1. Steven Brundage - What puts Steven above the rest in my eyes is his ability to mix genuine rubics cube mastery with magic, we've seen speed solvers before, but Steven has turned it into a full ACT and actually comes up with his own tricks unlike 90% of the other magicians here.

2. The Clairvoyants - The routines might be old as dirt, but they have polished it to perfection and have performed flawlessly so far, their showmanship and command of the stage is unrivaled and they are incredibly enjoyable to watch.

3. Blake Vogt - The hype for this guy on here is insane, but in terms of pure creativity and imagination, he's up there as one of the best thanks to years of coming up with magic tricks for bigger magicians all around the world. He only falters in terms of stage presentation a bit, he's not as charming or commanding as some others here, but he makes up for it with his creativity (That he hasn't QUITE shown off on this show yet)

4. Jon Dorenbos - A great stage presence is crucial to being a good magician and he has that in spades, but I've yet to see him actually perform a trick that was in any way his or wasn't just routines that other magicians have used for ages, in that sense he reminds me of Mat Franco, very little creativity in terms of actually DESIGNING magic tricks, but greatness in performing them.

5.  Kadan Bart Rockett  - I give the props for their showmanship and in terms of kid acts on the show, they are genuinely entertaining and a step up, but the tricks they do are some of the most basic/overdone acts in all of magic that at this point REALLY shouldn't surprise anyone. They rely on the charm of "home-made" props, but their parents are professional magicians who knows how to build ones exactly like this.
