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)

Kinjo- sorry, I wan't sure where to put it.
Bb3- I apologize if I came across as demeaning to his work. I absolutely love what he does and I admire greatly the dedication he gives. My question was about the source of his performances. Basically, is he more of the Houdini tradition, or the occult tradition? I guess I was asking mostly out of the fact that I'd love to know if these things are possible for a guy like me. I know next to nothing about stage magic and probably couldn't do the least impressive of it's 'tricks'. But I do know quite a bit about occult practices, and if he was using one path or other maybe I'd be able to explore it during my off-time. Really, I was just curious, 'cause Chriss Angel always seems to be lightyears beyond his contemporaries.
