Magician Tier List
I'm creating this tier list to discuss and rank our favorite magicians. Everyone can share their thoughts and opinions (all opinions are valid, but let's keep it respectful).

S-Tier: Ren茅 Lavand. At least for me.
Tier S+ : Eric chien
I didn't include Houdini simply because he was an escape artist; after all, the boundaries of what we consider 'magic' are pretty fluid.
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.
Tier S+: David Blaine
Tier S: Juan Tamariz, Roberto Giobbi, Dani Da Ortiz, and Eric Chien
Tier A: Jandro, Penn & Teller, and Mago Pop
Tier B: Julio Ribera, Shado, Luis Piedrahita.
Feel free to continue the list!
