watch in slow motion when he pushes the glass off the table. his finger goes inside of the shadow of the glass. also you couldnt push that kind of glass from the top and slide it, it would tip over onto the table.

You don't even notice, but by bitching at Criss for for not doing his tricks the way you think it'd be correct, you make yourself sound like a fool who believes in magic.
You kids..1564312 - Oh the Skeptics.
I've seen him in New York, and he is GREAT live. It was Soooo cool. I have no clue how he does the illusions but he does them well.

Do you expect a human being to do "real" magic?1564312 - Good catch!
I just recently got into Criss Angel trying to figure out how he does these "illusions" slight of hand?

I stopped the video between 11 and 12 seconds...yes, the olive moves even before his real human hand pokes out his index finger. Also right at about 11 seconds, the shadow extends the index finger before his human hand does.1646624

of course its not real. its to watch just for fun...

he pushed the glass in the middle of the holder, u try it, i did, the glass diddnt tip over once and i tryed it 10 times, and u should listen to what he says, watch your own shadow trying to touch another, the shadow is always longer then the persons body, his shadows shadow touched the glass so i think u need to look again.

Look that trick is pretty cool dont you think. All you ass say it's fake. If you think he is such a loser than you do it your self of see him do it in person and then you all can start talkn bull.

the video? First off, the olive on the glass moved before his finger (look at his real hand, not the shadow because of the bad quality of the video it's hard to tell) even began to flick at it, it was already 1/2 way across the glass....

but magic is about tricking the participants, including us watching, that he could be real. It's too easy to dismiss his stunts since they're performed in a casino with only a few people around. David Blaine is nearly impossible to dismiss, unless you just don't like magic. I love that shoe laces trick he did on the Drowned special.

"magic" happens when he askes the witness to pick a number on the table. He has to be quick and when Criss notices which number she goes for he quickly taps the attendee next to him the quantity the witness chooses. Then Criss stands back and does the tapping the shadow thing and asks the atendee what she felt. Note: He only askes what she felt, not when she felt it, or how many times he feels him tap her 3 times1827443 - ok..makes some sense..
but explain how he does it the second time. he asks her twice.
By STREETMAGICIAN 1153254154 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove1769620 - STUPID
THE GIRL THAT PICK THE CARD KNOWS THAT SHE HAS TO PICK THE NUMBER THREE AND THE ONE THAT WAS TOCHED KNOWS THAT THE NUMBER IS THREE IF SHE REALLY FELT ANYTHING SHE WOULD MOVE A LITTLE WHEN HE TOUCHES HER !
By theastronauta 1163315653 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3233776 - good questions..
1 - Power of suggestion. He asks her to "randomly point here finger at a number". Most people would not reach all the way across the table to get the number 9. They are going to to what is convenient.
By toothbrush 1153341150 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
2 - He asks her the same question twice. "What did you feel?" She answers "3 taps on my back". She has no clue where he is at cause here eyes are closed and he asks her again "Once again, what did you feel?". You have to think about what that question would sound like to you if you had your eyes closed. All she knows is that he did tap her back 3 times and thats all she answers.
Then after it's all over all she says is he tapped my back 3 times. Cause that is exactly what he did, when the witness was preoccupied picking out a number.
In any trick there is a misdirection. Why cant she just hold up her fingers to give him the quantity. No, he askes her to point with her finger at a series of numbers he laid out. Also notice that the camera angle completely follows her hand to show what she chooses. The trick has a good effect. Criss is a master of misdirection.1827443 - but
then how did he make the chair fall?

It doesn't make it any less fun to watch. I, myself, have never believed that someone is vanishing, or that someone is being sawn in half, or any of dozens of other tricks I have seen magicians do, but I still enjoy them. Of course it's fake; take pleasure in watching the consummate showman ply his trade.
By Muttley the Dog 1170831381 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
3290501 - it makes sense
cause before he does it the second time, he says again..."taps"....what did you feel? as you said if your eyes were closed, it would sound as if he were just asking you to repeat what you felt.

1769620 - mmm, yeah ok..
your interpretation of the trick makes sense, i'll have to try that on some people sometime. you got to admit though, it'd be kind of cool to see him do it with a greater number amount. =D

how could he possibly tap the girl 9 times w/out the first girl seeing him had she picked the 9??

Criss is a magician... the generally accepted definition of a magician is: someone who fools you with clever tricks.
Hey 'When Nature Calls', if you think there's such a thing as REAL magic, then you're deluded. There has never been one documented case of REAL magic being performed under scientifically controlled conditions. Why? Because there's no such thing. AAMOF, many of the great illusionists (if you prefer that term to magician) have spent a large part of their careers DISPROVING the existance of REAL magic and exposing charlatans. They freely admit that they are tricksters.... so does Criss.
As far as camera tricks, Criss generally doesn't use them. He performs the illusion as you would see them if you were there. Magicians use misdirection to draw the spectators' eyes away from where the "magic" is happening in order to achieve their goal, whatever that goal may be. The difference with live performance and video performance is that the camera doesn't look away and cannot be distracted. The other difference is that when it's live, you cannot play it back and view it in slo-mo. It's easy to play something over and over and analyze it and maybe figure it out, or at least point out what's wrong with it. But, when you see it live, something that may look stupid in slo-mo can be very convincing in person. That's what a magician does. And that's what Criss does. I doubt the girls are plants, although confederates are sometimes used in psychic tricks. Criss is smart enough to make that trick happen as you see it performed and he wouldn't need to resort to confederates in a simple illusion like this one. Criss can conjure circles around most magician hacks - you know, the kind of magicians that pull a bunch of flowers out of their magic wand, the kind that bore you to death at the kid's birthday party. That's why he has a hit television show and that's why you know his name.
If something is apparent to you in the way a trick is done after you've slo-mo'ed it, then good for you. But Criss is a straight up guy. He shows you his illusions as they were performed, mistakes and all. If you enjoy it, fine. If you don't, then just go away. No need to call it "fake". CRISS would tell you that himself. If you think he's trying to be anything other than an entertainer, then the trick's on YOU.
- Continued
"there has never been a documented case of real magic begin performed under scientifiucly controlled conditions" and there a reason for that. The mass population the religious parties and YOU arent ready for it. If Cyril or Criss came out with the truth youd never see them again. Theyd be kidnaped by the government or experimented on. "O Yeah All the Magicians are Lining up for That One" Give youre head a shake. The last time they came out of the peverbial closet they where burned at the stake. OH YEAH They want that again! Theres a movie comming out soon that will hopefully explain the existance of real magic, performed by real magicians. I only hope that people like Qed are open mindewd enough. Peace Out
By Queeg 1153598260 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove1496848 - But What if Youre Wrong
What if all along the smoke and mirrors that you were seeing (the same thing I saw when I was a kid) wasnt something to distract you from the trick, but to distract you from the use of Magic (Yeah, Real magic). Not everything you see is an illusion, If thats all you see than what they say is true. Some people see only what they want to see. Ive see too much to think everythings an illusion. Case and point (go to Youtube and type in "Cyril Takayama Ulitimate card through window trick" I know you probably wont watch it. Just in case it disrupt your belief system, you better stay away. I dont want you to have a heart attack. Id feel bad about that.
By Queeg 1153597382 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove1496848 - You're the only one who gets it!!!
My god... every other comment is either "It;s Fake" or "He's not a magician" but you're the only one who actually knows what the definition of magic and a magician actually are. Magicians do not have super powers. By definition they are people who provide the seeming manipulation of the natural world around them in an effort to amaze an audience. Key word 'seeming', meaning obviously for every trick they do there is a trick to it; they don't have majic powers.

In This clip play the clip with nay step foward movie player and look closely when he hit the chair and the chair drops .. in fact if u will c first the timming of his hand and the chair dropped were not perfect and secondly the chair folded it self before falling ... hehehehe

This is just an illusion. Call it camera trickery if you like. He is a performer, so just enjoy the clip. Delete it if you don't.
By sunburner 1140676324 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove658610 - its stupid tho
if your just gonna use actors and rig the tricks rather than do card tricks and trick peoples eyes it shouldn't be considered magic, or an illusion.

So what if his finger slips a little bit? huh? remember the glass is round DOH ! it isn't a cube or somethin', thats why his finger "went into the glass shadow" actually it sliped on one of the sides! Ok this doesen't prove that it's not fake, but this isn't where to look to prove it is... So pay more attention..

By Ultravision 1177002543 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeman i know this isn't real but it would be sweet if it was. but about the tapping on the shoulder idea when that other chick is picking the card. wouldn't the chick who has her eyes closed realize that as soon as criss asked her friends to pick a card he taps her on the shoulder 3 times? i mean maybe they are both in on the trick but if they are not then your theory doesnt hold up i think.

By alamoairforce 1159588665 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou know I am sick of all these tricks today with David Blane and Chris Angel. I don't know why they have to use actors and computer programs to make a trick work, that is when I lost interest in these guys. Why not just use simple tricks by yourself where the audience is real? You don't have to try flying, or walking on top of water, or splitting a girl in half, I always enjoyed card, coin and other object tricks. It is enternatining, you can also study them and try performing them yourself and that's why I think Cyril is the best. Chris Angel has gone TOOOOO far. Most of his tricks, are not magic tricks or illusions, but like all other TV Series, where you have bunch of actors, pre-written dialogue, and is fake. Just like watching Law and Order, or Friends, or Monk, or any other show. Whenever I see his tricks, I say to myself Ok, that's nice, and I move on and never think about it again because everybody knows what he did is impossible and not real and why waste time trying to solve it. I honestly can't believe that he has a show on national TV, which tell's me that there are sooo many morrons who enjoy his illusions. A real magicial/illusionist is one who finds real people and show them tricks with some object, which Chris does sometimes too, but what he did is go from magic to scifi series.
