Doug Henning? Actually, pretty great magician, but cheesy "performance techniques". What other magicians were memorable for excess? Copperfield did some silly stunts, but his live show is pretty damn entertaining . . . if you can forgive the music video style.

Gallagher wasn't a magician, was he? Someone with an act centering around smashing fruit would never make it today.

Penn and Teller-retro and still kicking ass today

can't think of many that are retro or known for excess.
