paparoach429 · 07-22-2008, 11:00 AM

ok here is the story. i was comming home from work yesturday (i live in chicago), so you can imagine there is some characters that take the train there. well i was on the red line train and i looked to see this guy with a cigarette floating in front up his face! im like what the f***! and i was watching him for like 5 minutes while he was doing all this crazy stuff like putting the cigareete on the floor and standing above it and making it float back up to him. my dad says it was probably a magnet in the cigarette and a magnet in his ring. that could have been possible but then he took a 5 dollar bill out of his wallet and and crumbled it up and made that float too!. i seen all the crazy stuff david blaine does and im sure there is other people out in the world that are like him, i just wish i knew how to do it too. lol

Wow! Entertainment on the train! Did it cost extra? That must have been fun, watching a magician ply his trade, that close!

Ever seen any of Chriss Angel's stuff? Like the one where he passed through a plate glass window of a store, surrounded by people? Or walking down the side of a building? Or where he had a bunch of people join hands in a circle in a parking lot, raised some curtains, and an elephant appeared in the center of the circle? That guy's amazing.

I can do this trick and own a version of it. Anyone who wants spoilers lemme know. It's actually pretty old and surprisingly easy to set up. The execution is the trick, making it look good.

No magnets, either.

In Chicago, right? Hmmm, I wonder if a member of Mancow's morning crew was in on this? I wonder if maybe he was behind a seat somewhere with a video camera tapping the whole thing.

It kind of sounds like one of his stunts. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you checked his website out in a few days and see the whole stunt.......his morning show rocks.

cool

i dont believe in magic what so ever but its fun to watch

paparoach429 · 07-22-2008, 05:18 PM

i dont think it was a string. it was floating and then he made like a circle with his hands and made it float in the middle of the circle. if it was a string you would have seen a different movement when he put his hands around the cigarette.

Chris Angel sells DVDs on how to do a lot of his tricks. Most of his "unsuspecting" participants are employees of his...

Still entertaining tough.

stitchclimber · 07-22-2008, 06:17 PM

yeah, chris angel uses a lot of video editing for his tricks, just check out youtube.
