6. Apollo Robbins
A master of deception, and the “best-kept secret in town”, Robbins is not big on TV appearances and ad campaigns. However, his pick-pocketing skills outshine his competitors so much that he’s known as a legend in magic circles. He’s the only magician that managed to wipe out the pockets of Jimmy Carter’s secret service during a dinner in 2001, but escaped trouble by handing back the belongings. So hold on to that wallet if you’re ever around this quick-handed illusionist.
