These are all absurd smokescreens designed to mask Chriss Angel's witchcraft.

Actually, I take that back...the guy's explanations are fairly retarded. There are some far easier ways to explain the tricks. Criss Angel's crap isn't even an illusion, it's blatant camera trickery and editing.

If you actually analyze the videos, there are blatant ****ups in the camera department--look at the "floating between buildings" trick. The live "flotation" has his legs straight but, in another shot, they're crossed.

At first (when I first saw the video) that was my observation, but I re-watched the video and I noticed that Chriss Angel does cross his legs. There is a point in his levitation where he crosses his legs (2:13) as he levitates from building to building, but his back faces the camera so you almost cannot see him cross his legs as he levitates across.

Look, here's the King Rising levitation explanation:

I viewed the video the first time when AngryManatee posted it (actually I had already seen it before I even created this thread).Why do you believe that I am blinded by my beliefs? I am being as objective as I can be.
The video that you provided Shakyamunison is not proof, but it is a poor smokescreen designed to cover up what is really at work (i.e. supernatural, occult ability made possible by demons). Don't believe me? Notice how David Blaine levitates out in the open (he is not in a controlled environment like a studio).
http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2005/blaine-levitates-p1.php (Notice how high David Blaine levitates [B]plus he does not step up on anything in order to levitate.
This rules out Chriss Angel's explanation concerning how levitation is made possible.)Question: Did David Blaine use the method that Chriss Angel explains in the video in order to levitate? No, he didn't. In the Chriss Angel video that you furnished it shows Chriss stepping up onto a box. But David Blaine steps on nothing to levitate (think about that for a moment).
Second, check out Chriss Angel's levitation from building to building. Now ask yourself: based on the video that you provided where Chriss Angel explains how he performs levitation, does it account for how he was able levitate from building to building? No, it does not.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlIwcVAxZsU (Chriss Angel levitates from building to building without wires)
So, I reiterate my conclusion again. There are only two possible causes for how David Blaine and Chriss Angel levitate (not to mention all of the other supernatural things that they do):
1) special effects
2) supernatural (occult) power which exists (i.e. demons)There is no way that there could be special effects because everything is in the street (not in a studio or other controlled environment), hence the term street magician. So that only leaves one other explanation: supernatural (occult) power which exists (i.e. demons).

There are no special pockets in their pants to allow CO2 (stop and think about what you are saying because it is absurd).
Do you believe that supernatural power exists FeceMan?

Before you ask me like you always do I post here because I like to talk about comics, artwork, graphic and computers, just random chat and banter and debating and learning about new subjects such as religion, philosophy, science and the like.
Even if we grant that their levitation is indeed exceptional enough to warrant an exceptional explanation, we could, for example, postulate that the event was caused by the incredible powers of human mind rather than to ascribe it to a god or the devil. This explanation is no less credible and in fact has the advantage that we know that humans minds exist.
If someone is going to advance one supernatural, paranormal or unusual explanation for an exceptional event, they have to be willing to consider every other supernatural, paranormal or unusual explanation. How on earth can one reasonably support the idea that something occurred because of a god or the devil rather than the human mind?
Stephen Wiltshire is an autistic man who has the incredible ability to draw buildings in specific and accurate detail after seeing them just once. He provides exact, literal renditions of any building, no matter how complex. He views buildings, in person or from a photograph, and retains an exquisitely precise and detailed image for later recall and drawing. Additionally, he can sense and draw a building, no matter how complex, with a three-dimensional perspective from a two-dimensional photo. Stephen produced a panoramic memory drawing of Tokyo on a 10 meter long canvas within 7 days following a short helicopter ride over the city. Magic? Stephen Wiltshire has his talent because of his "malfunction" of the brain. It enables him to access certain parts of the brain which process sound, vision and numbers, something most people can not.

I rest my case because I have proven it.

I have never seen you do anything like that.

David Blaine and Chriss Angel's ability is supernatural (i.e. made available to them through demons).
You are delusional.

We don't all have full access to our own brains, nor do we have full understanding of our minds.
Some people can do great things that others cannot.
JIA has this perspective that we are severely limitted and incapable beings, and that we can only acheive ANY kind of power through imaginary characters God and Satan.
Humankind has done great things before Christianity came about, and without the backing of Judaism.
JIA does not realize the power that human beings already have. He is either ignorant to it, or rejects it.
JIA even denounces being a good person, as useless, because he beleives that without Jesus there is no good.
He has a very limitted perspective on life and morality, and despite your input, he will not be open to it.

That's an extremely well put point. Many Atheists have grown to do great things without God. Can you explain psychics? Did they attain the ability of Clairvoyance from Satan. Do the flashes I get in my head result from demonic intervene. What about the religions before Christianity? Like *cough*Wicca*cough*... Are they wrong because they serve different gods than yourself? There's life outside of the bible. People with emotions, thoughts, and perspectives.
