Disliking an entertainer is one thing, but wishing DEATH upon seems a little harsh don't ya think?

I watched it, i know everything is fake, but i still can't get my head around that it is. I love the shows though, always watch them.

I'm a fan of the slight of hand stuff because I know that takes real talent to pull off tricks with people 2 feet in front of you...the big "Copperfield" stuff isn't as impressive to me, because the audience is always so distant, and you know it is mirrors and camera angles...it's more about being technically smart and showmanship than the dexterity of slight of hand.

But, yeah....can't wrap my head around this one either. I assume the cameras all going 'dead' at once had something to do with his out.

The best magic is when you know 'how' they do it, but still can't figure how they do it...does that make sense? I know the girl is in the base of the box in a hidden compartment (for example) but the fact that Angel makes the switch in the time it takes for 1 flashbomb to go off (rather than the 4-5 seconds it takes to raise/lower a curtain) is amazing.

Got to meet him on accident in Vegas. Really genuine nice guy. I Still don't really watch the show

I'd watch if there was an actual chance he would be inside when the building was imploded. Watching "magic/illusions" like this is like watching pro wrestling.

Local newscopter caught an alternate angle.

Inserted link. Pre-recorded footage and using another building to escape through.

Bah...that's why the big made-for-TV events don't impress me as much of slight of hand on a street corner. We've got a guy at work who does coin & card tricks really, really well. I could sit and watch him "work" all day.

ive watched some of his shows and this was the first time one of his "illusions" looked truly fake

[Patrick67 1]

I can't stand Chris Angels show mainly because it's a tv-program, I'd probably enjoy it, if I say it in real life, but all the editing and actors etc are just way too corny and obviously fake.

He's definantly talented and I like his slight of hand tricks, but the big productions/events are a joke.

+1

David Blaine blows this guy out of the water... and i dont even find him to be anything really special.
