KID's title of "Greatest Magician" is largely self-proclaimed…. But there is some merit behind it. Those who know the workings of stage-magic understand why KID is so far beyond other magicians. The fact is, his magic career is unique. KID's grandest tricks are often meant to be performed once, maybe twice, and then never again. Magicians with standard magic careers suffer from needing to preform their tricks repeatedly at multiple showings. Plus, KID doesn't just act mysterious: Everything about him is a secret.
Actually being a magician with a career rather than a mysterious magician-thief tended to smother the wonder.
