If he could really levitate, he wouldn't need to fake ANY of them no matter the height.

the video posted above proves beyond any reasonable doubt that he uses digital manipulation, actors, wires and creative editing....but you continue to dismiss it...

I saw Siegfried and Roy do stuff on a stage in Vegas 20+ years ago that were truly mind blowingly spectacular. And it's only gotten better since then.

Paul, I guess it just comes down to faith.
You have faith in Chris Angel like I have faith in Christianity and Jesus. You cannot prove your faith just as I cannot prove mine.
My problem lies with the proof that CA faked his levitation...video proof.
Maybe Telekinesis is possible but it's been proved that Chris Angel faked his on at least one account. How does that not bring into doubt the rest?

There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between doing those things on city sidewalks, parks, and roads (without the advantages of electrical and mechanical equipment, mirrors, trap doors, fiber optics, wires, props, computers, etc.) versus doing it on high-tech and specially designed stages often used by illusionists who are not as successful as Criss Angel.

I'd also like to see Criss Angel healing others. Something which of course, a true prophet would be more interested in than merely performing tricks.

It is you that has been trying to draw parallels between your faith in Chris and my faith in Christianity and Jesus.

Because all it takes is ONE time to be REAL.

Explain how Criss Angel does his high levitations, in front of hundreds of eyewitnesses, without the benefit of camera tricks, props, wires, helicopters, cranes, etc.

A more reasonable argument would be that it only takes proof of one faked levitation to be fake.
You recognize that he faked that one levitation and insist that it doesn't mean he faked the rest. Well I agree....proof of one faked levitation is only proof that the one levitation was faked, but it brings into serious doubt the other levitations. As a matter of fact the only way you could dismiss this is to turn a blind eye have great faith. Though I'm not sure if yours in in Mr. Angel or in that you believe telekinesis is possible and want to latch onto this to prove your faith.

Yeah, that seems like the most logical way to dismiss the trickery.
Clearly he isn't in it to prove Telekinesis and heal people and things like that, that much is certain.....
