  1. MIND FREAK!

    he does some crazy stuff
     
  2. I like him although he's a fraud.
     
  3. QFT.

    :smoking:
     
  4. Guy is a lameass. It's not that i dislike magic or whatever the hell he's doing. I just hate him as a person.
     
  5. Same, I have high regard for magic and illusions. The guys is just an asshat.

    Something about me doesn't like him. He's the kind of guy I'd tell to fuck off instead of smoke with.
     

  6. I don't like, because he is a fraud. My buddy thinks he's real and everything he does is real...

    It's so obvious he's fake. I watched his show once and could pick out just about everything he was doing that was fake.


    Besides the walk off the building one, I couldn't get that one. Probably just walking on thick glass or something.
     
  7. anybody care to explain how he put a cell phoen in a glass bottle? i may be an idiot but if someone could explain that to me it would be great
     
  8. see how when he leans back his trench coat touches the ground in the middle of his back?

    theres a bar that when he leans back, hangs down, but is covered by his coat. ckinda hard to explain...

    and notice how the camera never shows the inside of hhis coat when hes laying down?




    :hello::hello::hello::hello::hello::hello::hello:
     
  9. Remember that once episode when he puts his entire arm through that black guy?

    Now fast forward to the episode where the walks on water. The same black guy is right in the pool next to him as he is walking on the water. I'll try to find clips of it on youtube.
     

  10. I dont know man, they have several angles where you could see sunlight between the bottom of his coat and the ground when he wasnt holding anyone. My theory is that he has some sort of stake or blade in the ground behind his right foot and under the pants so as to stablize his right foot on the ground. They then had metal supports running up the back of his calf then up his thigh and possibly his back, but there would be hinge at the calf/thigh supports that would stop at a 90 degree angle so there would be no pressure on his leg once the hinge stopped. Chris is a pretty cut up too, his stomach muscles could hold him like that for awhile with the leg support.
     
  11. arent all magicians frauds?

    isnt that the point of magic?

    I like what he does I think it's cool and I have never really seen him say something to make me think otherwse
     
  12. Obviously he's fake. Everything about magic is fake everyone knows that. But the point of magic is to make people think how the trick was done not decide if it was real or fake.
     
  13. SPOILER:
    the way he does the illusion of walking up a building or any sort of levitation is done through the use of kevlar threads. they can be very thin (about the width of a human hair) and are EXTREMELY strong and aren't visible from a distance.

    he has a crane or something overhead. the wires connect from him to the crane. the video is shot in such a way that the crane is not visible.
    and yes, the many of the "random" people are indeed plants.
