these 2 guys make me laugh.
they walk around on the streets and do these magic tricks. and bring it live and up close. some of that levitation stuff is a trip.
i think its cool on one hand, because it comes from the streets, and not what other magicians do on stage at a magic show.
anyhow, i thought david blaine had an edge, right up until he did some 1 hour show while almost drowning himself in a few minutes. _________________ Los Angeles Lakers
Blaine was cool, when he was doing street magic... his taking the human body to its limits, is lame however. Yeah... I wanna watch some idiot doing nothing in a block of ice, for a week.
Just remember that both guys use camera tricks and re-edits to do their tricks. Like david blaines levitation trick. It's pretty blatant if you know what to look for. It starts off with one view showing the reaction of the people watching. (The reaction is genuine, but he's only levetating about an inch by lifting himself on one tip toe.) Then the camera angle changes to blaine levetating an extreme amount. But if you already saw the previous camera angle you'll see that there was no camera man on that side, and only one camera man in general. They re-filmed the second levetation shot later probably using ropes or a lift or something.
Chris Angel is basically also doing the same tricks that magicians have been doing for a long time, only he's doing it in a documentary fashion.
both angel and david have both supernatural powers. they are gifted people who we should respect.
like the movie xmen, there really are gifted people walking amongst us normal folks. and i believe the day will come when both david and angel will impact the world. i just hope they stay on the good side. because in the very near future, those things we saw at the xmen movie will make the news. gifted people will crawl out of their shell and either cause chaos, or continue to uphold law and order.
now, what side will both david and angel be in? only time can tell.
