Criss angel mass levitation.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you participated in his mass levitation. I participated in it and felt like I was going to float, but didn't. It was a feeling as if I was falling forward, but wasn't. I think I just need to believe more . Criss Angel is amazing at what he does, no matter who you are or what you say, he is. Here is a video of it if you didn't get to try it.



I'm going to be attempting it for the third time tonight, or at least until I actually levitate. I believe I'm able to, but it's a feeling of doubt I get when I'm actually about to.


Your thoughts?

 

My sister was at Circus Circus when he did the levitation of like five different people. She actually got on camera and was in a pretty good spot. She did however tell me some pretty shocking things about his levitation secret.

 

Wow, that would be quite an experience ^_^ . I wish that I could levitate like him. I can't even do it through his mass levitation video. I believe that it could actually would if I tried hard enough.

 

Actually she was very dissapointed. Everyone in the crowd had to pretend they were asleep. They couldn't even watch the levitations. I would tell you more but don't want to spoil your opinions of criss angel.

 

Holy shit i felt lightheaded and dizzy but i rocked side by side by myself. this is true weed man it was crazy

 

That's basically what everybody is saying they felt. On youtube there's many people who's arms went up, but not their feet. I felt my feet leave the ground for a split second, I think. It's a great way to feel relaxed imo :laugh: .

 

Im just not a believer. I guess I will never feel what you do.

 

I don't know if anybody actually levitated. I think it's somewhat of a psychological illusion that makes you think you're floating. But, I can't explain how he does it. He's superb.

 

I would have done it the second time but i dont believe in the devil

god ftw lol

 

Could anyone ever be so right?

 

God Criss Angel is so annoying, heh. This is such a load of shit Jesus Christ.

If you wanna feel like you can levitate have your arms at your side and have someone hold both of your arms against your sides while you try your hardest to lift your arms up so that you would be in a pose like Jesus on the cross. Make sure they are strong enough though that no matter how hard you try you cannot move your arms from your sides. Then after about a minute then stop holding on and you stop trying and your arms just sort of float up.

Same type of feeling if you carry around a very heavy backpack for a long time and then take it off. Your body gets so used to the weight you feel like you're just being pulled off the ground.

Now back to Criss Angel - It's just completely fake so I don't even find it entertaining. At least with more traditional magic there is usually a more elaborate solution to their tricks than blatant camera tricks, actors and shit like that. His whole presentation just bores me too, maybe because it's so obviously phony.

 

As of right now, he's the best magician to ever live. Just because one can't catch along with the tricks he does, doesn't mean he has to be hated for it.

 

Hate to spoil his levitation but it's wires, the people are actors.

 

Because in a balanced state of hypnosis, telekinesis and many things you're able to do. And, tell me exactly, how can you fake walking out into the middle of a lake?

 

KIABIN if you remember me saying earlier my sister was at his circus circus show, she said she could see the wires on the girl that was levitating. I also watched Revealing the Magicians Code, it reveals how magicians perform their tricks. They showed how to levitate from one building to another, there is very hard to see wires used with the light from the sun to completely hide them. There is a crane off camera that holds the wires. This same technique can be used to walk on water.

 

The body relies on visual, auditory, and tactile cues to detect motion. That's why some people feel 'motion sickness' when they watch fast-motion movie scenes; they're receiving contradictory stimulae that tell them they're moving, but not.

All this video does is block visual/auditory cues by making you close your eyes and focus on the voice. It also encourages you to ignore the feeling of the ground beneath your feet. Having thus obstructed your senses, your brain is open to other suggestions. By imaging the balloons and the sensation of floating (weightlessness, etc), it's easier to convince your mind to believe it.

None of it's real. Any visual 'proof' is just a magic trick.

 

very well put and all true.

 

You don't honestly think he can walk into the middle of a lake do you?

 

Well, it's obviously hard to fake. I can't say I don't believe it, only because he is the best magician to ever live.

 

Agreed, I believe that its all in the mind.
