Anyone watch Criss Angel "Mindfreak" on A&E?

[Illini]

This guy is unreal. If anyone else watches it, please explain WTF I just saw tonight.

I watched the first show, wasn't too impressed.

Obviously props are being used, either that or the laws of gravity have changed.

Guy over dramatizes everyting, "I will either make it out or come out in a body bag here.:finger: "

Sure you will Criss, like A & E is gonna show you dye right before our eyes.

I don't know what to think. In the past 2 weeks, I've seen him lie on a bed of nails when an SUV ran over him, and get buried alive and escape. Those outrageous things aren't what fascinates me, because they just seem too over the top. It's the little things that he does. Last week, he turned water into beer at a restaurant. This week, he swallowed needles and thread, and then pulled threaded needles out of his belly button. Then, he was playing frisbee and just floated it in air.

I am impressed. I like the show. The levitation trick is awesome even though the participants are part of his team.

 

[BAGIANT]

I don't think they would let him "dye" his clothes......or DIE for that matter in front of us.

the needles were folded into his stomach and he pulled them out of his bellybutton and he hid the needles he swallowed in his cheek

the water into beer was done with in camera editing.

the SUV didn't really roll over him but the camera angle made it look like it did...if you look more closely you can tell


he is no more special than any of the other magicicans performing at the magic castle in la or in vegas

It's clear that most of his tricks involve props. These people are paid and must sign confidentiality agreements. The only trick that I was impressed with was the levitation trick. It was either an awesome trick or great camera effects. The other ones are clearly set up beforehand with props and camera editing which are not impressive at all.
