Criss Angel Mindfreak: The Wizard of AXN

I'm pretty sure most of us is familiar with Criss Angel, and with good reasons.He is an American illusionist,magician, escapologist and stunt performer. Note that I wrote illusionist first, cause that's what Criss likes to think of himself. His show, Criss Angel Mindfreak, is broad casted on AXN on Wednesdays, at 16:30 GMT. Believe me, his illusions are mindblowing, and apparently impossible! But that's what Criss is best at;making the impossible seem normal! Allow me to give an example. Criss Angel has set himself the target of walking across Lake Mead,the largest lake in US. And he does succeed.He walks on water for about 200 yards.Now, remember people, its a lake.So it rules put any theories of plexiglass pillars.Moreover, Criss, at the end of his walk, start to sink under the water, eventually disappearing completely! The illusion is simply awesome, and many critics have failed to provide an explanation for this! One explanation says " He had completed construction of Water Walking Shoes 2.0. These shoes have bottoms lined with special strips of metal that, when activated by the electricity in a series of batteries strapped around the magician's torso but hidden by his shirt or jacket, energizes any molecules of water they contact, causing them to draw together, effectively increasing the water's surface tension by a factor of more than a million". Now the problem with this is that, two girls( maybe hired actors) actually touched his feet when he was afloat. If any electricity was involved then they would be zapped !

Another curious confession by Criss, given on the reality show Phenomenon, explains his perspective on paranormal activity.Criss said:"No one has the ability, that I'm aware of, to do anything supernatural, psychic, talk to the dead. And that was what I said I was going to do with Phenomenon. If somebody goes on that show and claims to have supernatural psychic ability, I'm going to bust [him] live and on television."

Thus Criss himself agreed, there is no such things as magic.So how does he pull off these amazing feats? If we knew, then he'd not be the great illusionist that he is today.After all, a great magician never tells his secrets...

Note: All of Criss's illusions are found on Youtube. You'd be a fool not to checkthem out.
