Does anyone watch Chriss Angel Mindfreak?
I can't get enough of it. He is amazing.
I would love to know how he does even the little tricks.

I've never seen him. How does he compare to David Blaine?

I reallylike Blaine, but Angel does more outrageous tricks. Both do levitation tricks, but Angel has floated from one building top to another on the other side of a street.
Tonight, he had a woman lie down on a park bench and had two other women pull on her arms and legs and they pulled her in half. Another episode he walked across the entire length of a pool on the water. Mindfreak is right. A&E every Wednesday. Fun stuff.

Criss Angel is very slick indeed. Nice stunts and illusions.
Here he explains a simple levitation: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...06655978150142

The problem I have with Mindfreak is I also wonder how much they do with cameras on TV. I know they claim not to, but just because I am not there in person I am very curious. I would love to see the guy in person.
I think he tops David Blaine. Blaine is crazy but Criss Angel takes it to a different level.

I have seen David Copperfield live and Lance Burton, I would love to see Criss Angel or Blaine. Burton was pretty good, and fairly funny but Copperfield i swear made a deal with the devil.
One of his stunts he had a chicken and a duck He ripped the head off the duck and then the head off the chicken and switched their heads. He then let them go and they ran through the audience, I was 2 feet from the duck and the chicken was quacking and the duck making chicken noises, that freaked me out.

David Blaine is kind of a joke in the magic community. His Street Magic show that created all that buzz is downright poor. While Blaine performs the tricks well, you could have bought every single one of those tricks at a store like Magizmos that used to be in the University Mall. Plus I just don't like his persona.
Burton is the man. He combines great close up stuff with the big stage illusions. Copperfield is good too. My friend's little brother portrayed the boy Copperfield during his flying illusion. Criss is probably the hottest guy out there right now. One of my faves is Ricky Jay. Amazing sleight of hand. Look for some vids of him.
