7. Penn & Teller
The brilliant pair star in Las Vegas in their own live show, as well as a Showtime television series. For a couple of guys who learned to do a few cool things, the edgy Penn & Teller may be the most respected magicians in the lay public's eyes.

Performer and teacher, Jeff McBride is a respected magic expert and skilled manipulator who tours in his own show and appears regularly in Las Vegas. He constantly brings innovation to the presentation of magic as a theatrical art.
10. Cyril Takayama
I'm going out on a limb here and giving the final slot to Cyril Takayama. I only know his magic through YouTube videos, but he's an accomplished performer who creates bold and brilliant magic. When I want to see creative new magic angles, I simply search for Cyril.
