Well he might be impressed because, well, they didn't have camera editing and paid reactions back then. So i guess if he didn't know what those things were he'd be impressed. Criss gets hate because... well, he's a **** street magician. And i dont care who you are, you see through that.
He'd be like the other 'consultants': criss: "I'll give you a ****ton of money to come up with tricks that don't suck ass and i'll make them fake with camera editing. And then you come on afterwards saying how awesome i am. Sound good? Good, MINDFREEAAAAKKKK"
