  • you guys are all wrong.

    hes got a minature man on the back of his neck that uses the mop on his head for concealment and pushes the chain from the back of his neck to the front. alot of these tricks are easy if you have good rapport with lilliputians. gulliver invented all these tricks.

    WTF is with some of you touting 'fake'? I assume this means you think there's another kind of magic that's 'real' and Chris Angel is doing the 'fake' kind?

    It's entertainment folks, that's all.

    By LightenUp 1138998227
    • Yes there is!

      don't you read Harry Potter? It's all around us...

      By someone54521 1139759737
    • observe the strange behavior

      when I want to lay a chain around my neck, I take it over my head. Chris not. He has two small hooks under his hair behind his neck, there he fastens the chain. The way he takes the 2 ends from back to front is strange, he avoids crossing them in the back. Thats all

      By buttload 1150010635
    • I know right,

      there's some logical way that he managed to do it, the fun of watching it is trying to figure out how, am I right?

    By Maksim 1139047288
    • LOL

      this is a very easy trick... heres how you do it.

      ok when he puts the chain behind his back... he doesnt overlap them when he pulls them around. He pulls them back the same way he set them and then ties it. I just did it with my ps2 controller lol... its easy

      By DrSun 1152917973
    • your on

      even better lets tell everyone how its done. its a 3rd grade trick we all did wiyh string,plus a small wire.ok when you put the chain around your neck you dont cross it behind you, yuo just swist a small wire around the links,and return the ends back the way they came.this is the illusion that they make a loop around the neck.but in reality its not. get it i hope this is clear now.

      By evildon69 1139191749
    • fake (i know, your tired of it)

      i thought it was the way the knot was tied, it obvously didnt wrap around his neck though.

      By yeahboooooooooy 1145045594
    • NEAT FEAT BUT YOU GOT IT BEAT!

      CORRECT CORRECT . . . IT'S A LOOP-KNOT TWISTED BACKWARDS SO THE ENDS ARE REALIGNED TO SEPARATE!

  • no offense

    but look at ur self carefully when he starts to put the chain around his neck, he DOES not round it off around his neck look again and ull see what i mean, he just puts it on his neck and there is some hook behind in his hair that holds it,
    nice trick but not convincing,
    david blaine makes it more interesting

    By fahadyounus 1238236593

    i know how to do that trick except for the knot part at the end

  • Wow

    A brand new, top notch chain on a manky skip, what a good co-incidence. A bit like the chaines Chris has dangling from his neck over his shirt.

    By james_parker 1207772445
  • hahaha

    this is trick not done by faking putting it around his neck. thats way too hard to fool people with. this trick is done by, as people have said, tying it in a specific way. im just wondering what he'd so if he accidently ties it wrong. hes gunna choke himself one day trying to do this trick too fast.

  • Telekinesis

    That is what I think. Criss has the psychic ability ability to move objects, living beings, things and energies with his mind and spirit.
    I truley believe Criss has achieved a deep understanding of how energy and the universe work.

    I know its tempting on the internet to guess who criss does this or who does that...

    We started magic because we wanted to "entertain" friends and family....

    thats what Criss is an Entertainer...

    So lets all just sit back and enjoy the show!

    By hey81 1177745689
  • its simple

    no body there that said they could see it around his neck really could, his hair was blocking it. he had it hooked on his collar, and it was tied in a knot before it was pulled. While everyone was looking the other way he rubbed his neck to make it red so it looked like the chain passed through it.

    By crazyboy4793 1167874122
  • Look, it's not that hard to find out.

    Don't read this unless you really want to know how he did this illusion.

    He never tied it around his neck. He just stuck it a bit down his shirt or something then it just unraveled in front of him. He had hair that covered his neck up so the people behind him still got the full effect of the trick. Go practice!

    By relient nelson 1167275210
  • Heres how its done!

    The chain is never really around his neck. He puts the first wrap behind his head. Acting like hes tieng a knot when really hes just securing it to make sure it does fall when he lets it go .. then watch how he puts the second wrap around his neck, notice how he lets the first go and then grabs from the new one.... its confusing .. but if you get a chain .. and do exactly what he does. anyone can do it ..

    By ksnagg21 1166485192
  • It is a easy trick that fools the mind.

    I saw this same trick messed up by a magician who's prop failed. When he passes the chain behind his neck it never really wraps around his neck, instead it is attacked under his hair. When it is pulled it seems to go right through his neck. Look how he hesitates once his hands are behind his neck, its not a long pause, but long enough for a good magician. Right before the pull on the magician who flopped this trick, the chain fell loose from his neck. You have to know all of the tricks are a illusion that fools the mind.

    By Sharkbait13 1165334364
  • Think I know how he did it..

    If you look carefully the chain doesn't go around the back of his neck, I think he makes it look like it is looping around the back but it actually isn't. maybe the chain is magnetic or something

    By glennsfield8 1165144271
  • easy

    he doesnt cross the chain behind his neck, so its not actually ever completely around his neck in the first place. a seven year old could do this

    By maestronumber9 1165046236
  • Any magic in that? i m just a spectator....

    the chain went back his neck, without a knot, came back through the same side and made a knot near his throat, which comes after the pull.
    Lol its magic...but its cris angel!

    By Ninu N 1164196899

    my fav part was the end "here if we put this around your neck" "eennh" rotfl that was great!

  • trick

    the way criss tied the chian makes this magic

    By edis0N 1161887471
  • i know how he did tht

    when he move both sides of the chain back of his neck, he didnt tie it, he didnt change the side of the chain, maybe just use some special clip to hold the chian together,,,, you guys get wht i mean????

    By beebuubeebuu 1160971689
  • How to

    It is just a special way to tie the chain is all if I had a camcorder I would post it on here.

    By Blue Zombie 1159837924
  • He never *SPOILER alert??*

    He never tied it around his neck... They never showed it going around... He just sat the loops on his shoulders... Or atleast thats how it looked like. Its good entertainment though

    By jakewild 1159481846
  • idiots

    real or fake noone has any idea on how he does his tricks if you did then you would have your own tv show and be getting paid lots, my sister saw him at the aladdin hotel and he performed and i dont think she would lie about what she saw and guess what she wasn't paid. why watch if you think it is fake?

    By believer1 1159225937
  • ummm

    yea i am a criss lover but i have 2 save that is fake cuz all u have to do is tie the rope or chain a certain way and it will come loose.

    By ilovecriss 1158970261
  • you morons!!!!

    He didn't tie the chain at his back!!! You guys are so stupid!!! I tried doing what he did and I succeeded. He only used someting to keep the chain at he back made a knot in front then when you pull the chain you will see a knot. That's it. WTF is wrong with you morons!!!

    By boobtube 1158582216
  • GREAT!

    Chris is great! I love watching his tricks and illusions. I'm starting to think that some of the people that watch this only watch so they can criticize the guy. Let's see you try it. GoodLUCK! HA HA HA!!!!

    By d-dawg 1156471889
  • -_-'

    he didnt actualy put that around his neck. How to explain... The key are hes hairs. Notised that he put in in front. The right end (at he begining) didnt actualy go around hes neck (same left). So at the end right one is on right side and left on left
    EASY

    By Vilolator 1155859883

    look what hes doing with his hands in the back of his head .. he rigging it to be a simple slip Knot ... he rigges it so it looks like.. it goes all the way around.. there is also 2 loops.. so even if he rigged it.. it looks like he didnt...ive never been able to do this trick myslef but i know how it is done .. also notice the back and sides of the neck when it is pulled.. never touches it

    By Baxterman 1155018524
  • bored reading comments...

    That was a real trick...

    he didn't cross the chain behind him. he just put a hook or something that holds the chain so it will not easily loose from his back... that was so easy.

    criss is a great magician but sometimes i just have to wonder about him. I can't believe he would heven do this trick on tv! This is a very easy beginner trick. All magicians know how this is done.

    By TheMav 1151222409
  • Its a trick

    When he put the chain from front to back(not from back to front),
    When he move the chain from back to front over hear he is actually not crossing these chains cos of his long hairs we cannot able to see, then in front he ties up.
    that means this chain is not at all round to his neck, magic over

    By live_a_little 1147928721
  • it's real

    the chain uses angles and magnetic forces in your blood stream. the chain actually goes through his neck. it is an amazing feat, but anyone can do it. and not just your neck, your leg, your arms, for great entertainment you can even do it through your pecker. try it!!

  • It's not fake, and it's not even hard to...

    Yesterday a friend of mine did the same trick, and he's not even a magician, it's just about the way he does the 1st knot, the next 1 or 2 knots, don't affect the 1st one, so it's not fake -.-"

    By Spike2040 1146327583

    I am not a magician but a performer. I would like to tell that it is really difficult to do that illusion with chains. Criss rules*100.

    By Yoges 1146239189
  • justread

    my wife and i saw him in vegas, and we understand that magic is an illusion, but wath this guys show. he is always telling how being clean and sober has allowed him to get in touch with his spirit and that makes his "magic" possible. anyways we saw one of his tricks being filmed live and it was totally cheesy. he was trying to make a dove float in m,id air and he ahs a little platform extending out from his waste.

    By Holy shizite 1140988480
  • EZ Done

    The trick is simple for a long haired man like chris, he just straps the chain behind his neck, both sizes are holded separetedly, just holded by some kind of tape maybe or "velcro" (i don't know if its spelled right), so what if he made a knot? the chain never crossed itself it was kept with separeted sides under the hair. It's easy, and you can see when he straps the chain behind his neck.

      Thats because this is taken from an episode from his show 'mind freak', which he does his trick continously.

  • Who Cares!

    Nobody said that it had to be magic! Hes an illusionist! Meaning he makes ways of making your mind thinking something weird happened Really its just knowledge! And knowing what makes you fell weird after he does it! Thats what makes Cris Angel Rock! Not stupid magic tricks! Kinda like that illusion where u look at a grid and u think u see dots but there not there! Same thing! Now watch it again and tell me that aint cool!

  • The same old....

    I'm with FedUp on this one. This is a very simple party trick and Criss Angel is capable of much better. I love a good magic trick but this sort of thing doesn't do much for his reputation.

  • The same old...

    end over shoulder same end back trick. You learned it years back with kiddies "Hocus Pocus" magic sets. (you loop the one end into the other at the back of your neck so it looks as if your looping it around your neck). For dramatic effect he presses down on the knot in front for at least some resistance and the reddish patch.

    • .

      Who the f$#%# cares if its old or new! Its done, its cool. If you can do such things, then tape it and show it to the public to intertain it, otherwise stop saying "same old", yada, yada.
      Just enjoy the show!

  • Oversells

    Chris really "oversells" his illusions with all his over-the-top acting (pain, exhaustion, etc.). OK, it was fun to watch but ease up on the drama Chris. We all know these are "tricks" so don't try to win a damn Oscar!

    By Blade2000 1173987016

  • boring

    This guy is starting to get soooo boring, even a small get could realize what he have done.

    Check his hands when he wraped the chain on his neck , he spent like a second or two with his hands in the back of his head and he simply twisted the chain sides and hanged it somehow with a weak hanger in the tip of his jacket or shirt.

    So easiy to notice , even you can do it. try and see.

  • ...

    I F**king hate it when he pretends to be in pain or also shoked with the public after a trick... it makes everything more fake.
