Tier S+: David Blaine
I'd also add James Randi to the 'S' category (whether you're counting 'S' or not). He was one of the greatest illusionists the world has ever known, and he carried on Houdini's amazing work of exposing charlatans and fraudulent psychics (and Houdini, without a doubt, belongs on this list too!).
Along those lines, I'd also include Martin Gardner in the 'S' category. Even though he was primarily a science popularizer and mathematician, he dedicated a significant portion of his life to creating new magic effects.
And, to include a Spanish magician, I'd place Pepe Carrol in the 'A' tier.
I didn't include Houdini simply because he was an escape artist; after all, the boundaries of what we consider 'magic' are pretty fluid.
Tier S+ : Eric chien
