Chumpchange0001 on Criss Angel LevitationStunts performed by Criss Angel will either make you say "ouch", " no way", "crazy", or perhaps all three. His performances defy death and bring the meaning of "endurance" to the next level. He is an amazingly talented illusionist and escape artist, but also has the mind-over-matter ability to block out pain. I enjoy his show "Supernatural" on A&E because his routines are creative and explosive. He pours his eerie and intelligent demeanor into the show, and I believe his interesting personality is responsible for his rising popularity.Many compare him to David Blaine in a sense that each are known for their levitation. I believe Criss has got more amazing stunts up his sleeve and has the potential to be the most well-known magician in the world. His "Supernatural" DVD is well worth checking out. Criss Angel Mindfreak on TLCCriss Angel attempts to walk down the side of a building. These stunts and illusions should not be attempted by anyone, anytime. Criss Angel says he wants to fight the fear of falling head on. Criss Angel is inspired by both movies and magic. Criss Angel is in Santa Monica, he uses a borrowed quarter and has a woman sign it. Next Angel borrows a soda and takes the quarter. The soda is still sealed but you can hear the quarter inside. Criss Angel pours the soda out and the quarter is still inside. Criss puts the signed quarter on the hand of the woman.The Aladdin gave hotel a bunch of hotel rooms and allowed him to do his stunt. Angel says that the wind factors are huge. Criss is 51 stories (over 500 feet) above the ground. Criss Angel's brother is quite nervous. The authorities arrive, thinking Criss Angel is a jumper. Both the fire department and the police arrive. Criss sees 2 ladies in the parking lot. Angel unlocks the trash and has 2 guys examine the chain. Putting the chain around his neck, Criss Angel has each man take one end. Angel tells the men to pull on 3. Criss Angel manages to escape with some redness on his neck. Angel knocks on some glass and says a solid cannot pass through a solid unless it was really liquid. Criss gets a large piece of paper from the trash. 2 volunteers hold the paper over the glass. In one continuous shot Criss goes inside but puts his hand through the paper, next we see the foot of Criss Angel. Finally, Criss Angel appears through the paper then hits the solid glass. 2 doves come from Criss towards the camera. Angel continues to discuss the building walk. Wanting to warm up, Criss Angel says he wants to start with a smaller building. Criss Angel is shown going down a building with an umbrella. Costa ( Criss' brother ) says that it is a useless feeling watching. A consultant says that he thinks Criss Angel likes the adrenalin rush. Spectators watch Criss Angel and say, "there is no way that's possible." Criss Angel explains that in 1908 Houdini performed the milk can escape. We see Lance Burton of the Monte Carlo. Angel explains that Houdini made things look dangerous but really they were not. The Wine Barrel preperation is shown at the Aladdin. Criss Angel borrows some folks and has them confirm one continuos shot. The barrel is small, Criss Angel barely fits. We see the hands of Angel on the top of the barrel. Angel attempts to hold his breath 2 and a half minutes in the pool for training. Angel explains that Houdini connected to people on an emotional level. It appears that Criss Angel turns a woman's water into beer. Criss' brother JD makes an appearance. Criss Angel explains that Houdini would not do this, it is way too dangerous. The announcer asks, "Will Criss surpass Houdini or die trying?" One the way to the hotel the Criss Angel rv has an issue. Criss entertains the bus passengers with a deck of cards. Criss has an audience member sign a card and shuffle it back in the deck. She confirms with Criss that the card is in the deck. Angel throws the cards on the wind shield and the signed card appears to be outside the bus. Criss Angel tells the bus to stop and goes outside to get the card. The first attempt does not work, Criss Angel explains that the water is too cold. An hour later Criss gets in the barrel (with warm water) and the lid goes on. Criss gives the signal to abort. An hour later Criss tries a third time. The two minute countdown is shown on screen. The top camera shows Criss working on the cuffs. The announcer reminds us that Criss has to hook himself up to the safety line or he'll fall. There are less than 30 seconds and the cuffs are free. The barrel goes and then Criss comes afterwards with the safety line. Lance Burton explains that Criss Angel will go down in the history books as one of the great magicians of the 21st century. Criss Angel Mindfreak - Chicken on A&EHere is what A&E says about the Chicken episode of Mindfreak:"Trying to prove which person is crazier, Criss and his comedy magician good friend, the Amazing Jonathan decide to play the ultimate game of chicken. Their rivalry begins with a small paintball game and an electric shock face off. Criss ups the ante daring Amazing Jonathan to hit him with a car. Criss trains with Mark Chadwick to learn how to deflect the impact of a car. The competition culminates with Criss standing in front of a brick wall as Amazing Jonathan revs his engine. After one false run, Amazing Jonathan barrels into Criss pushing through the brick wall. In this episode, Criss also performs a knife test in a sushi bar that could end his career. " Criss Angel Knife stunts are dangerous! Do not attempt. Criss Angel Mindfreak - Burned Alive on A&EHere is what A&E says about the Burned Alive episode of Mindfreak: "Facing one of our biggest fears, Criss attempts to be burned alive. With the assistance of Hollywood special FX wizard and "burn master" Mark Chadwick, Criss sets up a spectacular stunt where he is set ablaze two different times. First a partial body burn test by the Aladdin Hotel pool in Las Vegas, that lasts over 20 seconds. Then a full 46 sec. body burn with no hands or face protection that shoots 20 ft. flames off Criss at temperatures above 1500 degrees in front of a huge crowd on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas." Criss Angel Fire stunts are dangerous! Do not attempt. Criss Angel Mindfreak - Hellstromism on A&EHere is what A&E says about the Hellstromism episode of Mindfreak:"Based on hellstromism, an art that uses the mind to trigger a spectator's physical reaction, Criss is challenged by Las Vegas' Desert Dodge dealership to find a hidden key belonging to a Dodge Viper using hellstromism. If unable to find the key Criss will have to give the dealership $100,000 for the car, otherwise he will take the car home for free. " A free $100,000 car? Not bad for a days work. Criss Angel Discussing LevitationIn the Oasis episode of the Mindfreak series on A&E Criss Angel discusses levitation but it is different from the David Blaine levitation in that David Blaine levitates himself while Criss Angel's levitation is with a third person. In other words Criss Angel levitates someone else, not himself. Here is the quote directly from Criss, "when I levitate someone in Las Vegas on Freemont Street you've got to be right on or else you're all over the internet." As Criss says that they show a figure in a horizontal posture which is another differnce from the David Blaine levitation.Criss Angel Levitation TalkEverybody wants to do the Criss Angel levitation after seeing Criss perform on tv. I think Criss Angel is a great ellusionist, it is cool to see folks interested in magic after seeing Angel do his levitation. Yes, levitation is a lot different from the card tricks we discuss but it is still an art. Like card tricks, the Criss Angel levitation is effective because the proper techniques are used to warm up the audience. Here is a forum thread that discusses the Criss Angel levitation:Warning: main(http://www.21ace.com/phpBB2/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/my-topic.php?t=2951) [function.main]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!
