approx 2 mins enjoy :)

Woah gross. David Blaine does the same thing but never has blood. f*** I'd like to know how they do it..........

That's Chris Angel, he's on tonight at around 11ish, most entertaining magician I've ever seen. Do yourself a favour and stay up late tonight.

yeck!

fake forearm prosthetic
fake blood coming from fake knife tip
magnet to move a 'blank' down arm and he simply passes it before people see him remove it...wouldn't be hard most of the losers are cringing and staring away from him....


hehehe

I hate this guy, and I hate magicians. Bunch of cons - especially when they do tv shows.

Like the david blane show which just followed him around - it was all just a setup with actors and the thing where he "hovers" was all bs etc.

Dunno why people waste their time with this crap.

Doesnt really look like a prosthetic arm cause he moves his hand a fair bit when hes about to move the coin down his arm...

He is wearing that big leather bracelet thingy, perhaps like an fake outer skin thing over his real skin. If hes actually getting the coin from his mouth the the arm skin thing thats still pretty impressive.

Even if the arm has fake skin over it, if he managed to move the coin like that live infront of me I'd still be impressed, however if its all a setup just for TV and they just moved it there off camera... totally gay.

totally gay?!? you heartless bastard

This on the other hand I thought was pretty good ;)

haha, the guy is a complete wanker, totally full of himself and most of his tricks are just "tv" s***, where he gets a rent-a-crowd in to oooh and aaah as he does his tricks in the edit room.

haha yeah i watched his show once and half the time he was singing in some filmclip just showing off his abs? tosser.

It's not a real forarm for a start (I think).

View the clip until just as he cuts into his arm and pause it where you can see the palm of his hand...
Forarm and palm = totally different colours, not just slightly, but completely different.

Here's what I was talking about:


Seems to have an usual bend just before/at the wrist too :P

ahahaha rubba that was funny s***

hahah rubba that was fukin funny s***..they did that so well.

Criss Angel does play up his "powers" a bit much on Mindfreak, but off screen he is a decent bloke and openly admits it's all bulls***. Anyone listen to his guest appearances on Penn radio? Magicians know that their audiences are usually clever enough to know it's all trick, but with any kind of magic there is an agreement between the magician and audience to fantasise, and all the acting up is part of the illusion really. Criss Angel said that he babysits every piece of edited footage that gets released, and that if he could do any of the things he does on the show he'd be saving babies not doing tv shows.

Rubbas was awesome!

So was the first one, no idea how he got it from his mouth to his arm...

Well it's simple fire, he didn't.

Well it's simple fire, he didn't.

But HOW didnt he? Looked to me like he put it in his mouth, unless he stopped camera and then took it out and put it in his arm...

Welcome to 21st Century magic! no longer does the magician have to rely on such archaic unreliable tools like slight of hand ... instead it's all done clinically in the editing room afterwards.

any magician can make the queen of diamonds... disappear!

but what about... THE WHOLE BOAT?!?!?#&#

Lol @ Bah, just jotting down another notch on your 'miserable old bastard' post. You make me fear ageing.

They're pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness. So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give 'em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It's a mainstay of the magician's toolkit, like how clowns always have a rag soaked in ether.

hahahaha, Rubba wins

rubba-chikin FTW!

But where did the lighter fluid come from.

NO I'm saying it never left his mouth, and it was already in his arm. Criss Angel uses a lot of doubles in his tricks. A second set of coins, a second set of cards, a second set of TWINS, etc...

Also he probably has a hidden communicator on him that assistants can send him signals through, like people who cheat at cards.
