It's not the length of your sleve it's what you keep hidden up it.

Easy, it's Myspace. Thats like trusting Jack Thompson to tell the truth.

That said. Chris Angle is an Illusionist, he even said "illusion" in the first couple of seconds in the clip.

Illusion: something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.

Illusionist: a conjurer or magician who creates illusions, as by sleight of hand.

It's easy to do those kinds of tricks, it all depends on plants, and what you have hidden on your person. They sell light bulbs that can light up by itself, not to mention, fishing wire can be used to make the light bulb lift as if by magic.

To say nothing of the awesomeness of the trick.

"Hello, we're Scottish" has to be the best line, ever.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but mind telling us something we don't know...


What Criss Angel and his piers practice is called stage magic. To someone one with my understanding of the ancient arts all they're doing is basic illusiuon/transmutation. In other words they either change the physical properties or give the apearance of changing the physical properties of an item (useualy the latter). It is quite easy to give the apearance of doing something when you are actualy doing something else.
