This trick is so strange...I'm guessing the secret has something to do with him removing his shoes...but that's just me..
Enjoy!

I've seen this guy do other similar tricks, it always involves him pulling himself or something through glass. I have no idea how he does it.

[Cobra]

Maybe part of the glass can slide down on a catch, and the chap who was in there with him slid it back up just after he'd exited. That's why you never see the glass, because of either the paper or his body. I think that's how it is done.

Why does he ask people to mind their keys?

Oh,yeah.I thought the crowd reaction seemed a little forced(like an infomercial).

[adam]

The other one I saw (I think its the same guy) was him sitting with some people at a glass top table. It was pretty wide open and I didn't really see anywhere for him to hide things. He takes a wine glass and hands it to a girl and has her hold it under the table and push it up to the bottom of the glass. Then he reaches through the glass and grabs it and slowly pulls it through the glass. He stops midway and lets the camera zoom in, and it really is going through the glass.

Another one he did involved him having someone write something on an object. I forget what it was, it might have been a coin. Then he swallows it, does a little funny face action, and then he proceeds to push it along his arm under his skin. He takes a razor blade and cuts his arm and pulls the coin (or whatever it was) out of the cut.

The guy is weird, but good.

I actually saw that catching a bullet in the mouth trick on tv somewhere, can't remember where or when. But I didn't know he did all that stunt crap. That's not magic or entertainment its just russian roulette. Anybody can do it, they just have to be enough of an idiot.

If you want to see more of this guys stuff go to
www.metacafe.com and search for criss (chris) angel. there are lots of his clips on there. I like david blaine better personally.

reading all the comments on the site are just as entertaining as the video

You so smart

OK, I'm a member of the Magicians circle 8). Nah I'm not, it's just bloody obvious as to how it's done

just in case people think it's real, here's how it's done

the window pane is slid upwards to reveal a big gap while the paper is there. This is it shown in the pic below on the left when it's slid fully upwards and you can now see the gap. The pic on the right is when it's slid downwards and appears closed. While he's coming out he's slowly letting it drop behind him and his right foot is the last part to let it drop

obviously if a bird had crapped on the window and you could see it at all times then this isn't how it's done but I'd say sliding glass is hard to see if it's clean enough and flat enough

Glass IS a supercooled liquid,so it might be real

it is obvious it is some mechanism such as this,but why arent the people holding the paper feeling the movement of the pane? Must be plants,not actually pressing it to the surface.

[adam]

Well they would be holding it on the edges so it'd still feel the same and the glass would be moving up from the inside. You can tell that open sign is a plant. Its attached to the wood but made to look like its attached to the glass. That way it looks like the glass is not moving cause the sign stays still. And he makes that guy put his hand against the paper so that the whole paper doesn't push out when he pokes through, giving it away that there is a large opening as opposed to him actually reaching through the glass.

MackemX, I don't think anyone actually thought it was real its just a question of how he pulled it off. Honestly I think we'd have an easier time figuring it out if the quality of the video wasn't so bad.

[MackemX]

I didn't see the Open sign and that's why I talk about bird crap but yeah it would probably be fixed to something else to give the illusion of being on the window

yeah, I know nobody believes it's real but I know Santa is so there :P. I just don't think it would be hard to do, especially if the 2 holding the paper are plants. I know if I was holding the paper I wouldn't be going 'Wow' like a stupid git as you'd probably be able to see what's going on behind the paper

I forgot to mention the bang you can hear when he jumps of the step, notice how it sound the same as when he first bangs the window. Maybe it's being realised the same time as he lands but it is a suspicious sound

notice when they bang on the window at the end the guy inside is suspiciously close to the window also and seemed to be bending down when you first see him or doing something with his arm

I hate street video magic. It's cool to watch, but angles and quality are so easy to manipulate with a camera. Without mirrors, someone made the space shuttle disappear in front of a live audience. How did these people get tickets? Then they give testimonials. If I tell someone to give a fake testimony in exchange for $100, I'm sure they'll go happily on camera and say it disappeared. I personally have no problem accepting $100 for 15 min. of work.

keep watching this post!!!!!!!!!!

keep watching this post!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry I blinked!

[MackemX]

check you PM, I need your Paypal address as there's $100 coming your way to look suprised

[Doramius]

Here's a cool trick. Watch and see how long it takes for Sylvester to catch Tweety. When you see him catch Tweety Scroll down.



























































This was an idiot test. If you scrolled down in less than 30 seconds, Congratulations, you finally relized Sylvester never catches Tweety and you're not very gullable to magic.

30sec.-1min - You're not really gullable, but willing to give benefit of the doubt.

1-2 min - Slight of hand can fool you pretty well.

2-5 min - You're low on the IQ pole there aren't you. You'll fall for quite a bit won't you.

5-7 min - Hey buddy, I can make a $100 bill disappear. Hand me a $100 bill.

7 min or longer - It's best that magic is kept a mystery from you, but if you really want to know the secret, watch Bugs Bunny until he finishes his carrot.
