 |  Chriss Angel ???
Anybody ever see his shows? I appreciate real magic, but I am beginning to think he's paying off these small crowds that always seem to be no more than 30 when he does his "public" acts. I am entertained by his illusions, but are they really only illusions to those of us who cant see the details on TV? Whats your opinion?

I don't know but the guy's a freak. I agree some of his acts could be set-up. But man, the one where the car smashes him against the brick wall, and the one where he walks up the walls? WTF!

I like the one where he is in a box and goes into a wood chipper. That's wild.

My buddy has seen him in person levitate 6 feet off the ground. I think the guy is really talented. I mean I don't believe in "magic" per say... but dude is 1 of two things... 1) SUPER skilled illusionist (with one HECK of a support crew) 2) SATAN You decide!  PS: Tonight was off the hook. walking on water, split that chick in half... cut him self in half? CRAZY illusions.. wish I was there! And I'm not stupid.. I know the TV show probably is edited as hell but still entertaining.

dude.. illusionist... we all know its visual tricks.. but its how good they can do them. You have to be a dullard to think cuz can do that stuff for real, but I can appreciate anyone who is good at thier craft. I mean look at Beavis... I still think he's the DEVIL, same with ANIMAL, I mean NO one and I mean NO one should be able to fly like that!!!

dude on one show he ate a quarter then it traveled down his arm (you could see it under the skin) then he slit his wrist and dug it out of his arm. Thier were like 5 people going ohh my god. Illusions are great but ANYBODY can do it with a camera and then pay some poeple to act like they saw the whole thing.

There is a reason he has his own show and a national audience. It is because he is talented. Of course his stuff has to do with illusions, that is what magic is, illusions. Very entertaining to watch, would love to see it in person.
