 Chris Angel What do you guys think of him? I know he is a great illusionist and does some cool stunts, but some of the stuff he does is just tripped out. If it was that easy more people would do it. Sometimes I think this guy might be the devil.

Re: Chris Angel Criss Angel just really uses his brain and plans everything quite well for the best execution of his illusions. If you would really like to know how he does what he does, you can view Criss Angel secrets revealed on youtube. Just be sure to click on the results that say secrets revealed in the title or description.  And if he were the devil, I'd have to say, he's a very cute devil! lol

Re: Chris Angel I have only seen little snippets of his show. I am not one for those huge illusions, but prefer the slight of hand tricks you see with stage magicians.
Chris Angel is talented, but I always wonder how much of what is seen is just a camera angle trick.

Re: Chris Angel IVE NOT SEEN THIS TRICK.. BUT I WOULDNT NECESSARILY ASSUME THE NAILS ARE FAKE. ITS ALL ABOUT WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION. NOW IN THE WHOLE BED OF NAILS TRICK. THE MOST DANGEROUS PART IS GETTING ON THE BED OF NAILS AND GETTING OFF... LET ME EXPLAIN....
NOW IMAGINE THAT YOU STEP ON ONE INDIVIDUAL NAIL..IT GOES THROUGH YOUR FOOT. THAT IS BECUASE THE WEIGHT OF YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS SPREAD OVER ONE NAIL. NOT GOOD. SAY THAT I WEIGH 215LBS AND PUT THAT ON ONE NAIL...EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME.... IMPALED. NOW IMAGINE DISTRIBUTING THAT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT OVER 215 NAILS... THAT IS JUST 1 POUND PER NAIL.. DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF NAILS.. AND ITS ONLY 1/2 POUND PER NAIL.
NOW THE REASON THE MOST DANGEROUS PART IS GETTING ON AND OFF IS BECAUSE THE WEIGHT IS BEING DISTRIBUTED ON MUCH FEWER NAILS.. HENCE WHY CRIS WAS LIFTED ON AND OFF THE BED OF NAILS.
IN THIS TRICK CHRIS ANGEL IS SPREADING THE WEIGHT OF HIS BODY AND WHATEVER WEIGHT WAS USED IN THE HUMMER OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF NAILS... MIND YOU THIS WAS CALCULATED WAY AHEAD OF TIME. THE BOARD THAT HE USED... THAT WAS USED TO DISPLACE THE WEIGHT OF THE HUMMER MORE EVENLY OVER HIS BODY SO IT WASNT CENTERED JUST ONTHE AREA COVERED BY THE TIRE.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.. NOT SO MAGICAL EH

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.. NOT SO MAGICAL EH No. Not so much magical, as it is illusion (per scientific explanation). But, to do it with style, that's magic. Many people know that the bed of nails tricks are nothing more than proper weight distribution, yet it amazes others. It's all about entertainment. I love that Criss Angel does his illusions and pulls people into it. Now, that's showmanship!
