Wait, I don't understand. Are you saying he CAN'T FLY? Holy crap!

Very nice analysis and breakdown.

I think it's more the case that there are obvious post camera effects being added, requiring a paid audience to stand about and marvel at him. This would've been the same as with his water walking trick, so it begs the question: Are we watching magic here? Or some sort of staged triumph of special effects?

Magic we all know is just clever misdirection and deceptions, ofcourse we all know it's not really happening. But you'd like to think that it at least has some mystery... and that it's the sole work of the performer.

It was a really good break-down, but reading that slow-ass text was painful.

Yeah, it's all a trick. Goodie for him, he figured it out. Magic doesn't exist. But his debunking isn't foolproof either. First, the sun/no sun thing. I've seen just such magic happen myself, when the Rain Gods bring clouds to make the sun disappear then reappear. MAGIC! And the whole 10 degree rotation thing...that's assuming a stationary camera, not a camera man standing on the ground, walking and turning the camera to stay focused on the man hanging from a wire.

Oh, and his name is Criss Angel, not Chris.

If anyone thinks this circus actor actually levitated should have themselves re-calibrated. These shows are so stupid you should be ashamed for watching them.
