I never saw that, and I doubt it very much. If you were to go and watch a levitation live in person close up, you may rethink your theory. Your talking like you are sure of this rig. Did you see it? It looked like there was air alone under him, and the cameras did do 360s. Where was this hook thing? Did you see any of it, or are you just making a wild guess? You can watch dozens of levitations on tv and rationalize it away.... without any proof to support your guesses. But in person its different. To me anyway.

Watch this, when she is fully off the ground, the camera goes round them, when it goes from behind him to infront of her you can quite claerly if you look close see a wire attached to her waistband(which he attaches when he puts his hands on her).
If you dont see it first time watch it again, it becomes visible when it passes him and some of the background light

for those of you still claiming that criss angel doesn't do levitation more than a few inches off the ground:

this video has several view angles throughout, in no instance could i see light reflecting off of a wire, nor a shadow of a wire, nor a crane.
i'm not saying everything he does is unexplainable, but there are somethings that just aren't easily explainable, like this video.
and the big point i don't think a lot of you are getting? : it's entertainment.
if you don't appreciate the entertainment value why debate it? arguing about it serves no purpose.

here's another one i would like some explanation for:
www.youtube.com...
and like i said, i'm not claiming everything he does is real. in fact he himself says somethings are real some are just illusion, and he wants the viewers to figure out for themselves which is which.
however things like this video are at best hard to rationalise as "wires" or "trick photography"
just food for thought

Originally posted by chris01621I havent seen him do this extent of levitaion infront of general public or in a public place, it always seems to be in proffesional environments.
And I agree with the guy above as to how the half woman trick is done, she has a deformity.

Ok let me ask you this, when you saw copperfield get cut in half did he go crawling round the stage on his waist like the woman does across the field or is he on a table stuck in position????
I posted a video in which you can clearly see wires attached to a woman that he is levitating, so I'm sure he is going to be on wires when he levitates himself.You can see it when the camara goes from behind him to infront of her.
more when he is standing directly inline with the wire.

I'm only trying to make it clear for the people who think these people are real sorcerers (because thats what they would be) that they are not anfd it is just very good ILLUSIONS.
I'm assuming you are a grown man and I dont think (even though your eyes say different at the time you see these tricks) that you beleive its actually happening for REAL!!!
I have seen on t.v when copperfield flys into that glass box and it is a pretty amazing trick, I cant tell you how he does it but there is some trickery going on there.

Because some of us have seen such feats performed live, up close, in person, and know that whatever is occuring, it is definitely not editting in those cases. Hence, why would it need to be editting just because you or I am not present to confirm it? I can assure you, when you see levitation live, there is no editting, and no evidence of cables whatsoever. Beyond that, I have no idea what is being done.

ok , you went to see a carefully coerographed show , preformed on a custom built stage / set - where the preformer and his huge staff can micro manage the environment to ensure that you only see what they want you to .
the killer challenge is , can an of these people preform thier " magic " at a location chosen by a third party , where they have no oportunity to set up props or control the environment in any way ???
ask yourself -- why is that .
