The previous final paragraph of the lead section was repetitive and not representative of a wider global community of magicians, instead focusing only on American magicians. This is not neutral point of view, and appears to be promoting the specific magicians listed. Instead, I used scholarly research to discuss more relevant encyclopedic information about magic.undo
