just because they are tricks/illusions doesnt mean they are less fun. Thats part of the fun of it all. Of course its not real magic (hate to break it to a few of you) but they are entertaining for the most part. I personally dont like the guys schtik but he has some good tricks.
Again, they're not tricks; they're illusions. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D8YJna7pMqE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D8YJna7pMqE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Dude, I don't think you understood me. Do you know how windy it is when you are that high up? I doubt anybody could stand on plexiglass without being blown off. Not to mention he can't even see up there. If you want to believe it was plexiglass then fine. That's not a good explination to me.
The illusion where he pulls a woman in half and the woman crawls away with her top half, the woman is an amputee, and the bottom half was a bending contortionist. The amputee lady has a website somewhere out there, but yeah that's one of his tricks explained. It's not real.
Has anybody seen that trick where he supposedly swallows a coin, makes it travel down his arm and then cuts it out of his arm? If you believe, please convince me that it is NOT fake.
of course. but her running away on her hands gives that away. I am talking about one of his big tricks. And for that matter, explain to me how he bends a woman down parallel to the ground in the middle of the field to where her feet are on the ground at a right angle to her body? Where is the string in that? I love how people call it camera editing.
lots of the coin tricks he does are from Wayne Houchin, they are simply camera angle tricks, you could do them in front of people as long as they are a couple feet away and right in front of you. Like the coin in the can trick, he never does it close up cause he has the coin in his hand the entire time.
So this is how he does the basic levitation... Still doesnt explain how he floated above the Luxor, or from building to building...there must have been alot of boxes! <embed src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/162401/criss_angel_spoiler.swf" width="400" height="345" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><br><font size = 1><a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/162401/criss_angel_spoiler/">Criss Angel Spoiler!</a> - <a href='http://www.metacafe.com/'>For more funny videos, click here</a></font>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_SQ7bP9dYI Explain this levitation????? Anybody??? Where is the plexiglass here?
I enjoy his show. Most of the illusions are very impressive. Only recently I got turned off when he approached a girl (maybe 12) and changed her into an adult. Then she looks in the mirror saying how amazing it is, etc. Too corny and ruins the illusion of being 'real'. His biggest trick was probably dating Cameron Diaz though (even though I don't really find her that attractive). I like David Blaine's card tricks too. They're 'simple' (compared to making a building disappear or something) and right there in front of the camera so there seems to be less possibility of extra 'help'. And what is your point, 'what'? Are you arguing that Angel actually has magical powers? I still don't get what you're arguing? Or w/ who?
Do you think there is an explanation or do you really believe he has a higher power or force which assists him?
What did you think Pun when Maxwell dropped 35 points in the second half against the Suns? that was a HIGHER POWER.
