Chris Angel ?

[KWIKR 1]

I'm watch TV with my son , and were watching a guy (Chris Angel) actually walking "upright" down the side of a building in Las Vegas . with people on the ground witnessing it . How the hell does he do something like that ? there does not seem to be any type of wires or mechanical support from the way he is moving . I've seen David Copperfield live and up close , IMO this guy blows him out of the water !!!!!!!!

Yeah he's pretty good. Probably better than David Blaine.

He's on A&E Wed's 10 p.m. EST.

Yeah , but the question is how does he do it or how does he make himself look like he's doing it ??? . I'm a Pipefitter by trade and have rigged a lot of stuff/equipment and know the mechanics of rigging very well . and for the life of me I can not figure out how he could rig himself off a side off a building like that with no seen mechanical support .

How the hell does he do something like that ?

practice, practice, practice! :biggrin:

Yeah, I've seen him too on tv, If I seen him in person do that stuff I wouldnt know what to say, pretty neat though if all that stuff on TV is actually real.

He sells some of his secrets here: http://www.crissangel.com/indexFlash.html
Click on merchandise. I cant stand to watch him or any other magician for that matter. They are so predictable. It would be neat to something fail. For example, it would be a great show if he couldn't escape from the tank of water or if he fell while walking up the side of a building. Any one remember those shows on FOX in where the magician shows how those tricks are done? Its all slight of hand.

Chris is insane, he goes a bit further than Blaine does with the body levitation stuff.

Get those two together on the street and I would pay to go fly there and see that!!

its all fake and trick photography,staged,people/audiance is involved(in most stunts)...its so cheezy on the crazy ones and easy to see how fake it is...the one i saw that was so bad was where next to the pool he put a black sheet in front of a lady and then covered her then removed the sheet and she was gone...wow ..it was so cheezy you could see the camera shut off and turned on because it jumped to a different angle o so slightly,but obvious when played back,in the same frame?some stunts are real,like catching fire or useing fast hands,but the walking threw windows and down buildings is for the dreamers...look at the dumb token trick,he puts 4 tokens in one hand,acts like he shifted them to the other hand,even shows them to you once he slid them out of his sleeve obviously..then he puts his hand out,make some voodoo noise and goofy looks,slides them back into the sleeve,then opens his other hand and shows the original coins that never left ......good show for kids,i guess..or if your drunk and want some laughs,remember its admitted to be tricks and illutions..remember blains most crazy tricks were shown to the public and i have done them to my sons friends and they think im the man..lol....lets do this one ready...take ashes out of a ash tray with the tip of your index finger,dont show anyone its their,find someone and tell them to hold their hands strait out,palms down..when they do, grab their hands and tell them no,spread them out,but when you grabbed the hands you put that ash mark in the center of their hand with your ashy index finger.. then tell them to now close their palms into a fist(they still dont know you put a ash mark their,then take a old cigarate and act like your putting it out on your hand and do some weird eye looks and ask them do they feel it,they say no,say thats because i feel it but you get the mark,then tell them to open their hands and boom you too are the man..so many tricks,just remember no-one walks down walls or threw windows without being arrested by the government for testing ..

o ya i can levitate too,if your interested id have to show you on that one,its all angles,thats why he says stand here incase i fall??he never does fall,so why ask?its so he can lift one foot off the ground and lift just the rear of the other,it looks real and people freak and they show reactions(my kids tell everone i can float,i cant even do that in water on my back) then most go to look lower and he says he is all drained out or they look low and he drops,but then after the showing they set up a different showing alone where he goes higher and obviously off the ground,but at no time will you see completely off the ground and people watching in the same picture...wont happen...

quick,think of a number 1-50,no even numbers,dont use 2 of the same numbers..do a poll 80%of the time the answer is.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................













37...i dont know why mabe because with no evens that leaves only 10s and 30s,then with not the same numbers only leaves 13,15,17,19,31,35,37,39..for some reasone when you say 1-50 not many grab a number in the 10s,for some reasone your mind relates 35 with a even o so quickly so in a rush they say 37,they forgot 31 and 39 is too far away....he only shows the reations of the ones he tricked,i like to see his bloopers...its all good tho....
