Personally, I have never been impressed by the supposed 'power' of magicians past or present. To the reputed power of a magic for wielding their art is always exaggerated by false claims and by 'chinese whispers'.
Documented accounts of deeds done by a famous magician, to me, is never as it was. There will always have been bits added on here and there for more impact. The magician his or herself will have done the same to boost the 'appeal' of their working.

but nobody bothered to say why they are considered so powerful
It will always be a hearsay or political issue, in my eyes, which has been the source of the 'powerful magician' tag.
I reckon the most powerful magicians are the ones nobody gets to hear about; who shun publicity. Who just get on with it and their workings written in journals which never come before public scrutiny. In the vein of what I said above, any magical working which has astounded joe public will have been booted up from a minor miracle to a major cacophany to rise above the often damning sceptical critique of the general public.
Most of the claims are publicity stunts besides (again in my opinion). (IMG:
