Who gives a sh*t?
Sorry to post on an old-as-hell thread, but guys, seriously. You use secretive methods to accomplish your "magic" too, but when it comes to Criss Angel, 99% of you guys have nothing to say about him but camera tricks. If your Angel arguments made any sense, you guys should also be bashing nearly every stage magician who performs big illusions in the world. And camera tricks is a misnomer - there is nothing special about the camera footage. So here's my advice to you, if you're one of those guys that bashes him: get the f**k off your chair and go into the real world. Think about things that actually matter.
And yes, that was intended to be as rude as it sounded (if not ruder).
EDIT: It's just REALLY annoying to see people talking about him like how he accomplishes anything matters. But I stand by what I said.
