Criss Angel Walks Through Glass

Criss Angel is a magician /illusionist!! Yes for the people that totally take his side for him doing everything real, I agree with you. Some of his stunts are real, BUT also, some of the things he does are not "fake" But an illusion. His Job is to freak out your mind. Some things are real, and some are fake.. and really it's up to you to decide. But it's not all ONE solid answer. It's not ALL "REAL" or ALL "FAKE" Some of the things he does IS real, and some are illusion. Thank you =)

This is a great illusion but requires tons of set-up.
1. the "paper holders" are in on it. They hold the paper in a way so as not to press against the glass
2. The "found" paper was planted, and is ridgid enough to be held taut
3. The glass is actually cut to the shape of the letter "U", with the open end of the "u" on the bottom--an upside-down "u"
4. The open sign is not attached to the glass, but is fixed to look as though it is.
5. The "U" shaped cut is critical because it shows the solid glass on both sides of the paper, BUT NOT THE BOTTOM. Holding the paper so that it covers the bottom of the window frame is critical- it makes or breaks the trick--as well a positioning the paper so that glass is visible on both sides of it
6. The next critical thing is CLEAN GLASS. It must be spotless, immaculate, otherwise you would see a dirtline or lint rising up as the glass is pulled up into the specially made frame. This is why the paper holders don't press the paper against the glass--they must hold it just off from the glass and not touch the glass with their hands or the paper.
7. Its a great illusion

This is one of the easiest illusions. Anyone can do it. And the secret can be yours for $99.00 donation, email @ johnnybegood36 @ hotmail.com

1.EVERYBODY is an actor.
2. It's NEVER a continous shot.
3. Camera goes away from the wondow too much. (crowd, paper,stool, shoes.)
4. If you can walk threw glass, why would you need to block it with paper?
5. glass down go down when the camera zooms in the paper.


David Blaine is BETTER so far...

I seen all your season1 and they're all real You even showed us u dont have a any wires on you. I Think the walking throught a glass was crazy.....
I think its impossible to make an fake one too...

You people who are taking away the secrets and everything.. DO YOU HAVE NO LIFE!? Seriously, you are the kind of people that screw up the world. Just sit back relax and watch the show. Don't analyze it and if you don't like it don't watch it!! SIMPLE AS THAT YOU MORONS!!! Don't judge Criss because even if the stunts are fake it's why they are called "illusions"!! By the way, he is obviously smarter then you because he makes money for doing this stuff...do you?

Some of you have said he slides the glass up while the paper is in front of it... for one, if he did that, the people in front would have noticed it. Second, the left side [our left] is still visible and you can see that it never moves. If it did slide, the light would reflect differently as it moved.

Ggogogo

Those who are complaining and calling Criss a fake, can you Walk Threw Glass? Can you do the illusions he can do? Make a video then send it to me. I like to see. Criss is one of the greatest illusionist of our time. Hes full of talent and I wish him the best in his future. Hopefully he will be taking his show on the road.

It amazes me how many people feel the need to tear down things and people. Relax!! Sit back and enjoy the show!! Sheesh! Illusion has always been and always will be fascinating and mind bending when it is good, and what is 'good' is subjective depending on the sophistocation of the audience. Some of you guys would have been out with torches to burn the 'witch' a century ago!

Criss has to be the best preformer ever to do magic. And that man is HOTT!!!!!!!!:)

he is the greastest magican to ever live!

Wow is all I can say! I've never seen this guy before but hope I see him again!

WAT HE DOES IS A GREAT ILLUSION. BUT HE DOES SOME PRITY WICKED TRICKS LIKE WHEN HE DID THE HUMAN CANDLE OR THE ONE WARE HE WENT INTO THE TRASH CAN AND APPEARED AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION. AND HOW IN THE WORLD DID HE DO THE ONE WARE HE WAS IN THE TRASH CAN.

That is ..... WHOA!

I don't care what any of you people have to say about Criss. He's a god and he's great at everything he does. For the people who think the stunts he does are fake, here's a question for you. Do you think that it was an illusion when Criss was suspended by fish hooks by a helicopter? I don't think so. That was totally real. And when he got hit by the Amazing Jonathan on his show. That was real too. So all you people who think what he does is fake, get a life. He's considered a mindfreak not really an illusionist, get it right.

Three words This Is Real. Criss Angel is the best magician there is to offer, he is the best. To everyone that thinks this is fake, watch his show Mind Freak wednesdays from 10 to 11pm.
Criss you are god.

it's still one hell of a show!!!

i've seen him do this and it is real it's not a stunt it's actually real. i've also seen him walk down a 40 story building without and kind of saftly net or harness what so ever...... he's really amazing.... if you would like to see more of the stuff he does watch on cable on channel a & e wednesdays at 9:00 central time and be amazed.....

Maybe he has a mic on so his voice volume wouldnt necessarily change

I have seen this dude do some amazing tricks I will find the video where he swallows a quarter and cuts it out of his arm with the lady's signature on it. I know I have clips somewhere where he levitates. He has a show on Tv in the USA called Mindfreak.

why spoil it, do you think your cool because you know how the tricks done, well your not, so what if its not real its still really cool!! and none of you have any right to place comments like that untill i see you walking through a pane of glass so shut the f up!

how much would you pay to know how he does this?

WONDERFULL!!!!!

I believe an interior pane slides up from the floor. The store owner is in on it. When the paper goes up, the interior pane slides up. After he does his deal, the pane slides back down. My two cents.

wow! it's really amazing! thanks for sharing the video.

great show thx

for all u ppl thats saying its fake and o this is b.s. well no S**t ? its an illusion a trick we've all established that its fake cuzz its an illusion

I TRIED TO POST

HE KNOTS IN THE WINDOW
GOES INSIDE
HE SLIDES THE PLEXIGLASS AND GOES THROUGH
THE WINDOW.
ONE OF HIS PEOPLE CLOSES THE PLEXIGLASS
RUSTY001

IT JUST POSSIBLE THERE S A PAPER THAT HE NEEDS IS RIGHT THERE ( RIGHT )

1 HE BANGS ON WINDOW
2) Goes in doors.
3) He moves the sliding glass and then he moves the plexiglass.
4 ) CRAWLS THROUGH THE WINDOW.
5 A person in side closes the plexiglass.
6) SO it looks like he GOES THRU THE SOLID PIECE
OF GLASS
RUSTY001

Yes he is an illusionist, but don’t be fooled, there are a few dead giveaway of how fake it is. But first some general science.
He reasoned that as glass is a liquid, which it is, a very viscous one, therefore he is able to move through. Ok let’s go with his logic. So let’s look at viscosity. Firstly you put your hand through water, not very viscous, you get wet. You put your hand through honey, very viscous, you get it stuck to you, and it’s very hard to get off. Ok glass, extremely viscous, in order to permeate the glass, which he did, he would likely displace most of it over his body; it wouldn’t be back in the same place. But let’s roll with the idea that if you go through glass it will reform after you leave.
So the dead give aways where these.
It is obvious the glass has been replaced or exchanged during the clip.
Evidence for the exchange of glass panels is as follows:
1. Notice how he taps the window at the begin; the tone is allot higher as the panel is allot tighter fit. Skip to the end and you will notice the glass rattles.
2. He makes such a huge fuss about keeping the camera rolling to make you see he wasn’t pulling anything. Then for no apparent reason he goes, got to take off my shoes, and the camera zooms right in on his shoes taking your attention away from the panel. Also it’s accelerated. Meaning you can’t hear what’s going.
3. If you watch you can see the centre of the paper moving before he attempt to transverse the glass. This is not particularly obvious
4. When he goes to pick move the crate they cut the film. It is here they changed the panel. The panel is simply the window with a large circle cut out of it that is slightly smaller than the paper
5. Listen carefully to the knocks on the glass at 1:05. Notice that the centre knock gives the highest pitch. However, if play around on your window and know a little physics you can see that it should have the lowest pitch as it has the longest effective length. Not sure what this means.
6. HUGE! Give away is when he is exiting the window at 3:02 you will notice his foot hits the glass as it leaves, skipping over and pushing through the paper. Obviously he hit the side of the cut out.
7. You may find it odd how as he first punctures the paper, a small rectangular frame where the two people are holding the paper hardly moves. Also more surprisingly the boarder of the paper just seems to not tear. In fact it ruptures in the x plane, and given the tension put on by the people pulling the two ends apart you would expect this tear to get bigger faster, but it slows down, and force is continued to be put on it and instead it tears in the Y direction and stops at a similar distance. Odd?
Some other things too, but its late in aus, and i need to get back to engineering report. Was fun though. Let me know what you think of my ideas.

In all Criss Angel's magic he use some actors or his own people, which is very bad.......No.: 1 - The man & the lady who were holding the paper got no face impression until Criss come out fully. No.:2 - The guy inside, u can see him moving quickly when Criss showed the glass is not broked.

These three persons played a vital roll to make this trick happen........

simply what they did is use a large glass that had a huge whole at the bottom that's behind the wall. as soon as the put the paper on the glass they slowly move the glass upwards, and the used that OPEN sing attached to the wall to make it look like it's on the glass that way they wouldn't notice it's moving.once he gets through the wall they quickly put the glass down. the man that entered the building knew about the trick, and just made him look surprized, so it could fool the people

The glass behind the obstruction slides out of the way, he steps in, and slides back up

The best tricks are usually the most disappointing when worked out because they end up so obvious once you know. The window is not the kind of window you have at home. It opens in the middle of the glass. Why do you think he hides it with paper. Because he needs to hide something temporary so he can climb through. Blaine did this trick with his hand and paper too if you can still remember him. Thank you!

...

MAYBE REAL....OR ITS FAKE... ANYWAY I,M HAPPY AND ENJOYED

what happens is when the paper is on the glass.....there is a person underneath inside the room...they have the glass slit to where they can remove it....when the paper is on they take the glass out...that is when he gets out...but as soon as he is out they put the glass back on...easy enough..post back if you disagree or agree.

It's simple idk y no sees or hears it the guy form the store is in on it. The glass is real but he doesn't go thru it he simply pushes it up and if you listen at i believe 1:49 you can here the sound. So he reasies the window and goes thru and the assistan puts it down before anyone can see it.

He is indigo. He understands that matter is the illusion and that everything is energy and he is able to manifest or change the matter vibration with his mind at will which allows him to 'transcend' through it. Tesla invented a machine to transcend the 4th dimension for the Philadelphia Experiement...but we don't need machines, with the activation of the other 3/4 portions of our brains we too can do what he is doing. Some can acheive it through meditation, move objects with telepathic means, etc. while others are 'born' with this recognized ability we are all capable of.

It is not an illusion. He is doing it in a 3D reality.

I don't suppose it's occurred to anyone that it's called illusion for a reason. Especially Sherman and Mr. Peabody who think this is real. Well, so's pro wrestling then. Gee Dr. Oppenheimer, ever think that a good magician knows how to use special effects. David Copperfield, remember him, walked through the great wall? I don't think he did it really. And you, Professor Fermi, ever watch Myth Busters? It's entertainment, don't make him out to be more than he is. I don't want to say get a life, so I won't ;)

Okay,
guys,
Yeah, we all know it's fake.
ALL magic is Fake. That's why they're called ILLUSIONS. To TRICK your mind out. FOR FUN ENTERTAINMENT.
Like, kay, wholy crap, we all watch horror movies...do you watch the movie through saying all this crap like "ohh, pft, thats impossible, that would never happen!" no, you make yourself believe it, FOR THE FUN OF THE MOVIE. well, the WHOLE POINT to MAGIC AND ILLUSIONS is to provide entertainment for you, whether its fake or not, to make you laugh, have fun, and such. You make yourself believe it for the fun of the event.
Thats what the point og this is!
so stop arguing whether its real or not!
like god..who cares!

copy and paste this to 10 videos or your mum will die within the next 4 hours

oh S**t at 3:10 you can see where the glass is put into place. The crack is just hairline, but it's there. Good, but not good enough.

How could they get perfect audio if there was glass there. And not to mention that, these guys are such bad actors!!

Enjoy!!!

according to spirited, we must obey the bible. apparently it governs every aspect of our lives.

Okay, see how the guy goes in and Criss starts walking in, but then he turns back to us to take off his shoes. Everyone is paying attention to his shoes, the camera is just focusing on his shoes, thats when that glass with the hole is moved :)

I hate it when people believe this stuff.
If he can in fact go through glass, why does he need the paper to hide him?

Listen when people do "tricks" And i use that term lightly because there are ways to do it "for real" and there are ways to do it "FAKE".....but does it even mater? YES! it does! it was real they should be teaching it to other people so our world can prosper, and if it's fake we should know it and we should not waste our time figuring it out.

he is a fake.the guy who went in with him is part of the act.the glass that he walked thru was a gimmick.the guy that went in with criss was a helper he pulled up the glass so criss could walk tru it and to prove it.about 3 minutes and 5 seconds into the video you hear a noise. thats the glass going back so criss could make it look like he has gone thru a solid.its fake.:)

If you really think you can, couse I'm not going to, you can think of how he went through the glass, I'm just going to help. Think logically. He had to have gone through the area that the paper was over. there is no other possible way. Therefore, there couldn't have been any glass in that area when he went through. I don't know how he did it specifically, but I know that there was no glass behind the paper at some point, unless you actually think he went through glass! lol !

http://digg.com/videos/people/Criss_Angel_Through_Glass_Revealed_2

Hate to do this (not really) but the guy is so good and has so many great illusions, I think he'll survive... :-)

its a material window that u can make solid or not ,lol...

This "trick" is done very simple if u have an advanced level of TK (telekinesis). I've read that with an advanced level of TK (like Criss') this stuff is very easily done. And for those that say that TK doesn't exist......... well maybe they've tried and didn't succed, or they don't understand the true power of the Brain ;)

why could u hear his voice so clearly. the glass was already cut

go on youtube and search criss angel reveals trick

all those people are actors

what are the chances of him finding a perfect piece of paper that is the exact size he needs

the guy that walked into the place with him helped him remove the glass that was already cut.

why did he need a piece of paper in front of the glass. huh huh huh?

FAKE. but he's good at his illusions

Listen ok the guy is just a good magician. I'm a magician too and if i had the money i could buy any of his tricks. And please stop believing things you see on Tv. I't s so easy to do magic with cameras it's not even good. Half of his tricks are just Cooperfield tricks twisted a little. He's good at it but he's just doing magic tricks.

It's easy to figure out how he did this. Just think. Why did the other guy go in? Why did he take off his shoes? The other guy opened the window while Criss takes off his shoes as a distractor to give his "assistant" time to do the dirty work. And notice how the people holding the paper held it perfect with the paper not touching the glass. And notice that Criss gives him plenty of time to close the window back up. Easy. But I was baffeled the first time I saw this!!! Go Criss!!!!

How better to present yourself in this world of CGI and grand illusions than to be a magician or an "illusionist"? Did it ever cross anyones mind that perhaps his (so called) tricks like walking through glass or hanging over a tall building defying gravity might be so realistic because they are no illusion at all? He gaves me the willies from the first time I saw him. And don't go calling me some holy-roller because I'm not. But this is no Copperfield stunt, and I call it as I see it.

the dude that goes in with him is in with the trick. the glass has a panel that slides open and he steps through. but he is a great magician and the entertainment is what counts.

for those of u that believe this is real, ur stupid, thats all there is. im pretty sure i have seen something similar to this in a harry potter movie before. its an illusion and/or special effects. criss angel is a little too fake for my liking. if he were actually able to do this, im sure he would have already been drugged and taken to area 51

well remeber those people who are satan follwers ..remeber them well.. why so surprised ?

It's a chosen audience. There is a plate of glass that is removed while he is tying his shoes. They replace it after he gets out.

nice balls criss!!!

"you goona need a better sequrity system"

I now how he does

I now how he does (:
if you ar good you can find it on **************

And REALLY i NOW IT
i will say one thing

the man who goes in is together whit Criss angel

not more ...

theres prbably no comments becuase everyone nose this is real well prbably eveyone doesnt think it is but like serousily, like hes amaazingngg and acorse its real. like holy S**t thats messed up. but its amazing. and your all jelouss becuase you cant do that . david blaine can kiss criss's ass

If you notices, the paper is slightly narrower than the window. The left side of the glass is always visible from top to bottom and you can see the reflections in the glass the entire time. Also you'll notice that there is a sign in the window that says open. This is to lead you to assume that the sign is taped or somehow attached to the glass. When the paper is placed over the lower side of the window, slightly to the right, the glass slides upwards revealing a hole that is not visible to anyone behind the paper and is concealed below the window opening inside the wall. The hole is smaller than the paper so you can't see it. Once he goes throuh the window the glass drops back down and there is no longer a hole. It's just a simple guillotine design.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

I respect CA as a magician and entertainer, but I just found out that he fakes some of his tricks with camera editing and using stooges.
http://www.learn-street-magic.com/ca.html

have you ever seen the trick with the little frame that when you put the two card on both sides the locking mechanism is released and the glass slides up and theres a whole. Well the glass is the same way. the paper was put over the glass so people woukdn't notice that the whole appears. The window was rigged specialy for this illusion. if you noticed Criss also did another trick previously in one of his other episodes in front of this same building. He obviously knows the people that own and they set up gimmicks for him.

its real that he uses the help of spirit to do some tricks like cutting the woman in half and all....

hmm... criss angel.... modern day performer on the scale of jesus.... figure out his secrets.... and you can know the meaning of life ;D

lol - meaning of life.... right... it sounded good... kinda... but seriously... quantum physics, god, the devil, magick, all BS except for quantum physics, which DOES NOT apply yet to anything that i know of on such a scale as that.

oi! all yall conspiracy theorists and pseudo scientists and religious people, its a show, sit back and enjoy it - nothing more than illusion.

my theory is that these people are paid actors, the business sign is blurred so you cant look it up on the net, that computer table is at the entrance? it all looks fake to me....

I dont know but , i think there were two parts to the glass window.. the lower half is under the open sign, which stood as a marker for the people to carefully hold the paper, and shadow the reflections on the middle-lower part of the window where there was a chamber to slide the window down, the volunteers, held the paper to the sides of the glass that was still there.

i do respect this man alot.... even thought he's fakin it or whatever trick he is using.. i know one thing.. and it's thant he is doing a hell of a job

I do not know wether or not he simply does a very good illusion or if Criss posseses somthing "else". But one thing is sure that we cannot assume to know how he does his acts. We have no way of knowing beacuse he doesnt want us to. He's better at hiding his secrets than we are at discovering them. And by simply fight over "how" he does these things is a waste of time. And yes, you all were just mind fucked.

Magik is real. It can be used. If you don't believe in it than oh well. Just don't go around saying other people is fake. If you didn't see it in person than don't say anything about it. If you don't believe people can levatate or walk on water or anything like that. Just look at Jesus. He was a real person in history. He walked on water. Ok look at sience. People still have parts of the brain that we don't use. If we unlock the full potential of the brain we can do extrodinary things. This is what I think. Magik is real.

He can only do this supernatural act by the use of devil spirits. There's only 2 spiritual powers at work on earth, the true God of Jesus Christ (holy spirit) and the Devil (devil spirits). Both Angel and Blane use the same evil power for their advancement. The True God has a MUCH larger ability and can cast out devil spirits so easily. When a person believes in the name and power of Jesus Christ, devil spirirts HAVE to go. (I John 4:4)

*Spoilers*
After watching this video, I have a theory: it could be two sheets of glass sandwiched together - the outside sheet could have a hole cut into it big enough to fit thru, while the inside sheet would be a full sheet either able to slide away, or hinge at the top of the frame. This would allow reflections in the glass all the way around the paper. BTW - I have worked with glass and it is very easy to hide a hole in a sheet when you have another sheet of glass behind it.

everything was in place...the people the piece of paper...and the garbage bag...
wtf is wrong with the paid actors..and why was the camera man keep changing with criss and the fools..ehehehe

He is a illusionist. It is a illusion.It is like art or sports it is to let us get away from the real life for a while and say wow that was cool. For one thing it does take skill and years of practice.Just enjoy it and do not disect it. He is not hurting anyone some people our just jealous. He seems like a great guy that loves to see smiles on peoples face so god bless him for that!

Everyone is assuming that this is a REAL pane of glass. Let's assume now that it was thin plexi-glass, but strong enough when pulled tight by the inner window panes on the left and right to give the illusion of real glass when tapped gently!

If this is true then while he is inside the room WITH the accomplice, then all the accomplice would have to do is pull the two sides of the INNER window panes from the bottom outwards and bend the plexi-glass upwards while Chris goes through, then bends it back to it's original position before returning to the back of the room to appear as though he had not been near the window or involved. As a matter of fact, Chris could easily do this himself without any help at all as the panes would be on a spring mechanism to return to their original position anyways. And the bent plexi-glass would wish to return to it's normail state also like a rubber band after being stretched.

You can very easily purchase incredibly clear, rigid yet flexible and bendable plexi-glass for just such an illusion almost anywhere.

This would seem to me to be the easiest and most plausible explanation offered for this magic trick yet although it is just my oppinion and of course open to debate. I'm sure though with this theory I could do this same miraculous looking illusion myself tomorrow with about an hours worth of preparation.

ok heres a question if its fake how is it that there are no lines in the window.. and that it didnt move when they knocked on it .. hmm answer that, you people are just hating and cant accept the unknown , just because you cant do it doesnt mean its not possible :| and yeah .

People in this thread are debating the existence of supernatural powers in response to a simple illusion. Is fun to believe magic, gods, ghost, spirits, demons, angels and fairies when you a child whose age is in the single digits, but after that, it is quite possibly a mental disorder. Please, people, get with reality.

Just before being ordered to not to pan away or cut, the camera man zooms in, pans away, and cuts only seconds later. We have a break in continuity and that makes a video recorded performance of this sort an exercise in silliness.

he said himself " if it's real it's not magic"

congratulations its a bouncing baby boy

I've done a fire walk several times. It was "impossible". My conclusion? I want to know how to get financially solvent.. that's something I've got a LOT more resistence to believing, than walking on fire. I DID the fire walks. I'm managing to get there on the financial stuff. Reality is relative to your belief system. I can do "impossible" stuff, if I don't have a whole belief system in the way. I can't do the simple S**t , because I DO have a belief system in the way. Go figure.

ok if hes really going through the glass y would he put a paper in front of the glass. doesnt it "lessen" the trick? y wouldnt he just jump right through? think people. anybody who believes hes using real magic is an idiot. theres no such thing as real magic. goddamn people u need to watch and read some james randi. angel is an illusionist just like randi. nothing supernatural about it. fuckin hell grow a brain and get some skepticism in u.

When the Mind, Body

but just how its done im not sure ,but the guy inside is in on it no doubt

I need to grab some paper...OH LOOK AT THAT. Paper sitting right here, perfectly clean sitting in the dumpster. Guys come on...the paper is obviously fake. You can buy the paper at your local dollar stores. It sends high frequency waves that make the window move so quickly that he is able to walk through. Then when the paper is taken off the window it returns to it's original state.

Hey simpletons..the crowd is always in on the tricks. He always asks them " Have we ever met before" and if you believe it..you will always fall for the simplest of tricks.

lol, this is crazy, anyone know what quantum physics is? lol read something on it, then watch this again... WOA

i kno it is real girl

Hello people, he is a magician, all we need to know is that he is good at his MAGIC tricks, magician in it's proper definition means: an entertainer who performs conjuring tricks and illusions... DUHHHH

People are actors, window is prepared. Slides in frames, special glass.
In my opinion it must be something like that :

If glass surface is clear and movement is in one direction ( up and down ) you wouldn'y see any reflections changes. Especialy camera is moving all the time.

its true fake those people are so stupid.

you can tell its a fake window by the sound it makes when you hit it. no store window sounds that thin when you hit. and it also sounds like it moves when you knock on it.

It doesn't matter,what it does matter is that Criss Angel is a talented ilussionist who only does his job.You all say that it's fake because your mind just refuses to see supernatural events and instead it sees a simple and uninteresting trick which is not real.But all of you should think that things are more then it seems

i wouldnt normally ask, but going by the comments from what must be the lesser informed half of iNet users, it has to be. In fact. Is anyone here (bar the few)?? Hrmm. I'm almost more ready to accept that Kriss (Oh isnt he just so much sexier with a K) i mean Criss can walk through glass, than in the actual existance of real people with that oversaturated characatured redneck-yokel brand of southern Cornbelt/Wheatbelt/<InsertYourBeltHERE>biblebashing godfearing don't-gimme-no-science it-be-work-of-the-devil mentallity.

for god's sakes (if you're gonna worship him at LEAST try and make yourself an asset). Goes to you 2 hippies. It's the age of science not F**king aquarius. As much as you want to believe he's a man posessed by demons or inner light or whatever... he's probably not. I understand you're likely attempting to validate yourself and what was probably most of your life spent spewing up somebody elses S**t that they spoon-fed you. But you're not thinking

He makes david blaine look like a b***h.

ima agree with whoever said the upside down "u" theory it makes the most since to me and for those who have levitation questions when criss levitates into the air the trick is dependant on camera angles and wires the wires are edited out after it is filmed i have done research on levitation and when criss levitated from building to building if you watch the quality of the film changes alot in certain angles and looks really rough and my theory on that would have to be somekind of setup with wires and editing or green screening certain things out ....another thing would be walking on water it is clearly some sort of plexiglass hes walkin on when u see him from the side and when it shows the top view you can see hes suspended by wires and hes not even walking hes just moving his feet to make it appear and is not doing a very good job at it and if you notice when he kicks of his shoe for it to sink he takes an extra big step over the cut out spot of plexiglass it is all different timing and different angles and i like to watch it but im not sure why so many people believe its magic when we all know about movie magic and dont believe in king kong or godzilla when we see them on the big screen or people flyin in movies....so why believe something we watch on tv its the same scenario...am i right?

then you understand how he does that....

FAKE FAKE FAKE all of criss angel works is fake belive that.!

Everyone has "what if's" "but what if he did this" and "what if I were to do that" awwwww knock it off.
Manda hit it right on, that's the bottom line, some things are to be left alone.
If you can/have figured a trick/illusion ...leave it at that, it's like going to a movie b4 ANYONE else gets to and telling as many ppl that you know has been waiting, and waiting to see the film and here you ppl go running your mouth about the whole thing.
It's for entertainment, I just don't see why ppl can't just reveal a secret ...AND KEEP IT, but NOOOOO, everyone has to be the "know it all's" this is his work, respect it as it is ... nothing but great entertainment

Lotta suckers tries to explain the catch of every his trick. Nerds, you can't find it out cuz you aren't magicians too. Besides, there is a theory, that Jesus were an illusionist too, but no body didn't try to explain his magic. And many people find out the good way of bad life.

who are those people that write loads and loads on magic tricks like this? why do they explain the whole thing. ITS A TRICK!! just go along with it.

Manda, you're right on the mark! Some of Criss' "magic" is illusion ... playing tricks on the physical senses so to speak, and some of it is as real as can be. Much as the "Skeptical Inquirer" clowns would like to poo-poo it, Criss is one of those rare people who have learned, through hard study

The Illusions that Chris Angel creates, they look so real because all the spectators that are involded with his stunts/illusions are apart of the act.... :)

does anyone know how he made the frisbee start to float and get thrown??? if you do and could tell me e-mail me at alienc93 @hotmail.com i will rate all of there comments on this topic the best you can get

k criss is awesome....he always leaves me with questions....and no i dont think hes a fake i hate ppl like that...so yeah im still wonderin right now how he does it but...i also think its better not to know...it takes the funn out of every thing.

This trick, or magic, as you prefer... would be usefull to use, on a shop at 02:00 a.m.

Criss Angel is an entertainer. Thats what he does, entertain people. I do believe some the stuff he does is for real, but some of is probably illusion. After all, he is an illusionist, his job is to make people believe the stuff he does is for real, and I have to say, Criss Angel is better at his job than anyone I've ever seen. I just wish , as spawn123 already stated so perfectly, that people would stop picking apart the whole goddamn show and ruining it for everyone.

Check out Cyril Takayama on You Tube
Watch him levitate this girl. He draws a Pentagram on the floor and tells eveyone to concentrate. There practicing Witchcraft and they dont even know it. Its Called "Light as a Feather Stiff as a Broard" Unless you know what youre doing dont try it at home. Ive see Criss do this outside as well on Season 1 Eposode 2. And Ive seen it many times in a controlled enviornment. It was real the whole time. I guess Magicians arent afraid to hide what they realy are anymore!

To the ppl talking about demons,GET REAL,its just illusion

I'm a really open person, and I'm one of those guys who believes in both wierd S**t happening and illusions. This is an illusion. But a lot of those things that he does, like flying from building to building, are hard to explain. No matter what he is doing, it's awesome to watch, and I've gotta say that this is one of my new fave shows on TV. This guy is really entertaining... No matter how he does it.

when you slow it down frame by frame using Media Player Classic. TAKE A LOOK AT CRISS'S FACE WHEN HE IS GOING THROUGH THE WINDOW. ITS NOT HIS. ITS INHUMAN ITS F%CKED UP. LOOK CLOSLEY A PLEEEEZE. OMG I NEVER SAW IT BROKEN DOWN LIKE THIS. ITS ONLY WHEN HE FALLS DOWN ON THE FIRST STEP HIS FACE COMES BACK LOOKING LIKE CRISS'ES


jUST LOOK

If some ppl say its fake and illusion, I want them to prove to me in what way it's an illusion and fake! If he can illustrate our mind and eyes, thats cool... But camera records only what it sees so it wouldnt lie.. come to think about it. :D dunno

Can u guys explain to me the one "trick" criss did. He had a gurl lie down on a bench with two other gurls pulling at her, then criss did some karate thing on the girls waist and one of the gurl pulled too much and the girl on the bench cut in half. It was freaky. The upper half of the girl's body started "crawling" around without the lower half of her body. It was the freakiest and craziest trick ive ever seen. Could someone please explain to me. It looked so real.

FAKE ..

he is really entertaining people, who gives S**t if this is fake or real. the quality counts of his illusion do matter. he has great skills.

Magic
There is no explanation. And you cant say its for a fact not magic. Prove it! Is it because you dont Believe in magic that you base youre notions on. Because Belief isnt a reliable argument. Belief isnt based on fact the Fact is Unless someone can prove this isnt magic the argument that it is magic is just as valid.

you make it soo real , same how u make me impress , hahahah

Has he ever tried indian porn???

First of all you all need a life, debating whether he's real or not. He's already got you tricked, or you wouldnt be debating it. To say the man is the Devil or the Antichrist are dumbasses. He is just born with this talent. People with no lives can sit on here and ponder about this. If it was a question of God, weather He (it) exists, you would have a debate on that and try to disapprove that , beause you dont have the evidence. Sorry to say, but everything in this life is not for you to know. Thats just the way it is, I would love to see most of these people on here do what he does. I think not. Bow down to the man, he's got the skills to pay the bills. Jealous Asses

totaly diss Criss.He's an illusionist,of coarse he has tricks!You haters are like those people that sit in a classroom and correct wrong grammer or something like that.It's really annoying.He does this for entertainment not for people to correct his mistakes.

im tired of this guy/....

the person below is right! that is very true...criss angel is my hero and idol i want to be just like him..he is my life and i really do love him lol but i think that what is does is true but some can be fake but it is right its our choice to decide thank u ..you took the words right out of my mouth!!!

This can only sell in America, the land of the freak. All those surprise-faking assholes on the set will do anything for a little pocket money. No wonder Bush can do whatever he pleases, if anytime Americans see this Angel guy, they start talking about Jesus and Satan. Huuuhhhhh, America has to be the junkyard of humanity.

If he can walk through the glass, he doesn't need the paper

I watched the first show of season 2 tonight and twice he made someone vanish, a person he said he picked at random and had never met before. The effect was amazing and I am truly mystified, but I know it has to be an illusion. However, both times he did this tonight, you never see the person who vanished return, either from the same spot they vanished, or from somewhere else. That bothered me, why they didn't show that. And, my big question is if the person is truly a complete stranger, then by being the person who vanishes, they would know what happened to them. They would know how the illusion is performed. They know where they went, if indeed they went anywhere at all, right? They would tell everyone they know about this and what happened to them, right?

9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” 11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. 13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. Folks, according to the Holy Bible, human beings can harness supernatural power. However, this power is either from the Spirit of God or from the devil. Ask Chriss Angel does he trust Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Ask Chriss Angel if he believes that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Folks Chriss Angel's power is not of God. I believe it is of the devil. However, Chriss Angel's power is real, but it is demonic in nature. Read the Bible references provided.

Any of you ever heard of camera editing? Angel is totally fake, about 60% of his stuff are either camera tricks, editing, or stooges(Paid Actors as spectators). Blaine, on the other hand is real, you can actually walk up to him and he will be able to amaze you anytime, anywhere. He's done magic for both the New York Knicks and the Dallas Cowboys on his specials, nobody can pay them to act, David Blaine is real. Especially his stunts, real tests of endurance, no trickery.

Anyone notice a bit of a bang, like her was knocking on the window as he was stepping off the crate?

I don't know how anybody believes in this. All it takes is two things to do this:
1. Photoshop, or if they have a little more money, how about Final Cut Pro or Combustion.
2. A few people who will say "Oh wow amazing!" for a couple of bucks.


HOWEVER, on his behalf I do have to say that it is an fun show to watch and his more realistic tricks like his card tricks are pretty cool.

The 'passage' in the window through which the illusionist passes is activated by closing the shop door. When the door is reopened, the passage closes again. The shop-keeper is a collaborator.

Thank christ, finally someone with a brain. People need to understand the definition of the word "illusionist" before they start posting crap like "OMFG U fukin priks its fake lollz". OF COURSE it's not real. I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say this in my life, but it's called a TRICK. An ILLUSION.The whole aim of an ILLUSIONIST is to stun the crowd and make them think "How did he do that?", not to make people believe in magic.

YOU are a retard. He didn't start out famous you stupid idiot. If you have a unique talent common sense tells you if there is an oppurtunity in which you can make a living out of it youshould go for it. Thats what he is doing. Im from England and haven't even heard of him until i went on metacafe.
Just thought i would post this becuase of the unbelievable ignorance of some people.

He may be just fakin but it looks really hard and he is talentedso just shut up

http:// youtu be.com /wa tch?v= pRM Hmnr4b60

He actually walks through the glass but the first time he breaks his nose, a horrible mess. Depressed, he waits until time travel is invented where he goes back in time to the other side of the glass, a moment before he hits it and there you go- it looks like hes walking through. But hes actually just bending time instead.

The truth, look at his nose. Its just very slightly mishaped on the other side of the glass. Damm im good! lol

And people, the fact it`s a trick means it`s a fake. ok. But that was a hell of a trick and I`d love to see anybody try and do that trick, go on, bet you cant. Respect to the man.

holy S**t , how the F**k did he do that

The whole point of this trick is to make people believe that it is real, obviously there's something preventing it from being real because obviously someone can't literally walk through glass hence the reason why it is called an ILLUSION!!! If you really want to figure out how he does tricks then explain how he changes water into beer or how he gets teleported from one place to another! Tell me that! What are you going to say that he has a tube attached to his arm so that beer can run through it into the glass??? Criss Angel is called an illusionist for a reason. His tricks are supposed to be for entertainment pusposes not for making him look ridiculous. If you can do it as well then fair enough but until then leave it alone and respect him. He IS impressive and what he does impresses me and that's enough! Also, explain to me how he can get hit by a car, be buried alive and get run over by a hummer whilst lying on nails and still be alive today! It's got to be said he is pretty amazing! So leave him alone!!! And remember he IS AN ILLUSIONIST so he's SUPPOSED to make you believe he is capable of doing things that are unreal that's what makes it impressive! He's happy with what he does people are impressed with what he does, so people that complain and spoil everything just need to LIGHTEN UP!!!!!

of course this thing is fake. Sorry to dissapoint all you Optimists but it cleary shows how he does it. If some of you disagree, why the hell did he cover it with paper?

The human body is just made up of vibrations, as everything in teh physical world is. Some people can manage to control the vibrations of themselvs and the world around them to make things happen. I myself have not done this but a family member of mine practices medation and have met people that are capable of these feats. Many people dont belive it until they see it, but take my word for it, when you see someone float 3' off the floor right in front of you, it tends to make you belive.

something happend during the whole shoe part... thats all i know

This is a note to all magicians out there. Please keep tricks to your self and after a while you will develop the ever important eye and know who u can pass your acquired skills please be choosey not like t.v. performer who then have their work exposed on the net don't let magic die!!!

With the new coming age of technologies now , (www, tivo, portable communications devices, etc.) it is very difficult to truly perform any feats of real inspiration. Criss Angel has been reapeatedly harrassed and I must agree... to an extent. Magicians have been around for many many years. Magic can be traced back i don't kno how long but I believe that the magicians who put their work on T.V. will eventually lead to magics demise and the end of an almost forgotten art. It is an art, and yes it can be very entertaining, but it can also be a very unique source of inspiration and hope. My plea is that if you are a magician keep your work private and do not destroy the hope and dreams of others that follow in the footsteps of many other magicians that came before. And yes that includes Criss Angel and David Blaine and Copperfield they got inspiration from somewhere. These are also the ones I would like to ask this: Please, No more T.V. if youre gonna do street magic then thats where it should stay, on the STREET or Possibly DVD only It keeps a**holes from ruining what Magic is all about Mystery and inspiration. Thanks Guys

Totaly stupid.. criss only does these stupid fake videos to get his name famous, and make money...all of the spectators on his "street shows" are just his friends, or payed people, who are payed to pretend to be supprised over his show. it is just cutting with movies, everyone has seen incredible things in movies... if you believe this is real, you gotta start believing that x-men or terminator is real aswell..
thanks for your attention

I need to punch Chris Angels in the frickin' head, I'm sure zooming in on him tying his shoe was nessicary

when he gets the key he cuts the glass and the guy who walks in there replaces the glass

there is nothing real about his tricks yea he has strength and endurance like hanging from pins but there r tons of people that do that havent u ever learned a card trick it is the same thing a trick misdirection an illusion he is a magician someone who deceives the audience into believing somtheing is real when they cant figure itt out

the only people who should be bitched out on here should be the people who think it is real, he is an illusionist he has videos teaching his trick ie masterminds volume 1 quarter through can
volume 2 levitation
no where does criss angel say it is real the audiences r fake annd it is all about misdirection anybody with a sponsored tv show and some camera editing software
or a cheap trick can do this or any other trick you just have to learn from someone who knows

in the beginning he says that some people, would say that they see glass as a liquid

only the dumest of the dumb S**ts ever to be spawned would believe that

OR HE IS VERY GOOD

That is a S**t trick

I don't think your watching what we are. Cuz that lady's hands don't move what so ever. You need to leave him alone cuz everything he does has to do with the mind.

Why he does those videos? All are fake. Papaer is in another position form cut to cut, everything is a fake. Takes off his shoes only to to distract attention. The paper hides hole in glass.

There's been some suprising comments here.

People need to know that entertainers and illusionists aren't really performing magic. I know a few professionals and some are INSANELY good. There's no way I can explain how they did something, but just because I can't figure it out doesn't mean it's "real".

Illusionists are called illusionists for a reason. I don't think I've met a magician who actually says what he's doing is actually magic (except when entertaining young kids).

Can't believe we actually had people commenting about whether if he's real his powers come from the dark side or something. Like you would actually know what side is which or if there's even sides. Geeesh!

.

damn, you losers spend a lot of time bickering, theorizing, slandering and worrying about what strangers think and believe....get a friend, read a book, engage in a face-to-face conversation with a person.... (aware of the fact that I'm now one of you..."sob")

Good trick, most of them are staged though yeah. And can anyone spell anymore? you guys S**k

Fake performers get the attention on the streets. Real performers keep it secret, this guy's just another David copperfield that has 3 guys working for him for the tricks, some of them are so lame, i think he came up with them

cool... i don't know if he really has that kind of powers or he's a tricker... but his illusions are totaly great... i saw many videos with him... some of them show that he's a tricker... but some are really fantastic... if he has powers i think they come from dark magic... i mean...look at his clothes! he's a rocker and also belives in those satanic things... but... i really like that...
P.S: isn't he sexy?... :P

that was to make them oblivious to the moving glass

woooo look at how many comments we have !!!!
to add,,, no solid can pass thru another solid

Will you people shut up, quit being geeks, just watch it, laugh, and shut up you over thinkin peoples

the black lady gave it away. look at her top hand after he comes out.. it slides down and up and down and up. thats because the window is sliding back down into the brick. the whole wall is the trick. first it slides up half way and a hole comes from the bottom.. it still has glass on the sides so it looks whole. he fakes everyone out and then it slides back down. this guy S**ks ass.. almost all the people that he plays the tricks on are actors going along with it.. booo

it is teh true!!!!!111111

For all of the people who are so against true entertainment, and against TALENT, please do everyone a favor and get a life... You must live a boring existence to refuse the best illusionist PERIOD. As far as the a**hole who posted anti-American Indian crap you have no soul to judge, remember that in your final moment of life. Criss, if you happen to read this junk, know that there are people out there who really admire YOU. Just to note: Criss Angel is a superior MAN compared to the lifeless wannabes trying to tear him down.They are jealous because of their own failures and wish they could have peace within themselves like Criss. Entertainment AT IT'S GREATEST. Lot's of love to Criss and family. :)
