MINDFREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKK!

[NortonFan]

When I used to watch his show I would try and figure it out. Now I don't even try to guess. IE: When I seen the walking on water trick on T.V. I thought there was some floatation thing in his shoes, then he kicked them off.

This guy's tv show is awesome. Anyone have any clue how he does this?

[kidpkrJR]

with wires and people who are paid to tell them what they "saw"

It was kinda like when David Blaine did his levitation, there is actual an illusion you can create to make it seem like your floating. He did that to people and they taped their reactions, later they hooked him up with wires and really made him float up high. Then they later piece it together with the reactions from the real illusion to him being lifted up with the wires.

Anyone else find it strange how each step he took made him left his legs up like a chicken or something? Long sheet of clear glass across pool = easy to walk on. It's also obvious that all those people are paid to say something, it's obvious in the way they tell the story that they're being fake.

Criss Angel is a douchebag.

The Balducci method is pretty easy to do and fun to impress friends with, but the one he did here obviously had to be something done with props, because he coudln't get that high on tippy toes.

I've seen clips on the net where Angel actually shows how to do some of his tricks like the levitation one, some one should search for them. His levitation is different then Blaines.

[Love4hockey]

He's walking like he's walking on a tight rope

[ol'number7]

Here's one where he shows the levitate trick

I'm still intrigued by the walking on water bit though

[eYank]

it kind of looks like he is being held up by some kind of wire on the water one
just the way he is kind of walking/floating

I thought about that too... But it's open sky above him.

as opposed to closed sky?

[dEv~]

I'd say it's just a clear platform.

[Suited_Up]

I'd say it's just a clear platform.

What about people swimming under him?

[dEv~]

What about people swimming under him?

not a solid block, but just a clear underwater bridge. So they could swim under.

I don't know if I saw them crossing through the space that the platform would be taking up though.






EDIT - right after the part where he takes off his shoe is the only time where someone might have crossed through, but there could also be a space in the platform.

[Royal_Tour]

Its 100% not a underwater bridge or clear bridge,

look at 23 - 30 seconds in, notice his shoe sinks well into the water, and then the girl under him blows a bubble that pops right infront of him

Its either wires, or he's clearly jesus.. 1 or the other.

The cameraman was also circling around him.

[Royal_Tour]

its wires

they never show a shot from a far, the side view doesnt angle up, and the only up shot from the water is very blurred and zoomed into his footprints.

the other camera from inside the pool is also blurred from water splashes

[dEv~]

The only thing you can 100% sure about is that it's not real.
