Chris Angel does some amazing things and recently I found out how he does his most famous trick, levitation. He has special made pants that hold his shoe in one of the legs in place so he can take his foot out and from the back it still looks like his foot is in the shoe. The same leg also has a slit in the front of it so he can lift his leg out of it and stand on a ledge or chair or the other objects that he levitates up onto. Then all he has to do is push himself up with one leg. That is why for most of the levitation stunts he does he goes into a corner. Although there are still some things I have still not figured out how he does.

You should probably add at the beginning that he is a magician- becuase I dont really read about it and I am a dork who didnt know who he was. Secondly, why are you so facinated with finding out how he does it, and thirdly where did you find this information. Perhaps you should include that information in your blog so that other people who want to know can read about it as well.

The reason you don't understand why I want to know so much is because you have never seen the show Chris Angel Mindfreak. He does so pretty amazing things and makes them look incredibly real.
I've seen him levitate in the middle of the road with a full circle of people around him and come completely off the floor.
The only logical way I can understand what he does is to settle that everyone is in on it. - It's simply staged for television.
Yes this way does not explain those kinds of levitation but it does for all the times he goes into corners with his back to the camera and levitates.
Knowing how he does it takes the fun out of it. The mystery is what keeps people entertained.
Trying to figure out how it is done is the fun for me.
I always wondered how he levitated other people, or how he does the trick where they draw something on a paper and he guesses it. Well not quite that part of the trick but the part where he sucks it in his mouth and it goes on his tongue.
Ya me too.
Several months ago, before I had ever heard of Criss Angel, I came across a video of him putting a ring through a glass counter-top at a jewelry store. I watched it over and over and over to try and figure out how he did it. For awhile, I actually thought he had the power of "mind over matter" , that there just wasn't any other way to get the ring through the glass.

Then I saw numerous other videos of incredible tricks that simply aren't HUMANLY possible.
Months later the Bible (The Truth) came to my attention. God says all thoughout the Bible that he hates witchcraft, those who call upon spirits and fortune tellers, Idoltry, and practitioners of the magic arts. Those that "go whoring after them" will not recieve the Kingdom of God, but be destroyed, Leviticus 19:31, Leviticus 20:6&27. These things are "an abomination to" and "prostitution against" God. God clearly warns us to stay away from these things. A few scriptural examples of magicians and sorcerers: Exodus 7:11-12, Exodus 9:11, Deuteronomy 18: 10-12, Acts 8: 9-11, Acts 13: 7-10, Leviticus 20: 6/ 27, Isaiah 8: 19,
Think about this. Is Criss Angel performing real feats of Satanic magic right in front of us and calling them tricks, illusions? Maybe that's why a "good" magician never tells his secrets. He's doing things that don't seem to have any other explanation, like making elephants dissapear, levitation, and much more. I know that the ring I mentioned earlier really went through the glass, you can see it drop to the shelf from the bottom of the glass. Was the camera hallucinating? And the reaction of the girl behind the counter is so real.
Even his name or stage name, whatever it may be, spits in the face of God. "Angel" and his first name is close to that of you know who and is associated with cross, the expression criss cross. People's souls may well be "defiled" (Leviticus 19:31) by seeing him.
It may even be possible (but only God and Satan know) that he is "that man of sin" , "Even him, who's coming is after the working of Satan, with all the power, signs, and lying wonders." mentioned in II Thessalonians 2. I don't claim to be a Saint myself, but the more I find out about the Bible, the more Criss Angel and countless others scare me.
