Has anyone watched this program and his illusions? It used to all be on a stage where things could easily have been planned and what not. However, Criss does everything live and it blows my mind. Unless the people on the streets are involved, these are amazing feets. I've seen this man levitate himself and other people. This is beyond the myths of levitation mentioned in the 19th century, but serious acts.

I know there are a lot of tricks to use in illusion and "magic". But this man has something I've never seen before. I'll share a few examples off his website.

NYC Levitation
NYC Disappearance
These aren't triggered stages with trap doors or fixed boxes. This is some weird stuff. Thoughts?

Actually, you're wrong. Criss Angel is notorious for having many false audience members, meaning that they're really a part of the act. He does in fact mess with certain videos, especially the "teleport" videos. The rest of his tricks are pretty much strings and other such tools. Criss Angel is good, but he really isn't as good as he makes people believe.

Wtf is this person anyways? I've never heard of him, but yet after seeing the websites, and reading what HolySin said, it does sound like Criss Angel is a wanna-be, but yet don't forget we live in a world where we can make videos look realitic in any other way. So, I don't really believe what he does, just like HolySin said; string, and tools.

I saw it on TV a couple of times, he was pretty good..
But then i saw a video on internet, where it shows how he fakes that stuff, They show it from a different camera man so all stuff is revealed and even pointed out with red cicrles, like it showed how he took a bottle, putted some kinda cloth on it, then he drawed the persons attention by talking about sth, simply dropped the bottle, to a guy who holds the big microphone thing behind him, hand, then showed the cloth to the person again (with it's finger up, instead of the bottle) then he took away the cloth. Yay no bottle! -_-
Or he actually took a wallet from a cop's back pocket, by talking some crap to draw atention (as usual), took out a 20 dollar bill, puted the wallet back, and then said i have themoney from your wallet... big wow.

But pretty much it's montage, like he asks a guy to give his cup of cofee, then it turns all cofee into cents...

ermac im calling bs on you.
My friend is a criss angel freak(believes he is the anti-christ) and makes me watch every single show(and alot of internet stuff). Half the time I can hit the hammer on the nail(arm going through a balck guy), but when he asks people to sign stuff, and then does something with it...well I dunno.
Anyways ermac, I just dont want people thinking you watched something thats on the internet and not on his SHOW on A&E. MAYBE you saw it on the internet, but it was ripped from the show. Criss showed everyone the same view you saw, with the same highlights, detailing how he did it. why? because he doesnt do ANY of that stuff on his show(watch it). Hes just showing the audeince how they can do their own simple tricks to show their friends, which he does EVERY show.
OK so you are all note-worthy scientists who have made the discovery that he is not really harnessing Lucifer's power, BRAVO. So lets turn our collective genious to figuring out HOW he does each trick, not whether or not they ARE tricks.
Before I spill the beans, anyone wanna take a crack at how he was able to put his arm through another man's torso?

Ok i didn't knew he teaches ppl how to do stuff on his show, because i've seen a couple of his shows and he didn't teached anything on them, maybe i just missed that i agree.And i'm not sure if the video i saw wasn't ripped from the show, but i doubt he would teach ppl how to steal.

And oh comeon, it should be clear that he fakes stuff, i mean ppl always like unexplainable stuff, so some manager just found some guy, some montage specialists and here they get money, we live in such technology age when u can fake almost anything.
Now, you'll propably think i'm a skeptic materialist, but i'm not. I'm really into this kinda mystic stuff, just that i see this all as a hoax to make money, i mean a real mage wouldn't call himself Criss Angel, and have his own TV show..

But I am not trying to make someone believe as i do, if u want to believe he's not faking, fine i respect your opinnion. I've just told back then what i saw on Internet i thought that was uploaded on purpose to reveal the hoax, maybe i was wrong i dunno. But i still think he's a fraud.

I actually think Joe Labero is better than Criss, maybe because his Swedish or something, but Criss is so... Boring..

ermac, re-read my ENTIRE post, and post a somewhat intelligent reply.
