Gdnmagic

Now that Hogwarts is back in session, herewith the geeky spectrum of magicians: Gandalf the White, Tim the Enchanter, and Carrot Top.

Maybe I'm just not up to date on Carrot Top (and what a terrible thing that is!), but I'm not sure how you can class him in the same magical kingom as Tim.
A few comments on the review (as I can't seem to comment there): Mike Newell's done some dark stuff - including "An Awfully Big Adventure" and "Donnie Brasco" In the extras for Azkaban Gary Oldman mentions the fact that he's Daniel Radcliffe's favourite actor makes him a tad uncomfortable on set...
Yeah, Carrot Top's a prop comic, not a magician. I suppose the line might get fuzzy, but on the battlefield of Nerd Magic, I think even GOB Bluth would kick his ass (and be highly worthy of Mr. Top's place in this week's GDN....)
I was gonna put David Copperfield in the Nerd slot -- prolly shoulda gone with him. === In the extras for Azkaban Gary Oldman mentions the fact that he's Daniel Radcliffe's favourite actor makes him a tad uncomfortable on set... === Wow. My respect for young Mr. Radcliffe just went waayyy up. Though it's not cool if he's being uncool on the set around Oldman.
