Question:
Why are the best Magicians from New York area?
Harry Houdini, David Copperfield, David Blaine, and Criss Angel are all from the NY area. Why is that?
Answers:
Well, to begin with Houdini was from Wisconsin and Copperfield hails from New Jersey. Harry Houdini did live his adult life using New York as home base, but that would be expected as New York was the gateway to Europe in the early 20th century as well as a major hub of entertainment business. David Copperfield currently resides in Las Vegas.
David Blaine was indeed born in Brooklyn and Criss Angel is from Long Island.
Other notable magicians including Mark Wilson (Texas), Harry Blackstone Jr (Michigan) and Gale Alexander (Minnesota) have been from differing places.
