Criss Angel: Mind Freak or Mind Fraud? - Comments

hes an illusionist so the things he does are made to look real. He is definetly not a fake because he is so amazing and real. He is a real person with a talent most people dont have. I love to believe eveything he does is real because it makes it more fun to watch his shows. Criss is amazing with everything he does and nothing will ever change that. There is no one like Criss. Read my criss Angel story!

fake. i go with x-vampiress-x . except the loving him part....

fake. i dont care what anyone says

but he says he does magic, and people have raised discussions that its all illusion and set up and not magic... that's why i pput it in there

He does illusions, he's a Harry Houdini, its fake and set up but amusing none the less. He is an entertainer not a miracle worker, of course its not real, I still love him though

He is an illusionist. That is fine with me. If people find it entartaining and think it is real then so be it. He is just his way of making money in a way he knows how.

He's an illusionist; meaning, it's not real, but meant to look real. It's for entertainment purposes only.

I love Criss Angel, no matter what. :]

Of course it's 'fake' as you described it. It's an illusion. But done well, it gives the impression of magic-and that's all anyone cares about.
Like wrestling. Everyone knows thats fake (or most of the shows, at least). But people still watch it, don't they?
[Although 'magic' is clearly far more impressive than the wrestling shows]

he's entertaining people, and it's getting the kind of publicity he wants it to get
as long as people watch it, does it matter if it's real or not?

It's all fake, but he is very good at pulling it off and illusions.
There's a lot of "Mind Freak Revealed" videos, where he shows how he does it.
Kinda gives it away yeah?

does it really matter if it's real or not? the main purpose of the show is for entertainment, showing people some tricks that are really impressive, not trying to prove that he's like God or something.

if he can survive a building collapse, that's pretty impressive in and of itself.

I don't think that was supposed to be a trick. He does shit like that all the time just to see if he can do it. Unlocking doors and trying to reach a helicopter requires no magic/illusions.

Either way, fraud or not, the show is fun to watch.

Its fake. All magic is an illusion, including Mr. Angel. I must admit, some of his tricks are quite impressive.

There was more to it...if you went to the website they had 5-10 more minutes on a webcast. Now I'm not saying that some illusions are 'fake' or 'real' but...that's what it is...an illusion.

This whole thing is like the deal with wrestling. The debate of wether or not it's real will always be around and there's no convincing fans otherwise.

ok criss angel is real. He has done so many stunts that can't be explained. The float from building to building. The walk on water trick. He was even sawn in half! So look it up on youtube. And tell me and explanation. I'll be glad to hear what you think :)

I was there, and I really don't know, he could easily just have walked down the stairs and out the building and come up out of the dust from the building,

that building was huge, there is no way he could have survived that-
