Criss Angel, Clearwater Beach Options

[Athorn]

I not a super huge fan of his show but i live 5 minutes from the beach were it happend that me and some friends decided to go. There ended up bieng like 15,000 people there it was crazy! We got there and about 4:oo est to hang and camp out. We got to see te helicopter rehersing and them filming some clips. I dont know about you guys but i was very dissapointed. He started out on the 6th of a 8 story building. He was handcuffed to the rail then had to go inside pic some looks head to the roof and grab onto a ladder from a hellicopter. When he had 30 seconds left the hellicopter had to leave and he was "stuck" inside. Well after the building impolded he magicly walked out just bieng all dusty with no scratches. Me and my friends waited around anouther half an hour after and we got to meet him. He looked like he just took a shower he wasnt dusty or anything. Well im sure just like you guys i think it was pre recoreded and all he did was pick the hand cuffs and get through the first door becuase thats all you can see. It would have been cool to see him get on the helicopter. And insted of everyone on the beach cheering and yelling alot of people were yelling bullsh!t. lol. Just sharing my experiance today. (sorry if spelling/grammer is bad im pretty tired).

yeah i think his stuff is all fake well of course its fake but not like the majic we know but fake majic he aint no copperfeild

[Athorn]

Yeah..thats true. I recorded it and just watched it. He is a really bad actor. When the camera crew goes to look for him in the reckage he like lunges out of the grass and yells. Give me a break. He is a cool guy and all but it would have been cooler if he just went up on the helicopter.

yeah its cool to meet famouse people though and see how they really are when i was stationed at fort benning i help put up the stage for bo bice and here comes the mummies, bo can sing the hell out of free bird and the mummies are crazy cool funkish music,

Totally fake and pre-recorded. At first I felt like an idiot because I was like OMGZ, HE DIED! Then after watching it again.. I was like wtf. Some of the shots were done during the day. You can see the light through the windows.

I don't really like Criss Angel, but I think it's hilarious when he powers up before a stunt.

I like David Blane more..

It did look like daylight because there were a ton f spotlights on the building.

Just found this video form a local tv station. http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/myfox/pages/E...mp;pageId=7.1.1

mind freak is right hes a freak and hes out of his mind and so are the people who believe that was real

[lagos]

Well, the whole thing IS supposed to be an illusion, and not real.
The only problem I have is when they use photography tricks to make the illusion work. Showing you a prerecorded sequence, instead of trying to make the illusion work in a more creative, practical way is lame.

At least the stuff David Blane does, is actually him doing it.

[GriffGirl]

I agree completely with lagos on that one... David Blane is way cooler anyway I think. Although I will add that I think Cris Angel is kinda hot, I'd do him like once.

i watched this the other night. it was so dumb and predictable.

when it flashed to that like 9 separate views from the camera's i was like ''watch them all go out before the building explodes then he'll appear somewhere after it falls down''

and OMGGGGGG what do ya know? that happened. i dont know why everyone was cheering, he failed his stunt he didn't escape lol. i like some of his stuff but i would like to see his ''stunts'' without an entourage of people around because i think his crew is in on EVERYTHING.

Whats funny is that nobody on the beach was cherring. It was just the "audiance:they had by the cameras. It was pretty funny hearing 15,000 people chant bullsh!t at the same time.

[punkuup5150]

it would have been better if he ran up to grab one of the ladder hooks and then the building came down with him hanging on to it and the copter flying away kinda disapointing

This douche gives Goth people a bad public image [Him and his tired cliche "Goth" look ]. And as a modern illusionist he's still a total fail.
