Criss Angel: Mindfreak

[D.Rex]

Ive seen the **** he does and some of it really does leave you scratching your head. Ive never seen either him or david in person but Criss's show is really entertaining.

did anyone else see a little card trick commercial he did where he has you think of a card and then makes it appear? me and my brother did it at the same time and we both picked the same card and he ****ing got it. scared the **** outta me and my brother... anyone know how he did that?

 

[Jerry!]

Not sure what commercial that is. But if there is a certain way you lead up to the "reveal" then its probably some type of self working magic trick. Or just an incredible coincidence.

Whatever card you pick...you end up on the same one. I figured out how to do it and use to do it with animals but forgot

 

[AlteredEgo]

no no no, it wasnt one of those that were like, "think of a number, now subtract 2, now multiply it by 0, okay now add 4.... your number is 4" all he did was, he said think of a card, concentrate, and the ****ing card flipped out of the pack in one hand and in to his other hand. no body else saw this? it was during an episode about subliminal messaging and it got me severely paranoid

You seriously fell for that? Its easy. The card you choose is the only one that is focused upon long enough to actually see. That is why everyone picks it.

Angel's tricks are usually really easy to figure out and once you do all of the mystique that makes magic fun is gone.

I watched the episode where the steamroller rolls over him last night. First episode I've watched all season. All I can say is, WTF did Criss Angel do to his hair?

Yeah the deck is rigged, I think he glues that card or some of the others together so that when it gets to that card, its slow enough so you can see it, but all the other cards go too fast.

Plus the Queen of Hearts sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the regular number cards.

no its not like he shows you the cards and tells you to pick one, he says think of one, then pop, there it ****ing is. thats why i cant figure it out, there were absolutely no ****ing frills to it. i wish i could find the clip on youtube cause now i think im just crazy. the only thing i can think it is is that the queen of hearts is a pretty safe assumption when people first think of a card, but then why not the ace of spades or something. my brain hurts.

Wait until you see him age a 12 year old girl's body 8 years, lol.

I like his tricks, but he's a liar when it comes to when he asks if people know him that he'll do the trick with. Many are paid actors.

hell yeah... that freaked me out.


but i think i know how he does it. he tells you to pick a card, then he flips through the deck so fast you can't see any of the cards, exept the one he slows down, just for a fraction of a second, so that's the only one your brain registers.


simple, but cool as hell.

that's the funniest thing i've seen all day!

 

[Mr. Credible]

here's that david blaine card trick we were talking about... it's hard to pick the card out in youtube quality, though.

[Mr. Credible]

wow... how does he do the one where he just guesses your card without you even having to pick one out of a deck?(blaine, not angel)

i need to learn how to do that. it's the ultimate party trick.

Thats true with just about every street magician/magician. There will always be people who are in on the trick.

I already explained that. The deck is rigged. Some cards before and after the Queen of spades card is glued together, making it slow down when it gets to those cards when he shuffles through them. All the other cards go by too fast, but when it gets to those cards it slows down just enough for you to recognize the card.

before mindfreak criss angel did a tv special (like david blaine does once in a while) and he did this thing where he says to touch ur tv and he was going to show u he was a real magacian, and he said "are u ready" then then i got shocked and then he said "see aint i electrfying?"
scariest **** eve.r

 

[SlyGuyTtjn]

I try really hard to think of how Angel does some stunts.. But my god.. He's like a super-powered dude.. C'mon.. Explain how he flies, makes an Elephant disappear/reappear.. My most memorable Angel stunt was when he ate a signed quarter, moved his hand over his arm... Cut his open, and pulled that quarter out with blood on it.. lol

 

[Jerry!]

People are in on the trick, slight of hand, and the magic of TV editing.
