I Asked AI to Create Images of Famous Magicians

I used MidJourney, an AI image creation tool, to create images of famous magicians using nothing but the magicians’ names. The result was pretty entertaining, and perhaps a pretty good clue as to the popularity (or at least ubiquity) of these celebrity magicians. You’ll see, some of these got pretty close (Doug Henning, David Blaine, Mat Franco) and some of them are just plain weird (Penn & Teller). Which one is your favorite?
