Chris ANGEL is an illusionist <(spelling)
It may look REAL but you really need to be there when he does it not watch it on TV with all the extras hired to stand in pretending to
be shocked.. And you couln`t even go unless you were chosen to be an extra and play along with the trick.

d I don't think yoga can make you do that. Trust me, I do yoga all the time now with all the girls. And it's just stretching and breathing.

He uses lots of props, extras, and actors in his tricks. Have you seen the trick where he "karate chopped" a woman that was laying on a bench in half? Well, many years ago, that woman was on Maury because she doesn't have the lower half of her body. There is nothing "amazing" about what he does.

I would like to see the prop he used to float. Maybe he used a crane, out of shot. But no one to date has explained the levitation one. If he simply used a wire to hang from and paid some actors, its not much of a trick.

There is an explanation to this illusion, you want me to post the video link or you rather not know..?

Yeah I'd like to see an explanation.

I know one of his levitation tricks. The ones where you see him from the back. He'll usually be standing in front of something (i.e. a chair, curb, etc). One of his pant legs has a slit all the way down it, with his shoe connected to the pant leg. When he's ready to "levitate" he'll take his foot out of his shoe, and his leg out of the pant leg and put his foot on the chair, curb, etc, and push himself up, giving the illusion he is levitating.
Ok ...I still don't see the wires or the stilts. But if Angel claims it's all fake anyway, then it must be.

Thats the point, home viewers are not to see any wires, it is all edited digitally. The whole thing is mastered digitally.

Are you sure? Hundreds see his performances live. They can't digitally mater a live performance.

Hundreds ? i dont see hundreds of people there, they are all extras and actors to make the scene look realistic like those other illusions he made, didn`t you see the video ? it explains hoe there cannot be SUNLIGHT at one moment and then NO SUNLIGHT in a different view, clouds and no clouds etc..

I saw it. I wasn't too impressed.
SUNLIGHT, NO SUNLIGHT, clouds no clouds doesn't explain levitation. They should show the crane instead, the wires, the harness, etc.
jc- 08-19-2008
what do you mean ? The video explained it all how he did it, the SUNLIGHT and or CLOUDS dont add up, the shadows also dont add up, these are the things people don`t realize, it is all made digitally, he isn`t doing any levitation, SPECIAL EFFECTS can do anything.

Oh I see. Yes maybe it's completely digital. Not much of a trick then. I just found it hard to believe they would lie so blatantly. I wouldn't even call that an illusion. Just special effects, and nothing to do with magic.
