I asked ChatGpt for a list of the most famous magicians of all time.
It replied that: It’s difficult to determine the most famous 100 magicians of all time as the perception of fame can vary greatly depending on the individual and their context. It therefore pulled up a list of 50 most influential and well known magicians in history.
ChatGpt 05/02/2023 Then produced the following list, quite interesting.
(Apologies i had to recreate this post, fatal error on website with an update).

As you can see, quite an interesting list. Note also the repeat of some magicians (e.g. Criss Angel). This is obviously a repeat from the different places where it is drawing the data.
Would appreciate any opinions/comments you may have.
