    I cant wait to see what Randi says about this.

    The airing dropped out sound twice… I guess the second time was just a precaution? Or did I miss something that was said?

    ok first of all, the whole point of being a magician is to entertain the audience. I think criss angel acted wrongfully. No one gets on his show and says, “i’ll give you a million dollars if you can walk up this building of fly up to the tallest branch of a tree.” or maybe he just did it for the ratings, or maybe he has another show in the works that we don’t know about…It really angered me on how criss acted. It’s a show people, magicians will all agree, we entertain, we leave the audience thinking that the have just experienced something mystical, magical and out of this world. Point blank, Criss, you were wrong.

    I disagree that Criss Angel was wrong. I think the whole issue has to deal more with Uri Geller and possibly Jim Callahans past. Although I dont know much about Jim …I do know that If you ever go to a bookstore and you try to find Uri Gellers books in the magic section…stop looking..its in the Metaphysical Section. He has clamined for years to be the real deal… a mystic ..convincing people that he has real supernatural powers using tricks well know to the magical community.

    Its a fine line putting on a good show or telling people your the next dali lama…
    Its a fight that Houdini championed untill his Death against those claiming to talk to the dead. So my question is this? Is it a coincidence that Criss Angel Challanged both Jim and Uri on the Day Houdini Died?…I don’t think so…

    Donovan,

    Great point about the timing of the event on the day of Houdini’s death.

    That Jim Callahan guy is nothing but a fake and I’m glad that Criss stood up against him. I mean, when he got out of his chair, I was afraid that he was going to punch that guy right in the face, but I’m glad that the fight didn’t go any further (Thank God for that). Good job, Criss! You know that us, Loyals love you and always will. You just kicked Jam Callahan’s butt right then and there. Great job and keep it up!

    Jim should have known it was coming, Chris has stated many times that he’ll bust anyone that claims paranormal power.

    chade agred (you spelled Criss’ name wrong) i agree with most people, Jim Should have know what was commin, Criss hase said he would 100% show those fakes out

  • Bill

    But when has Jim claimed powers from beyond? If you go on Jims website it even says on the bottom of his website on every page its for entertainment and is not meant to be taken seriously. Its nothing more then character he made up. Just like how Criss Angel is a character on his show MindFreak.

    donovan, thanks for pointing out the houdini “date.” I do see your side and respect your point of view. I don’t believe he should be claiming “super” natural powers when we all know when he uses the “nail writer” or “forces.” But if you look at; is criss angel in “the right” when he says, “I’m going to walk up this building” or watch as i “make this butterfly vanish and turn into a tattoo.” But going over your statement maybe criss was right to say something sinse he has run his mouth about “exposing” people. I think it would’ve been totally shocking if he actually told criss what was in the envelope. After your comment, i decided to not take either side, just waiting patiently in what the next episode has to show us. I want to say thankyou to itricks.com for putting the video up for us to view, you guys are awesome.

    The whole PHENOMENON is a joke… Magic and Mentalism shouldnt be deconstructed the way they are in this show… “Yes your performance was very believable” Sort of meaning its fake, which it is, dont get me wrong. But let people enjoy it. Let them think for a minute or two that it could be real. Thats what MAGIC is all about. Criss Angel says he’s MR. Supernatural, performing a seance. At the end he claims its fake too, so why go after Jim? He even said “I hope you enjoyed the ENTERTAINMENT” Its an act, its entertainment, its art… Dont try to prove yourself Criss. We all know you do use camera tricks, stooges and you needs lots of help with your sleight of hand. Your lucky to have that show and I would pray every night your fans dont realize how fake you really are.
