Do you think that Chris Angel is genuine or an illusionist & why?

Question

What I mean by genuine is that if he can actually levitate, walk on water etc (without it being a normal parlor trick). Or an illusionist, elaborate visual tricks.

In my opinion, I'm open-minded skeptic so I can't really say for sure. Some look "real" while some look like a trick. What do you think & why?

Answer 1

He's an over-rated illusionist. Believe me, EVERYTHING he does can be duplicated by "normal" people. You can find everything on YouTube. One of his big gimmicks is getting people (supposed "innocent bystanders") to PRETEND they're actually amazed, when they know the trick all along.

Everything David Copperfield AND David Blane does is exactly the same kind of smoke and mirrors stuff (literally).

Answer 2

Magic is about illusion. He is committed to deny the fact that his illusions are indeed entertainment, and has therefore crossed the line from magician to nerd.

Answer 3

I LOVE CRISS ANGLE...BY THE WAY YOU SPELLED HIS NAME WRONG BUT HE'S A MIND FREAK  

Answer 4

hes the devil.

Answer 5

illusionist, I dont believe anyone is really magic.

Hes one h**l of a great illusionist tho

:D

Answer 6

He's a fake and a creep.  Come on, his magic tricks are on t.v.

Answer 7

I think hes freaky.. and fake

Answer 8

DUH!!!!! No human being can do that for real. He's an illusionist just like ANY other magicians (that's why they never call themselves magicians, they usually refer themselves as "illusionists"). The tricks are not real.

Answer 9

he's a fake, end of story. I wish he'd justquit and go hide under a rock..

Answer 10

I think most of his stuff is fake. On the show, just so much of it is obviously absurd. Pretty sure they pay a lot of money for those random people to be involved. If he was real they wouldn't put so much glitz and glamor into it; wouldn't be making so much money off of it.

Answer 11

Actually he's a very talented entertainer in the art of parlour tricks, distraction, and showmanship.

He demonstrates how to do some of his tricks on Youtube.

He's just not magic as it turns out.

Answer 12

I think he's a performer. Illusionist for sure, just look at his theme song! that guys all about the money.

Answer 13

i think he is real

i know i know its just idk like when he walks on water and ppl put there hands under there and you see it with the underwater camera and nothings there but water yet he is standing on it like how can you explain that

plus he is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... hot!!!!!

ymmy!

(without the beard)

Answer 14

That's a difficult thing to answer when it comes to Cris Angel.
