Chriss Angel - I proved to be a better magician





Well, I have just watched some of Chriss Angel acts in Youtube. People freak out watching his stunt but then I thought to myself I can prove it is too fake to be Antichrist and worship devil to pull magic like that. Without Watching any spoiler or other revealing magic show, I prove to be quite good in unravellings stupid tricks. Watch me.




Knocked by a Car

You see, this trick is an trick easy. There is no danger of dying but there is a problem with this trick where there is a possibility to be run over after hitting him through the wall. That is the only risk but I think he take good precaution steps of making a small bump to reposition the car after the bang. Slick but not so smart.

The trick require the carpenters to built a wall of real bricks, aerated bricks, soaked in acid bricks, perhaps Styrofoams at certain spots and lastly a lintel beam. Now, look at that particular video carefully. The setup of the brickwall is clearly marked by the carpenter. Chriss's gang only need to scribble a few graffiti and some needless stupid pentagram and everything is ready.

Now the construction method is by setting up real brick at the sides and as well on top of the lintel beam to make sure these real bricks stays for inspections later on. Now, the Styrofoams are placed near his head and in a V shape as in the video. Aerated bricks are placed at the corner toward the parameter where the body of the car will pass through to create cool scene and the soaked bricks are placed around at the remaining spots of the wall.

When the act takes place. Chriss's body absorbed the impact with soaked bricks. Other parts of his body and his head will absorb the impact through the Styrofoam bricks. He act and play dead (thats the so-gay part of the trick). Can you believe you could be alive at impact like that? Well nothing happen to Chriss. His worthless USD200 car did not even end up with broken headlight. So, a good and smart engineer like me will not get fool. So, this trick is way so GAY.





Steamrolled!

This is also another lame trick. I guess every seasoned engineer especially those who is doing a lot of road work is laughing way out loud. So this trick is purely simple.

So that camera, those fruits and beers got run over and the breaking of the glass is the only methods to consolidate the believe of the fans. Nothing more. So hold on tight and embrace a bloody prank.

The steamroller is real. Do not even bother to check the steamroller. It is real. But have you checked the glass and the pavement where the broken glasses are placed? The glasses are composition of two type of glasses. Real glass and sugar glass. The placing of these glasses make the different. The pavement? The size of the pavement does matter. So watch it carefully.

When he walk on the glass, that glass in the middle are sugar glass. While the real glass is placed carefully at the side. The brown one are the real glass. Make no mistake. So when he walk over the glasses, he is actually walking over sugar. A sets of blood bags are placed carefully and labeled with certain color of the glass with certain size. The blood bags will burst and stick to his foot. At a slow pace, he manage to fake it.

Toward the end where he is about to lay down and wait for the steamroller is clearly marked. Here, there pavement was cut into appropriate size and supported not with a mattress but Styrofoams to ensure it does not have that jelly texture. So as he lay down on the sugar glass, he start to make all sort of gesture, people start to pray.

The dangerous part of this trick is the pavement. If any inevitable scenario happens, this is purely bad shit! A small hole is created for him at the size of one third the width of the concrete roller. I believe they reinforced it with braces and even expensive concrete to ensure continuous safe support. The stream roller go through him with one third supported at the pavement at the right and the other one third supported at the left. Remember your younger years. You freak out when you walk over the bloody bridge with two planks? The concrete roller rest the whole weight on the outer pavement like how a car rest its two tires on the two planks. Please use your brain to visualize.

When the steamroller go over him, his legs are compress toward the Styrofoam. This is painful but everyone's muscle can contract and muscle's form can be shifted. The stream roller goes through until his tummy only. Due to the high risk, this act only goes up to this level. Thankfully, the driver did a perfect work. The act end up with me still laughing for the crap talk previously on the show.





Levitate a women

This is the worst trick any magician should do when he get bored. The string is attached to Chris during the interview therefore there is no string felt by the spectators and the victim. So now after the interview, the hypnosis is a fake. The girl happens to believe it so much and actually choose to believe it lay relax. When Chris push her body to lean against his hand and later be lifted up with the assistant of two other people. Chris distract the spectator and these two person actually form a shield to block other's view from seeing him attaching the hook.

He girl stays relax and when the hook is in place, Chriss readjust his body and behave like a pulley. His vertical stripe shirt prevents you to see the string when it start to act. Watch closely at the back of Chriss. There are two assistants who assist him and a clear line where the camera man will not go through. Now when Chriss about to "levitate' this lady, the assistant gets a green light to start. Without noticing it, she gives a thumbs up. Open her slanted luggage bag which is another puller. During the filming period you can see her hand is like pulling the string. Replay the video until you see it. Her hand movement coincide with the levitation processes.

Therefore, I felt so fucked up. It is another Gay prank.




Elephant Reappear

Chriss is totally hopeless with this trick! So much of crap talk and a National Geographic talk. It is a trick which is acted by a few assistants at a specific spot. Others are blinded. So the trick seems convincing until I start to see the background. Remember, it is an empty parking lot.

Now, look at the back, there is a dark building at the back. The black pyramid. The second one is the big buses and trucks which are available at the background. There is nothing at the outside. That is true but the real spectator got cheated when they are blinded at the opposite corner.

The black background is used to bring the elephant in when the assistant break open the human circle. Initially, the elephant is in the big truck at the background. See how near the circle is toward the truck? The elephant walks toward the circle as Chriss speak loudly. So when everything is up and at the nick of the second the elephant make its way to the canvas. (Elephant is a fast moving animal). Then, tadaa! The elephant shows up. I mean the elephant and its master showed up.

Ironically, the title is still maintain as Elephant reappear. Somehow, Chriss overdid his spell and even the long disappeared master comes back once more after in limbo for a while. Hahahaha!

How easy and lame this is?? You figure it out!




Hand Through a person

This is the worst trick Chriss has performed so far. This is so fake anyone should notice it at first glance. You know how it is done and there is no point of me explaining it. Right?





Levitates from building

This is another lame trick by Chriss. I wonder why the show continues, I am not sure. Perhaps some Americans are damn stupid. Maybe it is a cheap thrill anyone can watch during their boring hours.

The Levitation done by Chriss is a pure string trick. He moves on the string with a specially designed shoe. The transparent string can not be seen since it is too bright. The camera angles are set to have horizontal darker background to conceal the string. Spectators underneath can not see the string as it is transparent and small wire is invisible on a such bright sunny day. It is easy and yet people still fall for it. damn it!!!!




Kids turn 20.

I am too tired explain this trick. Take a look at the kid and the mother's outfit. They look alike. Others, crap talk. So Chriss just pick up another blazer or coat similar to the mother. Get the girl to stand up on the table. There goes another old school and pathetic stage. Previously, Chriss arranged the big heap of cloths on the side of the table to conceal the actors during the interchange. So the rest, another lame bluff.

Let us go back to the first screen, the lady for the interchange run to the fitting room to dress up. Nothing much but a red dress. Look at the other cloths she is wearing. Got it? You are wrong. Only the jean pair of jean are alike. She is concealing her black hair. Others are available on the fitting room. What the point for this particular footage? To confuse you when you watch it again to figure out is that the interchange actor. The mother, another distraction.

If you think that I am smart in unveiling the stunt, think about what I could do if I audit your records and reports for ISO 9001:2000 audit. Perhaps, people are feeling the pressure as I am the Resident Engineer for the project.

I am tired of watching. I am really tired. You watch it again and figure it out. I going to the washroom for a shower. You have a nice day.
