This article is lame. There is no mistake. Of course the only logical explanation is he went behind the wall. The magic is setting it up to look otherwise. Look at each of the pics included: there is no mistake--the gap in the fence does not showing during execution of the stunt and he is not turning the wheel right when the caption says he is. This reminds me of Michael Moore the director's common habit of describing an action on top of a scene which is actually of something different and the watchers believe what is being said rather than what they see. Interesting psychological study in here somewhere about being told vs. viewing, hmm...
It's quite funny how you haters have the balls to come here and criticize Criss Angel for what he's done. And what exactly has he done? Only make you look like even bigger losers at life.The fact of the matter is, human nature has played a huge card here. Jealousy is more apparent when someone hits it big, only because its human nature to hate someone that is better than themselves. Since when is magic real? Almost as real as Bush's WMD. So we can firmly establish that the magic jokes are pretty lame and everyone who's said one after about the 2nd time it was said, should go throw your computer out the window and figure sarcasm can go hand in hand real quick with immaturity. His illusions aren't meant to evoke retarded responses as to why he's a fake. It has nothing to do with that. The point is to show he's mastered an illusion that is meant to entertain. If you were entertained, then he did his job, if you weren't, then you weren't but he still got your time well spent on him.It's simple. A guy who does simple things(Illusionist) turns it into a big thing and makes a living off it. And here you critics talk about true magic tricks and card tricks. But umm, when was the last time you made a paycheck off your tricks or got your own t.v. show? Let me know when you do, and I'll kudos you on it.Now, I'm not a fanatical Criss Angel fan, but I am a man of respect and Criss Angel has earned mine. He set out to do what he wanted and made a living out of it. Something you kiddies obviously haven't done, otherwise you would know true value of respect.
Rooftop Illusion:Remember, the more mystifying the effect - the more simplest the explanation. Technically, he could have been suspended by any sort of cable/wire he wanted. It made no difference since the real magic took place in post production in the editing suite. A simple technique similar to Photoshop is used to take the color of the sky and place that over the line suspending him. That's it. Honestly. As far as spectators go, when he tells you no one is "in on it", they are. By the way...there were no clouds, just blue sky. Convenient huh?
