It's been on for three seasons on A&E. He has really done some extremely cool tricks, it comes on at 10pm on Tuesday evenings. If you get a chance you should really watch it. He has made a cellphone go into a beer bottle, levitated between two buildings, walked up the side of a building. He made an elephant disappear, a hummer, pulled a playmate out of someones duffle bag. It's a good show, and he is a good illusionist.
I can't stand David Blaine, and I was a huge fan of David Copperfiled. I think Criss Angel is an awesome performer, and so does the entire magic community, who gave him their highest award, two years in a row I believe. If he isn't the top magician performing right now I'd really like to know who is,
And a horrible magician, in my opinion (and a lot of other peoples opinions) is a magician who's act you can figure out, not one who stumps you 95% of the time.
No that was John Edwards, the phycic guy. But yeah I really don't like David Blaine either. Him and the people he does tricks with (supposedly random people) just have a blah personality and those people never even seem all that impressed. Besides that I don't think his illusions are that good or hard to figure out.
Oh derr.. David Blane was that Super Best Friends episode where he tries to get tax exempt status by having people drown themselves! lol.. sry, the episodes all kinda run together now..
I agree with all the Blaine comments, he just seems so bored, and doesn't seem to show any type of emotion. And what's magical about standing on a pole, sitting in a block of ice, or in a glass box? And that whole BS about holding his breath for nine minutes, what a crock.
Yeah, but stooges? That's too easy to see through.

So Blaine uses stooges but Criss angel doesnt? They're magicians/illusionists, stooges are always involved in tricks/illusions involving more than one person, especially on tv. for starters the cameraman who has to get the right angles..
But it's so easy just to say, "Everyone's in on it." Then to explain how it was actually done. And there's no doubt that they both have used stooges, but I'm sure a lot of his illusions are really illusions that even fool the people you see participate on TV.
