I still have no idea how that lady disappeared. I was thinking trap door through the box and ground, but I still don't know.

Have y'all heard about his challenge to David Blaine? He said that he could reproduce any of Blaine's tricks, and that if Blaine could do something Criss couldn't match, he would retire on the spot. I wonder if Blaine heard about this one; he could become an icon if he put Angel out of business.
Angel also won this magician's award 3 times. I can see why; dude has some insane illusions.

I dont know how he did it but ockam's razor would lead me to believe the witnesses were in on it and some camera tricks were used.

Thats how its often down on stage and its shocking how people miss things like that when their attention is directed somwhere eles. I would have been harder to do in a setting of a 360 degree crowd but not impossible.

David Blaine and Criss Angel use what I like to call TV magic. It is all about misdirection...
If anyone thinks these guys actually use real magic then so be it.

That is a fine conclusion for those of you who have not been there in person for it. I have, and TV magic is no longer a possible explanation for me. In each of the three shows I went to, David Copperfield performed 'illusions' such as being cut in half, teletransportation of himself on a motorbike, and flying around with a woman in his arms, among many other 'tricks'. Holographs, hypnosis, smoke and mirrors, etc, are all likely tools used to fool people into believing they see something that didn't happen. In my view, none of those things can achieve what I have seen. I don't know how those guys fly, but I've seen it done in person... So, like you say, believe what you will.

i don't know...
do you think that the various amount of people surrounding the area would have noticed???
i highly doubt that the girl would have blended in so easily, but that's just me...
there was, what, eight people moving the walls???
people would probably have noticed if there was an extra person...
i think i taped the show (which is a smart move for discussions in this thread) and i will take another look at it...
