I could not figure out how he could levitate from building to bulding or levitate down from top of Luxor hotel floor to lobby? Even walk on the man made lake?

surely is a mindfreak!

this guy is terrible, almost as terrible as david blaine, but hes getting there

I hear he uses fishing line to levetate. I kind of met him once. He walked by me at the Luxor and I put out my hand to get a pound. He grabbed it very gently. It was kind of weird. And he's like 5'2". So small..

I like the one at the hockey rink where he has a girl write her name on a card and then puts it into the ice. However, my first time watching it I noticed the mess-up. If you look closely to how close her last name is written to the side of the card and then look at the card that he pulls out of the ice, you know its 2 totally different cards.

Douchebag he may be, but he's as good if not better than Houdini (at least they try and make him out to be on tv.) Muaha

No, David Copperfield is the Nth-ultimate douchebag, and Criss is just reworking all his old TV-only trick repertoire with the "goth" makeover.

(Even the specific Copperfield ones that the Fox network Masked-Magician special busted years ago...For those who get the Penn & Teller jokes.)

quexos · 09-18-2008, 11:03 PM

Lol I was going to ask if this guy was some kind of David Copperfield cause I never heard of him.
In the end they are illusionists and if they don't claim otherwise then it's just entertainment. Now if they claim to have actual powers then we have to look on the scam side.

jkwest · 09-18-2008, 11:20 PM

at least Copperfield has some class...

this douche is like a David Blaine/Fred Durst love child...I can't stand his look or his tricks...I would kick his teeth in on site.

One of the things P&T parodied (especially in their famous Copperfield parody...You know, the one where they're hanging upside down?*) is the fact that you don't hear TV magicians say "There will be no camera tricks anymore"--
Instead you hear, "There are no cuts or edits", or "Everything you see is done LIVE!"...

Criss, apparently, went the union rules one better:
Now, he doesn't even have to call it "Magic" anymore, lest the professional Guilds complain about made-for-TV tricks or arranged setups anymore...
As long as it's his own madeup word for what he's doing, they can't take away his membership card.

(* - Tried to find the classic "Gravity boots" SNL sketch on YouTube, but all I could find were clips of Penn Jillette Personally Taking On Every Political Activist, Trend and Belief Cause In Our Deluded Society...Darn, we lost another one to the Looney bucket.

What I want to know are where are these people that are appearing out of no where? Am I just gonna appear in Vegas one day sitting in a chair behind Criss Angel? And hell if I was, I wouldnt keep quiet about it

And if he can turn toy cars into real cars, why the hell isnt he doing it for people that actually need cars?

Some of the stuff is believable, but he crosses the line
