Criss Angel and David Blaine are showman, not demons
But they are also more than just illusionists. Which is why they became millionaires while veteran magicians many years older never had the opportunity to have their own television show. It takes more than sleight of hand, misdirection, and gadgetry to pull that off. It takes a genuine Gift of Telekinesis.

ALL of David Blaine's magic tricks are just that, Magic tricks and old ones at that. You can go to any run of the mill magic shop and find props and books that explain everything he does. I have been doing magic for a long time and can preform 90% of what he does on his street magic show.

I love a guy with confidence.

Now please provide for us a video of you levitating between two buildings in broad daylight (like Criss Angel), with a crowd of people below you who are not paid in any way to participate.

Better yet, make an ANNOUNCEMENT to ATS/BTS of your intention to do that. I am sure that Skeptic Overlord, Springer, and all the Mods will want to be there. This way you can prove to all of us beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are as good or better than David Blaine and Criss Angel

I will especially want to be there because I have the ability to psychically detect telekinetic energies at work through and around someone.

Houdini on his deathbed told the doctor he envied him.
When the doctor asked why and told Houdini that he was the greatest magician ever. Houdini told him he envied him because what the doctor does is real and what he does is trick people and he felt his life was one big lie.

That's because Harry Houdini did not have a Gift of Telekinesis. He was only an illusionist and escape artist who was in good shape and who could dislocate his back to help him quickly get out of traps.

Harry made a pact with his wife that if there was life after death he would contact her in some way. Well, that didn't pan out because he did not have the support on the Other Side to make it work - and he wasn't highly evolved.

In contrast, there have been people who told their significant other that after they died, they would give them a sign that there was an Afterlife.

For example, there is the well-known story about the successful historical novelist by the name of Taylor Caldwell. She did the same thing that Harry Houdini did in that she made a pact that she would try to provide a sign that there was life after death.

In their yard there was an old, rotting, dead tree. Shortly after she died the tree not only came back to life but also went into full bloom FOR ONE DAY. Then it never showed any sign of life again.

Unless you are an Ascended Master - and there aren't any up there right now - then you have no other choice but to get the assistance of thousands or at least hundreds of people on the Other Side to combine their energies in order to produce or manifest a substantial sign to people here, on This Side, that there is life after death.

Here's to you proving your point
