Don't you mean 4?
HAL
This time they're right parrot….Criss Angel is NOT a magic act.
m parrott
Criss Angel's Believe has many illusions in it, so surely that makes it a magic act
HAL
Parrott: I said 'Criss Angel is NOT a magic act'. Some people actually believe 'Mindfake' was a magic show. You have to be a magician to have a magic act, Criss does not qualify. BTW: Under “Add New Comment”….'tolog' isn't a word.

Don't listen to the Troll Parrott. Hal has never seen BeLieve..so how can he judge? I have. Many illusions is correct. Woven together with a haunting story line which transports you into the true world of illusion. Have you seen it?
HAL
“Transports you into the 'TRUE' world of illusion”? When did Criss Angel ever say ANYTHING that's TRUE? He's the biggest liar on the planet. 'What you see is what you get'…..I won't do a trick unless I can do it live'….'This isn't my wife, it's my girl'…..'I don't use camera tricks'. No, I did'nt see beLIEve, I just read the terrible reviews of 95% of the people who did waste their money.

Hal, guess as a youngster you were never loved by your parents or had the talent or ability to garner any love, acclaim or most definitely any attention upon yourself– which transended into your mediocre life and as many years past a geriatric old timer yielding an interminable void in your pathetic life. Thus your total infatutation and “man crush” with Criss. This the result of a dichotomy that perhaps Criss blew you off from signing your MindFreak DVD or the same, and you are holding a pathetic ambivalent grudge against him? Millions throughout 90 countries love him and will continue to do so for everyting he does as your poor little “demagoguery” against him is futile. Don't your moronic eyes and heart if you had one see that you a$$wipe? He is continuing to plug away doing what pleases him to the dislikes of little peaons like you. Keep writing Hal as it gives him fortuitivnes to make millions more you'll never see even though I'm sure he hasn't a clue who the heck you are or give one $h!t other than to abhorrently thank you for your endless devotion to his every move and keeping him in the limelight where he obviously deserves…he obviously playing you and has already planned reaction's from you and every douchbag lowlife like you for every action he takes. Sorry Hal, don't like to chime in like this or single you out, but you deserve so much more. But it is ok as we will never agree and you will continue to coward behind your computer monitor being a champion of chumps. Pretty safe you nit wit!! I am done reading about your so matter of “factual” stuff that is so elementary and so ill advised that it is a sad commentary on your part. Get a life, get some experience, get some wisdom, knowledge, intellect and then maybe we can finally have a mutual exchange of thoughts and ideas. Till then pi$$ off you deranged, old, pathetic little small minded less than mediocre man!!
HAL
WOW Dean, how long did it tale you to do that brilliant post? You must either be very smart, or just another gullible sucker who thinks Criss Angel is a magician. The latter seems to apply. I'm sure he is liked in these countries, but also known for the fraud he is. If he's so great, why are almost all the reviews of his show saying “HE SUCKS”? Now he's got a bike of human bones, that sure says a lot for him. He used his wife (as his girl) to promote his fame, then stalled out the divorce, great guy. Has a cat that belonged to somebody else, ditto. I'm not hiding behind a computer, I would love to go on Larry King and show the world how he does his great 'MAGIC”. People who fall for his act, (not meant in a degrading way) are simply ignorant. As many names as you can think to call me, nobody has ever denyed the way I claim he does his magic. Youtube is full of videos exposing him as the FRAUD he is, you simply refuse to see the truth. Sure he has millions, so does Sylvia Brown, Peter Poppoff, Madilyn Murray O'hair, and all the other fakes in the world. It certainly does'nt make them good people. You tell me to get wisdom and knowlledge, how much knowledge do you have that you can't see what this jerk really is???? I guess you're also psychic knowing what kind of life and parents people have? It's obvious that you're just writing what people usually say about someone when you have no facts to back up what you say. As always here, I offer the explanation of his phony magic to anyone who want's the truth. (nana12027@comcast.net) But, how can I argue about someone who walks on water?

Could we all just ignore the useless rants? There starting to become repetitive. In hence “annoying”… (Hal makes some bashing remark about Criss Angel, Someone gets offended so they decide to say something about his negativity. He fells he has something to prove so he talks some random gibberish as if hes Blackstone. And it goes on and on and on and on…)
I quit fighting against him when it was pointed out to me that Wining a argument against Hal would be just like winning a gold medal at the “Special Olympics” and you have no disability. Take the hint if you ignore him he will go away. Or at least have less comments to make against anyone…
And honestly I'm not upset about this but it is kinda my personal opinion others may see it the wrong way. But Mr. Young, Hals advertisement to reveal Secrets of Magic to anyone that sends him an e-mail in my opinion is going against the rules of the website. I understand that hes doing it off the website. But it's still supporting the reveal if you're allowing him to post up a way to publish the reveals… That's just my opinion, You're doing a great job with the site and all. I just wanted to share that.
HAL
Sorry Crow, I won't just go away. I believe the name calling here started with Dean's post. I only posted about Criss Angel. People like you and Criss' other worshippers find the need to associate my life and family with my comments about Criss. I believe Mr. Young allowed you to promote your act on iTricks. It's not giving away secrets, but it's free advertisement. And, as I stated before, I'm NOT giving away 'Magic Secrets', only Criss' secrets which, no matter how much you argue, are NOT magic secrets. Do you post on the James Randi site telling him not to expose Geller and the psychics? Why do you single out Criss Angel, he's as big a fraud as the others? You and a handfull of people here tell me I'm wasting my time, but I have shown some thinking people what a fake he is. Also, I'm not 'publishing' reveals on a one on one e-mail converstion, it's for those who wan't the truth and don't only care about being one of Criss Angel's bimbos. Just another opinion: I checked some of Andrew Mayne's videos on youtube. I really don't understand how someone with his creativity and talent can even find time for the likes of Criss Angel.

I had vowed never to comment here again cause it was pointless, but then it occurred to me that I should post because of that. What really are any of us accomplishing here? Is arguing about this going to solve world hunger, make us millionaires, or get the world to agree that war is NOT a good thing? *sigh* Neither side is going to let up and i think we have all made that very clear. But you know what why don't we all just keep arguing dispight the fact that we are going to remain in an infinite stalemate? Wont that be swell?
m parrott
I think I'll keep quiet next time…
HAL
Sounds good to me. Don't we need arguments? At the end of every court case, don't we have 'closing arguments'?
m parrott
“Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument is an exchange of ignorance”. This may have been better discussed I would say.
HAL
I would say that people in general (for example, married couples) have 'arguments' all the time. Does this mean that the whole country is ignorant? I think we have both here. I discuss here (as much as they allow me) without discussing methods, how Criss Angel does his Mindfake act. The 'argument' here, IMO, with his loyal fans, such as FIF & Brookie, and some male posters, is that he isn't the fake I claim he is. Again, IMO, there is no 'argument' that he is as big a fraud as possible. My discussion or argument (whichever you choose) is that these people don't argue or discuss the main issue, “HIS MAGIC”. On this site & others, these mostly infatuated women, discuss his looks, hair, bling, bimbos, etc., etc. I would think that with a site called “iTricks”, we could assume the subject is 'MAGIC”. Their 'argument' about my statements about Criss Angel, a supposite magician, consists of things like, “I wasn't loved by my parents, had no talent, and had a pathetic life”, etc. Again, IMO, it seems that somebody who comes to these conclusions based on my opinion of Criss Angel can't be too intelligent either. Maybe they are psychic. Truth is, I've been married for much longer than these people have been alive, had wonderful parents and family. Maybe you should take your psychology classes again, your evaluations could'nt be more screwed up.
Gail
Can anybody tell me why Criss Angel is dating that KID Sandra. Isn't he made fun of enough. She looks like she could be his daughter. I see pictures of them together and I am so embarrassed for Criss.
Brookie
In a court of law there is a judge, jury, prosecution, and defense. Durring jury selection defense and prosecution subject the jury to vodire…a series of questions in which the prosecution and the defense question the jury basically about themselves to see if any person in the jury is to their liking. After jury is selected and trial has begun each side gives their opening statements and they present their case. closing arguments are made yes but only after each side has presented a knowledgeable, well informed, factually based case formed from evidence not opinions. No crime has been lawfully committed by Criss, so in no way shape or form is this like a court of law so it shall not be compared to one as you did by providing the remark about closing arguments.
I am in a Criminal justice class in college…don't mess with me. Oh and before I go I gave you the short list just now. I can go more detailed if you would like for me to. My Professor is an investigator for the defense and today we had a guest speaker who is a Prosecutor.

Thus the Special Olympics continue… I'm gonna go join Timothy Drake… Peace.
HAL
Good point Gail, maybe because it makes him feel like a kid instead of the middle age bozo he is, or all the bimbos are taken, who knows? Brookie: I don't think the definition of the word argument changes because Criss hasn't comitted a crime (unless you consider murdering magic a crime). But the big point of the day is, as I heard during his bombastic appearence on WWE last night….”Criss Angel named MAGICIAN OF THE CENTURY” by the magic Academy. Who with a brain names sombody ANYTHING of the century???? Has there ever been an actor..president..sports figure..scientist..shoe salesman..Mafia boss..crack dealer..ANYBODY IN ANY PROFESSION named so-in-so of the CENTURY? Is the magic profession that desperate for attention or an audience to do this? If it wasn't so ridiculous, i'd be rolling on the floor laughing. Do any REAL magicians believe that this bad excuse for a magician is the 'Magician of the Minute'? Sure, his love sick fans thing he the greatest, but people who are supposed to know something about magic thinks Mindfake makes him great. This is a crying shame. If you missed the WWE, his greatest tricks were pulling the thread from his eye, and the knife under styrofoam cups, which every magician does. Of course, he does it by reading muscles. So much for his performance “LIVE”. They should have imploded the arena. “Criss Angel, Joke of the Millenium” is more accurate.
Kenneth
Oh come Gail that is an easy one to figure out. It is quite obvious that the girl Criss is dating is still a child. What women over the age of 30 would want to date him. Dating a kid is easy for Criss. He can act like a man with somebody like her.
I agree with you though Gail he does look like he is dating his daughter. Maybe he is gay and Sandra is just a cover up. He did dump the beautiful hot Holly Madison for this girl. Makes you think why?
HAL
If you ever checked the A&E site, you'd see there are women from 30 to 60 who want him. One woman left her husband thinking she had a chance with Mr. Perfect. Idea for season 6 (if it ever happens), he could 'Escape' from the closet and admit he's gay. Criss and Carrot Top make a lovely couple.
