Any character who is not normally a magician, but is putting on a magic show, will use a stage name formed by taking their name and appending "-ini". Often they'll prefix "The Great", as well. Obviously the inspiration for these names is Harry Houdini, who himself based his stage name on French magician Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, or possibly Cardini. Never mind that Houdini considered himself an escape artist, not a magician, and never presented himself as having magical powers rather than exceptional dexterity. Not to be confused with the 1980s rap group, though they were great. See also Small Reference Pools, Dr. Genericius. |

One episode of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) had a Houdini look-alike stealing from people (and kidnapping children) while using magic (as a villain). He is known as The Great Boldini. Watch the episode here. | |
