I haven't, but the commercials cause me nearly paralyzing anger. Weird. :shrug:

1. Do they really? Weird.
I don't love his ads or the intro for the show, but the magic he pulls is damn cool.

5. Only twice
hes an incredibly good magician, but I cant stand the way he builds up to the actual event. Too much made for TV promotion. But I would love to see him live.

One episode I saw involved him setting himself on fire. Very well done.
Basically, in the middle of the street surrounded by people, he sets himself on fire and walks towards the camera. Fully engulfed, he falls flat on his face. Two men with fire extinguishers put him out. The smoke clears, but the body is gone. one of the fire extinguisher guys pulls back his hood, and its Chris.

6. Yeah, stuff like that. Mindblowing.
He's on the street, and has a walkie-talkie. Has the group of about 10 people put a garbage can over him on the regular sidewalk and continues to talk to them through the walkie-talkie. Counts to three, they lift up the garbage can, he's gone, then he yells down to them from a balcony 2 or 3 stories up. :wtf: It's one continuous shot, as far as I can tell. :crazy:

7. Saw part of
an on-the-street trick. He walks thru' a plate glass window from inside the store, tearing the large sheet of paper held up by 2 volunteers on the outside. Holy shit, Batman! My jaw went

I'll definitely sit thru' the whole show.

8. I'm a big fan of the magic
the persona is just something I put up with to get to the amazing shit he pulls. If you REALLY want to see something, go to the site below and watch or download the "Criss Angel Levitation Video." This is no David Blaine 6" off the ground shit.
