Oh, OK.

Yeah, I know about him, mainly mentalists, right?
He owned Uri Geller and this other person, I forgot. But he had to flip a phone book over.
It's fun watching fakers squirm

Criss Angel's tricks are easy.
Anybody tell me one and I will tell you how he does it.

No need to get nasty. The real point is why would you believe that someone who says what he does is illusion is actually reality? That makes no sense.

Now now children ... there's no cursing. When you're done all your homework you can apologize to everyone for looking like immature idiots.

If you can't have a sensable arguement in a mature way maybe you shouldn't post. Chris Angel is good, but they're all tricks ... deal with it ... it's be shown, and it's been revealed. It's just that ...

You don't need to come on here cursing and swearing ... it wont be tolerated and you will be repremanded for your stupid actions if the mods fell you are doing nothing more than wasting time and space on the forum. So take a moment, sit back and grow up. Just as well to start now before it's too late, then you look even more stupid.

Gullible might not be in the dictionary ... but moronic is.

There should be an IQ test or something to allow you to sign up to this site I swear to god.

Is it possible, I never said I believe and think he is almighty, the trick when he stuck his arm through someone was easy to see through; it was fake and pre set up, plus you can see his arm go around the guy. THE THOUGHT THAT CAME THROUGH MY HEAD WAS THAT MAYBE HE USES HIS RELIGION AND MIXES IT WITH HIS TRICKS. I apoligise to everyone who I might have offended except for the person who I said it to. Honestly, I didn't mean to offend anyone else. I just hate when you go on a forum and there is that one guy who is just out to right off badmouth someone and try to make them look stupid. I just got back from a place where I couldn't and didn't take crap off of anyone, then when I come across a little punk behind a computer I go back to there. So, sorry for my comment; if anyone wants to suspend my account go ahead or ban me from this room. I really love this forum and have watched it for the longest time. I also don't post unless I really find something interesting to avoid making usless posts. All I am saying is that there is more to life then sitting back behind a computer where you are safe acting all hard and badmouthing people whenever you get a chance.

You're right iroc. I agree with you ... just ignore someone like that who out to ruin yer day ... somedays I do .. others I dont. But it's always best to avoid them. Then they have no other choice to get with the program and post some sense and add to it.

Thankyou Gene!! Ahem....hello ladies and gentlemen here is my opinion about the show mind freak. I beleive he is very talented at what he does...and he is really cute. He has lots of fans and he is on TV so he must be doing something right Thankyou for reading my post and have a nice day...lol.

he's entertaining to watch but they're just illusions like he says

Although he says that the things he do are just illusions,there are amazingly real....

I love Mind Freak. Criss is a very talented illusionist. I love where he goes through a window of someone's store and the glass is unblemished after he passes through. I do believe Criss when he admits all of his magic is preformed through illusion. I will add a quote from Criss Angel and a link to where I found it. It is from a collection of quotes taken from his show (3/4 way down the page on the linked page)



criss angel quotes - tv.com

Criss Angel is a great illusionist, but thats all he is. When he does his levitating above the buiding, you can tell that the people below are actors. The same with the other major tricks he does. He does not use normal street people for these tricks.

Yeah actually it's all staged, there are multiple cuts, the "bystanders" are actors and the tricks are simply camera editing and bad acting.. i'll try & find some of his tricks which have been debunked. There was one where he drove a go-kart into a cloud of "smoke" (people standing at the point where he disappeared were blowing fire extinguishers) & the people making the smoke were all going "omg where did he go! it's amazing!" but what he did was simply drive down a carpark ramp & the camera angle made it look like he disappeared into thin air...

fake fake fake.. fun to watch tho...

he might not even be human. has that occured to you?

David Blaine is more talented than Chris Angel. Chris uses a lot of TV deception.

Healthwatcher.net

Now thats about the silliest thing I have ever heard.

He might be a talented magician, has that occured to you?

Idk If this was said at all since I didn't bother looking through all the pages, but I was at a gold course once and I saw him there. He did a few tricks, one which included levitating. Idk how he did it but he is amazing! I was looking at the sky to look for helicopters or airplanes but nothing was there! No one knew how he was levitating. he must have went 7 feet off the ground.

Mind freak , no doubt. I have liked him from day one. I would like to see him in person.

I don't care whether his stuff is illusion, camera tricks, rehearsed with the 'bystander.' It's all highly entertaining.

I wouldn't mind if he would 'freak' my 'mind' either.

Derren brown is pretty good. only glance at the first page but people mentioned the voodoo doll stuff and it reminded me of his version.

i like david blaine way better .. david blaine does things that no other human has done before

you can't really call it magic .. he goes beyond cheap parlor tricks

examples:

*when he was buried alive for a week (6 feet under)

*he was submerged in an 8 feet (2.4 m) diameter, water-filled sphere (isotonic saline, 0.9% salt) in front of the Lincoln Center in New York City for a planned seven days and seven nights, using tubes for air and nutrition. He concluded this event by attempting to hold his breath underwater to break the world record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds

*he stood encased in a closet of ice located in Times Square, New York. He was lightly dressed and seen to be shivering even before the blocks of ice were sealed around him. A tube supplied him with air and water while his urine was removed with another tube. He was encased in the box of ice for 63 hours, 42 minutes and 15 seconds before being removed with chain saws

*a crane lifted him onto a 105 ft (27 m) high and 22 in (56 cm) wide pillar. He remained on the pillar for exactly 35 hours. With his legs weak from standing atop the pillar for so long, he ended the feat by jumping down onto a landing platform made out of a 12 foot (3.7 m) high pile of cardboard boxes and suffered a concussion.

*his 44-day endurance stunt sealed inside a transparent Plexiglas case suspended 30 feet (9 m) in the air next to Potters Fields Park on the south bank of the River Thames in London.

david blaine also does the street magic thing .. but i really don't think you can compare the two

criss angel is an illusionist ..

david blaine is a crazy man who pushes his body to limits never before seen

His show is entertaing at most

I can't figure out how he is levitating! Do you think he is really levitating? Very strange!

NO.

Its all staged.......sometimes i have the feeling that the supposed random people he picks from an audience are actually trained actors that he pays in advance to trick the actual public.....

Yes, I think it is possible. Of course, illusionists can create the appearance of anything. If he can really
levitate, he would be wise to pretend that it is an illusion, to avoid the harsh attacks faced by Uri Geller
in his youth.

He has shown how he does it. Come on. Dang. Some people just want to believe.

really? didnt hear that.
tell me how, or video yourself doing it, i wanna check out how. so i can show my friends

If you go on to you tube, you can find it(I watched it there a few months ago). He actually had a video he sold showing how to do it.

Yes, can you tell us how he levitates? It just looks so real. I mean, has anyone seen him levitate for real, in person, or is it just paid actors and a trick of the camera, etc? When I was in P.E. at school, we would lie on the floor, and the other girls would put 2 fingers under us and lift us up, and we felt light as a feather. It was so creepy, but yet, awesome at the same time. I never could figure it out, but they say, it is actually a scientific thing. It's called "Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board". Here, I found a website about it:



http://www.castleofspirits.com/levitation.html

I have participated in this. You do have to first put your hands on their head, alternating persons and hands, as it says in the link. When you lift, lift them right over the back of the chair. I have not seen a scientific explanation of this.

criss angel is an adept psion, he adds from psionics to simple magic tricks to, make them look extraordinary, he himself said that some of what he does is real and some is an illusion, by the way, here's a video showing his real and fake levitations:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coUMEK-8IPQ

cris angel rocks!! especially the levitaiting trick its like about 7feet or something... the guy is really good he owned david blane and copperfield!!

Angel has said many time he does not have powers and does not believe in them. As a matter of fact, he gets pissed off at people who claim them. Do some research dude.

He's pretty good, I like where he switched the chicks peanuts with a cockroach.

I dont care what anyone thinks, I think Criss Angel is the best ever

well, give me a link to where he said that then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch his series and he'll say it in one of the episodes. He also said it in an interview on NBC.

It will just crush your beliefs, huh? I will look for it, but he has said it many times, on tv, radio,and in print.



Thankyou.

He also said it when he was on Larry King as well.

If people believe he has real powers then they are morons.

I think he really is ! Don't know how he does that ,though . I can't imagine any trick or so . He must be really doing it .

Well, if we all knew how to do it we'd all be on telly & rich. That's the whole point with magic, you don't give away the secrets.

You gullible chump.

Is this an insult ?

Only if you really meant '' he must be doing it for real''

Are you ready?
He is what he is......a really great magician.
I've enjoyed watching him since day one and he's only gotten better.
He's entertaining. He has a lot of charisma. He's got a lot of money to show for his hard work and talent.
And sure, sometimes he leaves you wondering...how did he do that?
He's a magician.
It's magic.
It's entertaining.
Have fun with it and just enjoy watching it.

"Real" is very relative .

Man this dude made nerdism into being a rockstar....i hate his act, but the dude hasn't flopped yet and I thought he would.

Criss Angel is the best magician/illusionist alive today, and probably ever, in my opinion. He does amazing tricks, and amazing, death-defying acts. That's why Criss Angel is the best!

Criss Angel is the best! Much better than Penn & Teller, or Houdini. I know it's an illusion, but I am not good at figuring out the way illusionist tricks are done. I just let myself be flabbergasted and enjoy.

Criss Angel's acts are so unimaginable and ridiculous that they put me off at the very beginning. I mean come on! You can't make kids grow up into adults in 5 mins, cut people in half, blow yourself up, walk in the sky, walk on water, pull out a woman from a small bag, and blah blah blah ...

A good amgician should trick people by making them believe that there could be some way that the acts are real.
