Oh. My. God.
Has got anything to do with latex skin? It looks so real!

by **down2infinity** » Apr 30th, '06, 20:00

thats what I thought, but on the close up its unbelievably realistic if it is... maybe a full arm job lmao

Don't worry - there's no 'arm in it!

Oh lord... :twisted:

IMHO the point is that Chriss is a professional (i.e.earns his daily crust by doing it) illusionist and will go to extreme lengths to provide something which others haven't yet done. It's not the sort of thing which I appreciate but it's very convincing. Hollywood SFX meets street magic and the result of that union is bound to be weird to say the least :twisted:

When the video goes close up on his arm it doesn't really look too real. I think magnets are used to pull the coin across the 'fake' arm

I love criss
and this trick is one of his most powerfull tricks
espically because its singed and he shows it in his mouth!!!

and there is another one that I really like it's when he jumped into the water that was in the middle of the street and vanished!!!!

Good illusion, but anyone should start to think when someone cuts ones arm. Try it yourself, and see if you start to bleed or not.... he's barely not

Ill just take your word for it lol, I admit that does look a lil sus, still looks cool and if you were stood there - as a lay - you'd prob be to amazed to notice details like that.

Indeed ! It's very nice, and discusting

Agreed - but how many other people have coins in their arms when you cut them open. Please tell me you don't know this from experience :wink:

Actually - I like this a lot - it's going straight into my restaurant act, and my kid's show.. but I'm thinking for the kid's show I'll do marshmallow in arm - I don't want to encourage the kids to start putting coins in their mouth - a bit too dangerous.
