I understand why people may not like Criss Angel but I think he's a great entertainer, and really that's all I care about, and as I've stated before, he doesn't try and convince me that he has supernatural powers...so I can respect that.

Criss Angel realizes it's entertainment. And for what it's worth, he now has a live show in vegas so i'm not sure how he plans on "hiding behind the camera" there.

Penn and Teller rule btw

Last trip a few of these girls were down there, and they were asked to be in this shot for one of his 'illusions', the guy quite directly told them to 'act surprised' even though it would be clear its not an illusion.

One of my good friends is a solid magician. When he was apprenticing in Calgary, he and this other guy who was apprenticing with him would go down to the Stampede and practice lifts and stuff on tourists. They'd always give the wallet back "Hey, man you dropped this!" but he's a fun guy to know. It's nice to bring him along when we go to play cards somewhere to as, in addition to being a solid player, he can spot someone trick-dealing a mile away.
