Hey all,

I myself don't really possess much of anything that could be called 'psi'. I can move a pendulum, flicker a flame, you know, little tricks and such. But my post here is about Chriss Angel.
I know he's an illusionist, and I realize that like 90% of it is just smoke and mirrors. But some of his stuff just seems to go beyond that. Maybe I'm totally off base with this, cause' I hate when I can't explain how something works, and, well, he falls into that category all too often.
I mean, passing through the solid glass window of a random store front? Levitating a stranger? And the one that really got me, when 'teleported' those people last season. The performance I' m talking about there is that one where he was in the hallway of the hotel and stated there were no camera tricks. Then he told these people to close their eyes, stepped in front of them and suddenly they were like a hundred feet BACK down the hall just walking around a corner.
I know that he could very well be using camera tricks, but somehow I trust him when says he's not.
All in all, this whole rant is about his abilities. Do you think he's ALL illusion, or a combination of such and true psi. Psi would explain the levitation stuff and a few other things, but I'm really interested in the opinion of this community that I can't say I'm a part of. My thing is CM personally, so I don't know a whole lot about these things. Any opinions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused012.gif)

I've seen a Japanese magician move a coin through a glass table, back again, and eventually leave it inside the glass itself.

No idea.

The value of an individual is not numerically assignable. Given the individual's infinite capacity to affect change (for better or for worse), it follows that their value is just as infinite. Logically then, not only are all individuals of equal value, but all possible combinations and groupings of individuals are of equal value, and finally, no matter an individual's past actions, their capacity to affect positive change is not diminished.

The value of the individual is sacrosanct, but actions must be directed in an effort to affect positive change.
