Nor the tooth fairy...


Is this actually news to anyone?

Do people believe that Angel or Blaine or anyone else is really "Magical" ?

Sadly, they do. I don't like to name names usually, but Paul_Richard has been a pretty vocal supporter of the 'Criss Angel has paranormal abilities' crowd. Check out some of the older CA threads to see why this thread is important.

No, but I do expect this his to be a real illusionist and not some guy that just fully paid participants and camera work.

He's good at card tricks though!
(But even then most of his participants in those mind reading card tricks are paid. Darn)


Real illusionist do it with real audiences.

that is the slickest move i've ever seen.
FAKE LEGS??!
omg. wow. thats dirty/

About the teleportation video, I don't know, but here's my theory. This may have been said before, but, I think the people around him are paid. Not only to hold down the can, but to keep the unknowing people back some distance and allow his escape.

My wife had something to add to this. What if... If... he has a twin. Sure would make life easier for a magician.

And i suppose that all of those scores of people who were ' paid' also remain silent forever? You must assume some pretty heavy things, and with NO proof, you are really looking sad.

You must assume that the people there, all of them, were somehow convinced to not only participate in a hoax, but remain silent about it forever. Not opne person has ever come forward with a clqaim of a hoax and paid silence. Not one.

Also, you must assume that with money can stage mass hoaxes and make a fortune doing it...right? So why is Criss the ONLY person living who does it? You must assume that no one else with mney wants to make more by upping Criss...after all, someone with money could pay off, say..a thosand people, right? but keeping them silent forever....hmmm..always problems with PROVING Criss a hoaxter.

Now, you must assume that criss has exact doubles that show up and pretend to be him....but no one has ever shown any proof that this is true...no pics of the other criss off duty..nothing.

Then, you must assume that in all the OTHER teleportations he also had paid mass numbers of silent and loyal drones who remain quiet always and never tell anyone.

I hope you know how to caluculate odds, because once you assume the 3rd or 4th item you are off the charts, odds wise. there is no way that you can wiggle out of the FACT that ALL of the supposed evidence that Criss is just a film manipulator and someone who can somehow pay people for acting amazed and staying silent forever about their nefarious roles in fooling the people.

I amazes ME at how so many people can take NO evidence and ASSUME so much from it.

Where are the people who claim to be paid by criss for silence? not one? Come on...out of thousands of people paid off over all these years SURELY to god ONE person would either not care about a promise or would do so for other reasons...it is not possible that so many people would keep such a compact...a secret...forever. it staggers the mind to think that some of you would accept odds like that.

No matter what Criss does or how he does it, there is NO HARD evidence that Criss pays people off or uses film manipulation to fool the viewer. None. None has been shown here, and none has been shown in the hundreds of pages of the criss Angel thread..just a stalemate between those who insist that criss is somehow fooling them in ways they cannot expose, or those who believe that he has abilities that transcend the ' normal'.

Either way you believe, insist on EVIDENCE before you assume anything....assuming is a sure way to look foolish when the rubber meets the road.
