Criss Angel pulling a David Blaine?

Postby REMO08 » Oct 5th, '07, 22:22



Remember when Blaine performed the balducci for a small audience, then had his crew mix it together with a wire suspension passed off to the audience as "This is how some magicians may try to levitate by using wires?" later? Do you think Criss Angel learned of this and is now performing his usual levitation (the one he is selling for $100 for only the instructional dvd) and then performs a wire suspension w/ F.L.Y. and mixes it together? I`ve been wondering about this one for a while. Any opinions are welcome to this post.

This wouldn't be the first time Criss has done something like that. I however, do not like Mindfreak, because it's not fun to have a "goth" screaming out of my television.

Amen, my brother, amen.

:arrow: Sidenote: Remember the one when he had on "only" a jacket, turned around & there was a shirt on underneath? :roll: He`s running out of material, I guess.

His levitation is not done by wires, the dvd is good but requires you to make a complicated gimmick.

Not that one. His new one. The one where he floats over a tree or building or whatever.

Some of the levitations on that episode of Mindfreak were done using the method taught on the dvd but others were done using wires

If you don`t watch it, why did you open this thread? I`m not trying to be mean, I`m just curious.
