Criss Angel and David Blaine- Lesson on skepticism

[Nightshare]

I just beleive he uses psi in his magic like I do.

[kakashi]

mix truth and lie ,and neither is pecieved

[neeoo]

man sorry to dissapoint but chriss angel calls himslef a mind freak not a magician

[magicdood234]

Just to uh...reiterate things that have been plainly stated many times:

Hopefully my name gives some insight to my background? ;D I study illusions. Magic in the illusions sense. So yes, I do know a lot about Criss Angel. I know for a fact, 100% that everything he does is 100% illusion. He does not practice chi, psi, ki, qi or whatever.

He states that so plainly as well, that it's unbelievable how we still have this debate.

And last of all, if anyone watches the show "phenomenon", they will see exactly what I mean.

It's crazy how you guys still believe he could be using psi. I know, from personal dvds from his tricks, where he explains how he does everything, and from other sources such as that, that he is of course, non other than an illusionist. A good one at that, but still, nothing metaphysical. Sure, it's a great inspiration, but just know, he is only illusions.

I think he is an ILLUSIONIST! He even did a Psychic Surgery episode and he showed how it was fake.

He says he is an illusionists himself.

Which is why this whole argument is funny.

[chakraflow]

Lol is'nt fluff that marshmallow stuff thats like a paste? If it is then i love that stuff ! too

[brandonslau]

What we mean by fluff is fake,un true, not realistic things.unless you were kidding.

[lrdjoe]

It is fake, thats the whole thing of being an Illusionist, you have to trick people into thinking its real, as for walking on water, you can put a glass panel in the water 1 inch into it and walk on it you cant tell by looking at it you actually need to stick a finger or foot into the water to tell. and yeah plexy glass has the same effect, It blends with the water making it invisible to the naked eye, again the only way to tell is to physically touch it.

[The Adfeng]

Mmhmm. He uses some kind of illusion trick. He tells you what he's going to do, what will happen, and then that's where he gets you. He makes you see or feel something that he suggested to you, verbally. Kind of like psychology.

He shares how he levitates 7 inches off the ground, making it APPEAR as if both is legs are in the air, what I want to know is how he levitated 15 feet off the ground when he was clearly suspended very high without the use of any ropes, ect, in front of like literally 80 people at least.

There is no doubt about it. Criss Angel is fake. I'm very happy that he's not a jerk about it, going around claiming it's real Magick or something. He admits that he is an ILLUSIONIST.

[The Adfeng]

Yes, he's fake, he even admits it. He makes situations seem like nothing could happen, but somewhere there was a slight movement of something so slow in movement we don't detect it, or there are special mirrors. He's admitted that he does illusions.

[sleepyhollow94]

Ok, there are a lot of things that Criss Angel does that CANNOT be possible. Or very, very difficult. For example, he runs himself over with a steamroller. I'm sorry, but I very highly doubt that he ACTUALLY did that. The vast majority of his tricks are done with extensive planning and a huge number of equipment.
