Criss Angel Mindfreak

[Ironcore]

Anyone else watch this show on A&E?

Who thinks his levitation demonstrations are the real deal?

Where does he derive his powers from? Static/Kinetic energy and visualization or a higher power?

Omg, are you seroiuly thinkign they are real? Of course thier fake.

[Salem Blair]

Criss Angel is an amazing performer-- but I think thats about as far as it goes, he's simply a performer

[CadenceKid]

Criss Ang3l is teh sux0r.

[Imaginenothing]

I really don't like Criss Angel. :( His show brings me nothing but sadness.

[Gyva02]

I want to see his shit in person, especially the levitation shit. its a trick, but damn its a good one... I mean I want to be like those folks in the park, right there with him I'll be the waving a stick under him trying to see whats holding him up lol......

I believe that what he does is possible. I can't understand what makes it seem like an illusion to those who posted. I have yet to see anything that seems fake or staged on the program. It seems obvious to me that his spectators are not all actors paid off to look surprised. It is not very difficult to tell when someone is insincere / acting.

Is it because you can't accept that his performances could be reality? That levitation, dematerialization and telepathy are not possible? If so, how can you be sure?

I don't know for certain that what he performs is completely genuine, but I cannot accept that everything is falsified. That seems far more impossible to me.

Come on people, believe in the power of the mind!

[~MorningManiacMusic~]

David Blaine is better!

[mrsmorrison27]

that fucker aint got nothing on david blane

[trailerparkboy]

David Blaine sucks compared to him

[Love Fest1969]

I like his show but I don't think what he does is real.

[Salem Blair]

next time you watch the show.. listen to what he says.. he will call the things he does illusions.

Electromagnetism:

"is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles. The term electrodynamics is sometimes used to refer to the combination of electromagnetism with mechanics, and deals with the effects of the electromagnetic field on the dynamic behavior of electrically charged particles. Electromagnetism encompasses various real-world electromagnetic phenomena."

Enough to cause a light bulb to light up and levitate?

[polymer]

heh, people today still believe that jesus rose from the dead three days later to save them; that's the most ludicrous magic trick/illusion many people still believe as truth.

btw.. David Blane learned his magic from jesus, chris angel has been called "the son of the devil".

[Kinky Ramona]

I love Criss Angel. I haven't seen that show in so long...

[~MorningManiacMusic~]

Why do they always show the people reacting to what they see,then wHeN the camera goes back to Chris he's levitating or making a cat levitate or some shit.Oh yeah I know why...

[Kinky Ramona]

Anyone ever wonder if he can have an orgasm just by thinking about it? Hahaha...

[seaweedyness]

my brother loves watching Chris Angel. I like the show, but i do think most of his stunts are just allusions. he does have a good way of captivating an audience though :)

There magic tricks people.

Magicians just use tricks and slights of hand. As technology improves, magicians do more then pull rabits out of theis asses.

But it's still just a trick. If you saw him levitating, you could throw him to the floor and the trick would be exposed.

Magics just a degree above mimes in the entertainment hierarchy. Now juggling, that's at least a talent.

David Blaine did the levetation trick long before Criss Angel, and if you ask google, it'll tell you how it's done.

Theres no magic people.

Didn't I say google levitation trick?

http://www.goodtricks.net/levilink.html

There we go. No magic.

[jacobfredjo]

I think the trick where he walks across a swimming pool in vegas was staged via camera effects and a fake audience. You can tell their being paid off....

However...

Some of his tricks are really impressive. i like the ones where he makes people vanish using a cloth/quilt. Its pretty impressive, theres nowhere the people couuld have gone. They just...well dissapear lol. He even puts the quilt over himself and makes himself vanish....pretty cool.

And the other ones how he reads peoples minds...thats pretty sweet too. How do you explain that?

[bassplaya]

ill never believe mind reading unless its myself. it could easily be someone paid off

[Apples+Oranjes]

I fucking love Criss Angel. I want to marry him one day. He is so fucking talented/creative... I love his work. I have always been so into illusionists though, that stuff just amazes me, and how they come up with such simple things to make something look so bizaare and out of this world.


and he's fucking hot.

[Kinky Ramona]

Yes! He is hot. And that is the entire point. Who cares that David Blaine did anything first? Criss Angel is hot. And that is the way it should be.

[Lucifer Sam]

Eh... he has a terribly annoying lisp. :p

[trailerparkboy]

Eh... he has a terribly annoying lisp. :pI know haha

[mybadself]

Don't be a moron... If such things were true... there would be a huge fucking buzz in the scientific community... this would be BIG fucking news... and not just something on a tv show...
yeah this was exactly what i thought as well

if this were real he would be a god among mere men

uhhh... Im going to have to go with Blaine because Criss Angel just seems full of himself. I like how Blaine has humbleness to him. And not to mention the fact that he likes to starve himself. :)

Polymer what you typed earlier was quite interesting....

[pickin_wildflowers]

I don't know about the uber gay pretty boy images just posted, but yes he is sexy... Aside from that..I mean he'sa master of illusion yes, I think it's foolish to believe all of that, I mean some of it I'm sure is an easy trick to the eye, but I would need to be there to see the rest I suppose, in order to believe any of the crazy shit. You have to admit he is certainly an excellent "entertainer"...

[Cosmic Butterfly]

Yeah especially that top one, haha! WTF. I wonder how old that is?

David Blaine walks around in a shirt and pants and this guy is freaking wearing make up and shit and doing sexy photoshoots. No wonder why he is doing so good because its all image. He is the Paris Hilton of Illusion.

David Blaine... is pretty much a badass. :eek:

[Atom bomb therapy]

i think both of em are hot. yup.

[gesone]

Criss Angel is off-the-hook! He's way better than Blaine. Who cares if his work is rigged, afterall he is a performer and he's good at what he does so more power to him.

[skidrowgirl]

Wow.
This thread is a little old....still, someone thought I should see it.
And they were so darn right.LOL.
Hey, I am the biggest freaking Criss Angel fan, and even I know what the deal is. I don't miss an episode, but I also don't buy about 90% of it.
But, you bitches better believe that if I was present when he was doing that junk, I would sure act like I believed it.
Put that camera on me and ask me what went down.
I'd be like, "I don't know what just happened. We were standing here and this guy just came up and started floating or something...that shit was crazy."
I'm full of shit like that, and anyone who knows me will tell you this very thing.
Hell, I could be married to the guy, and if anyone asked me if it's real, I'd be like, "Oh yeah, it's real...he does that shit all the time at home." LOL.
Actually, I'm so full of shit that if he asked me "Have we ever met before?" in front of the crowd, I'd have a little fun with him.
I'd probably have to fuck with him and say, "Yeah, dude...We just met five minutes ago...you slipped me a hundred bucks and told me to just play along." :p

[sayanika]

Okay folks, I am a college student of 21. My hobby is to be a famous magician and I am trying to learn different kind of magic tricks. I want to learn perfect sleight of hand for card / coin magic tricks for per time. I am practicing from last 2 years but I haven’t seen any progress because I don’t get to proper practice. How do you proper learn that? Would you like to provide any reference? Thank you.

He does ONE(not all) of his levitation trick by wearing a pair of pants with three legs. One leg has a shoe attached to it making it look like his foot is already in it, while he leg is actually propped up on a stoop in front of him then keeping the third leg and his other foot symmetrical to each other while balanced on his other leg.

[Raivin]

Well he is an entertainer and atleast most of his stuff is just illusions or tricks... Don't buy it that he does stuff like that with his mind... Only thing that might give him the name of a Mindfreak is that he makes stupid people think it is really real... I just don't buy it...

[hotwater]

Come on now people; every trick (and I mean every trick) ever performed by David Blaine or Criss Angel has been exposed on Magic Secrets Revealed and Magic Street Secrets Revealed :eek:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcKT4nFR0c&feature=related

It’s fun to watch and hard not to smile in awe, but they’re tricks which anyone can learn http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/images/icons/icon14.gif

[Butterfly Krumper]

No, I've seen how he does his "Levitation Tricks" it's quite simple really.
