Unfortunately, my inspiration to actually enter the art is not someone who you'd know of, and he's not in the trade anymore i think( the classic cup and balls routine and cut and restored rope, 2 effects that got me so astonished, i HAD to enter the art, but the magician wasn't all that good with presentation, i think his natural appearance was what lured in kids). And my inspirations to keep on practicing and coming up with new ideas are still alive so i can't really bring anyone back to life.
But if it's to answer the question, i'd like to see John Scarne alive, i admire his level of technique and his effect that is Scarne's Aces.
