He's about as magickal as Marguerite Perrin.
That said, it'd be highly amusing if all of his feats /were/ accompanied by magick. Proof right under our noses, but we dismiss it. XD

I agree with Mitsh, and alot of his tricks are explained perfectly on youtube. His levitation, being hit by a car through a wall, ect ect.

Since Penn Gillette likes him, my vote goes to pure illusion.

If it came to taking "magickal guidance" I'd rather go with David Copperfield.
I think that states my opinion clearly enough (if not a bit rude as well).

As much as I enjoy his stuff, I think it's just illusions and mentalism.
I would like to know how he does that levitation from building to building and walking on water. Those things blow my mind.

He's an entertaining showman. Why care if what he does it magic or not?

yea, he even said in his book that he doesnt believe in telekinesis or magick stuff. it's mentalism and and sleight of hand, except for his stunts, (like escaping from a straight jacket while hanging upside down) those are real. My uncle explained to me on how he walked on water, Indiana Jones did it too but i never watched those movies. He also sometimes has the people he meets do stuff, like when he turned a little girl from 8 to 20, I saw them having the little girl step out and lady step in. I dunno about the levitating from building to building stuff But i wanna do it. confused

However, the trick you might be talking about is the scene where Indy seems to walk on thin air over a bottomless cavern in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Obscurus As much as I enjoy his stuff, I think it's just illusions and mentalism. I would like to know how he does that levitation from building to building and walking on water. Those things blow my mind. The building to building thing is a few diff camera shots put together and use of cranes and wires I believe, I remember seeing the explanation on youtube I may find you the vid a little later, right now im a litlt.e...out of it. The water thing, um, wires? XD I don'tknow, maybe.

Criss Angel is pretty cool to watch, but what he does, as said before, is all illusion and sleight of hand. I don't understand how he does some of his tricks, but I know a few that I can do.
