I hate that guy, he never levitates people down. I'm guessing that the 'down' bit is a little more difficult. To me it seems a bit cruel, a definite magic abuse of the circle, to just leave them hanging like that. Though I bet Criss Angel could do it. Criss Angel has orange soda for blood. He rocks me unconscious.
I think we need to place a total ban on youtube links, because I can't open them at work and therefore can't see what the fuck you are all laughing about! I want to be included, godamnit!
I hate both those guys. Criss Angel strikes me as the kid in high school who wanted to be cool but never quite got it (not that I was cool or anything) but David Blaine has always struck me as Beelzebub in disguise.
Magicians are the A/V geeks of the entertainment world. The best are the ones who revel in their grotesque freakishness (Penn & Teller, Ricky Jay). David Blaine, Copperfield, and the Mindfreak dude are what happens when magicians try to be rock stars. You can sexy it up all you want, but in the final analysis, you're still just some dork on a stage making weird hand motions and playing with a ball and cups.
