Criss Angel: Fraud?

[Sandy]

These video explores the question of special effects versus illusion. If special effects and film edits are used to create an effect, can you call the effect a legitimate illusion? You decide.

This isn't camera trickery, the video isn't even trying to show that. It's just trying to prove that Criss Angles isn't really magic. *gasp!* I had no idea! My entire world and all of my ideals have just been CRUSHED!

I also watched the first one. According to the Youtube comments, it can be explained away by the style of lens being used and the fact that the car is on a slope. So, that one's atleast debatable.

I didn't bother with the other ones.

Criss Angel doesn't use real magic! OH NOES!

It's still cool looking.
