Criss Angel is the greatest magician to ever live, and by magician I mean video editor.

[@Tony36271]

Teddy Machette even the money you spent on a ticket, going up in smoke?

[@Sebshappytrees]

I doubt he’s even the one in the editor room

[@jiltking5029]

I almost flipped out wen I started reading this comment till I finished it, I was bouta say!!!😂

[@alky1229]

I’ve seen Criss Angel live many times and yes of course on TV he does have editing but live I’m gonna have to say it racks your brain how he does the illusions and tricks. And yes we all know every magician is doing tricks and illusions and there’s trickery and misdirection involved, but it’s pretty amazing how they do it. I’ve seen Penn & Teller live as well and it’s no different, they’re the same as Criss Angel in what they do, so for him to rag on Angel is pretty shitty because he is exactly the same.

[@ysoserious4810]

@@alky1229 yeah but why pretend like its real even tho its not even paying actors to play as a stranger why didnt he use true magic and not editing

[@RobertWalsh-vp5ui]

it's probably so easy for him to do interviews as well. He's done thousands of magic shows where he has to talk and do complex tricks at the same time. So just asking him questions in an interview must be as easy as breathing to him.

He'd have told you though, if you really want to measure talent....you just see who fucks the most kids. Davids in a league of his own. Fortunately he can abra cadabra and vanish most of them away, ya know....because he's actually super humble. More than 30 years he's had his reign as the best. Good to see he's still in your heart too bro!

[@0layer001]

Penn wouldn’t say that.

[@seanfaherty]

I dunno if fooling is everything. Penn &Teller don’t always fool me , 85% of the time they do but as an amateur magician, I feel to enjoy the whole act I think you have to be baffled by at least one small bit. I saw Chris Funk a couple months ago. He did some things I just have no idea about. Absolutely wonderful. If you like magic you’ll love Chris Funk.

[@joenobody5913]

There's actually a shocking number of magicians that also like to fuck underage kids. Shit look at you, all these years later and you still act spellbound....but I guess he just has that special way with most kids. I guess I was lucky that even as a kid it was obvious he'd never be able to do ANY of that bullshit if not on tv. Guy's a fucking creep and is unquestionably fond of raping kids, at this point it's more accurate to say "CHILD RAPIST with allegations he was a magician". Nobody else like him? I guess not, even among child rapists it's uncommon to own an island and have your name repeatedly come up when information in child sex trafficking rings get leaked.....funny how I can only think of two that come to mind. Only one supposed magician though!

I think Copperfield was one of those that called himself an Illusionist and joked that he did so cos he got paid more.

[@Vincent_Beers]

Copperfield actually did do a lot of illusions though. As Penn noted, it just means a certain type of magic performance, there's illusions and there's tricks, Copperfield is actually one of the bigger illusionists. Some of his most famous performances like making the statue of liberty disappear are illusions.

[@pm2007est]

Go to an old school magic store, and watch them try and sell you a 8 $ card trick, cups and balls, a card trick, on the black padded table using their hands, it will blow your mind and you will be completely lost on how the trick was done, and Teller touched on this, it should be the base line in a magic trick, how did they do it?

And Criss Angel claims to show us how tricks that others do are done, except only the Criss Angel versions require certain camera angles and / or a fake crowd. If the people that David Blaine meets in the streets are plants then he is amazing at finding actors that are better than any screen actor ever while Criss Angel finds normal people that are obviously acting surprised at his non-tricks.
