Thanks for that info, and for the link to the trailer InSpiteOf.
Of course the believers will still say "Criss doesn't use those props, he's the only one who doesn't need them" and you know the rest of it ....

I thought the common goal of all on ATS was to deny ignorance - that includes trying to educate people who still believe pouty goth idiots can fly around and make motocross bikes appear out of their butts. Ignorance is ugly, wherever you find it.

Well to the rejects that actually believe he is something other than an entertainer...give em hell. But to those that enjoy his shows and know that he is only an entertainer and nothing special..ie paranormal god, angel, demon whatver...let them enjoy thier show.

Of course! Don't get me wrong - I love watching shows like that to figure out how he did it. Sometimes it's just cringe-inducingly obvious, but I love a good puzzle.

I think I'm for a "Watch responsibly" sticker on everything he does, though

I enjoy the show, and the majority watching don't really go around checking on how it was done. It's not like these posts are in the news (although FOX did have a go at him). We all have our reasons for joining in on this discussion. My own reasons differ from others on here. I'm debating something else and Criss Angel just happens to play into this for my own reasons, it's what I take away from observing him. I do see your point and it's not misunderstood.

The thing is even if he's exposed, revealed, whatever you want to call it, those who believe he's the paranormal god don't seem to easily let go of the idea he might not be anyways. A point he has made frequently, that he can say he isn't doing real magic and they just carry on saying he's covering it up. Also as FOX pointed out, he goes around debunking others, and shouldn't mind it being done to him and in fact he's said many times he loves the criticism and welcomes it. It's not like he's really hiding it and trying to stop any exposure that ruins what his fans watch. Ask any other magician and they will tell you he's all about exposure. For all we know he may purposely set it up to be "caught". He's fully aware that minutes after his show has aired it will be disected to pieces ....

REALLY ?????

just my humble opinion - but for a buiding 2 building " leviation " like mr angels - a crane SEEMS excessive

a zip wire can be errected with just A frames and sutible anchors - and " droop " compensated for .

In this particular demonstration, the magician started on a building, flew out over a parking lot, moved back and forth and left and right, and then landed on the ground. Not identical to Angel's specific performance, but incorporating elements from many of his levitations. The movement necessitated the use of a crane (and moving the crane between takes).

assuming that he is trying to be clever without bribing them, he could have handed the ring off to an assistant to freeze it with liquid nitrogen and slip it into her drink while the camera is pointed elsewhere and the women aren't looking.
