I'm sorry if this has been posted before, I doubt it has.

But I found this kid on youtube doing some tricks that Criss Angel has done.

Now I'm not here to ask how he's doing it, I'm asking of what you guys think about it. Now if you watch these, you can obviously tell this kid is trying to pose as Criss Angel, but don't look at that, look at the trick.

I find that this guy has the whole magic thing with the methods and what not.
He seems to be able to figure this stuff out or have some source for it. I respect him for that.
But what I hate are posers. Im not exactly saying that this kid is a douche but hes kind of over doing it on the whole Criss Angel Mindfreak stuff. The long hair, the music, the whole style, it just really ticks me off.
I would find it a lot more enjoyable if he created his own style and character rather than copy the one of Criss'. And Im not too big a fan of Angel either so that might be it but yea...

haha. I mean, I don't really care if he's a mimic of Criss Angel, ya know?
People should work with what floats their boat.

So all I have to say is it looks quite ridiculous with all the facade.

figured out the no-cut teleportation one.

ive got a slight idea with the walk on water one too. mustve taken him a lot of 'takes'.

=D
 
If this kid is dressing up like Criss Angel then Criss is doing his job. His job is to entertain as well as to keep people coming back for more. That is exactly what he is doing. He has entertained this kid so much that this kid has made Criss his role model. Think about it... if this is how Criss makes a living then so be it. good for him as well as this kid for finding someone to look up to.

In addition, I do not belive that any of these videos were camera trickery. I feel that they were all genuine and the kid really did find a clever way of finding how to do these. Good for him once again. Although him trying to be Criss' twin is a bit much it again shows tha Mr. "Angel" is doing his job.

Congrats to the kid in the videos. Thumbs up.

his old channel was better

You would know..

I really don't know what to say. I like the overall effects, and the performances are nice. But he is taking the whole Angel thing a little bit to far. I honestly think that he would be a lot more fun to watch if he had his own style.

I really find this kid annoying. The fact he looks like Criss Angel and performs all his tricks is whats wrong with kids and maic these days. Theres less and less creativity out there when you can youtube how to do an effect

I think what hes doing is good, hes performing impressive effects, he probabbly will find his own style soon but right now hes doing what he loves/likes.

No, it's the problem with some kids and magic these days. The good kids, the ones you don't know about, don't put videos on youtube but are out performing.
