For someone that did a great deal of miracles, or even 'party tricks' that got amped up, I find it suspicious that no one of his time had the slightest thing to say about him.

These references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

I too find it suspicious that nobody else mentioned his miracles, but that doesn't automatically mean he never existed. Far more likely is that that stuff was made up or exaggerated after he died.

Actually if you want to look at likely, Occam's razor would say it is more likely the entire thing is a myth. You know, the whole idea of not multiplying entities unnecessarily.
