famous member.

[relee.livejournal.com]

Ahh pardon, I jumped on a conclusion. ^.^;;

He was a nice magician though.

Oh man, we need to force Steven Harper to wear some Yogic Flyer Underoos! They might make him slightly more human.

Ya, I adored all his rainbow hippyDippy stuff. it's *magic!*

[mar2nee.livejournal.com]

OK, that was the first time I saw how a magic trick was done (without being told). He must not be very good.

I remember Natural Law! But not this guy from when I was a kid.

I thought about voting Marxist-Lenonist. I have no idea what they're up to - but I like that I had the option.

But not this guy from when I was a kid.

He used to show up once a year on TV with a big magic spectacular, and he even did a movie. But the "edgier" magicians sort of knocked him aside, as people got tired of rainbows and big hair.

I voted Marxist-Leninist in my first federal election, and told everyone I vote PC.
