Harry Houdini and Chris Angel - revealing the REAL secret behind
levitation and walking on waterReviewed by Asgeir Valur Sigurdsson, 2009-10-07
Chris Angel seems to have been accused to get his powers from Satan
himself.
But if Satan himself is supposed to be so much against mankind why
hasn't he destroyed most humans remaining on this planet at
present?
Anyway Chris Angel does have paranormal abilities and there is
nothing wrong with that. Anybody can have those abilities or train
them or master.
The trick of the mind thing about levitation is that all he does is
that he programs his body to operate in accordance with the
environment in a
manner which allows him to levitate. He must have learnt levitation
from another magician , at least he learnt most of the classic
magic tricks
from ordinary and extraordinary magicians he studied or knew. I
give this book one star because he dismisses phenomena he knows
exist , and
because he embraces a religious fringe cult which dismisses
paranormal phenomena because they know they exist.
But of course he is not attacking me or individual believers in
paranormal phenomena per ce.
Chris Angel is in constant contact with the people and that keeps
him from losing his mind and keep him staying firmly on his ground
with his both feet.
So why is Chris Angel dismissing paranormal phenomena and
performing feats which are seemingly paranormal? What he is REALLY
dismissing is silly nonsense
like when people say that he got his powers from 'the devil'. Chris
Angel is for real whether he likes it or not. He can really
levitate whether he likes
it or not , and he can really walk on water weather he likes it or
not. And if I took the time to train myself to become able to
perform the same feats
then I'd become able to perform those too but without any need to
be a Freemason like Harry Houdini. Often young boys or even girls
of similar mind as
Harry Houdini would enter a masonic hall and be told that they had
to ask the master mason to give them his power and that he got his
power from 'the devil'or
some other entity. The master mason then simply focused his mind on
the person to increase the person's intellect and psychic
abilities. And then gave the person
advise on all kinds of important chemicals and plants to eat. You
stupid people of this planet are removing those important plants
and chemicals from the soil
and thus threatening the ability of people like this to gain acess
to the chemical properties of their compound.
Every day a plant is removed from the soil which has important
chemical compounds which can help you to remove caner or enable you
to 'fly'or 'levitate', etc.
Those people knew and still know what they're doing today. There is
no difference. They have always known it and they have kept the
knowledge to themselves until this day. I would love to have a chat
with someone like this but he'd probably dismiss me publicly in
order to protect his secrets. I also give this book one star
because he performs feats which he says himself he can't perform.
It's simply that simple. It's about time that occult magicians
ceased being ashamed of their abilities or the intelligences that
have bestowed those abilities upon them. It is also about time that
performers of magic in the real world cease dismissing psychic
people and UFO enthusiasts and those interested in doing research
into the truth in general. There are some fantastic photos of the
man performing genuine psychic events and it's ridiculous and
laugheable to look at him attempt to debunk his own performances.
The 'psychic events'are made manifest by means of advanced mind
training and why the heck does he have to feel shameful in
acknowledging that? People like Chris Angel have always existed and
can perform all kinds of paranormal feats and them dismiss what
they perform and handle over to people 27 card tricks or 40 card
tricks and tell them 'yo this is how I levitate'without explaining
the actual levitation feats themselves. The good news is that these
people are in constant touch with their outside and inside
environment and they are in constant touch with the people in the
outside world. But the serious ones did not perform their abilities
to make tens of people say 'oh yeah! Go for it man!'but they would
usually not be noticed by more than 2 to 4 people.
Famous cases include 'kabbalists'who could levitate and do most of
the things Chris Angel does , and they'd be debunked by
organizations representing the government or some authority to keep
people distracted and prevent them from gaining knowledge about the
same activities. In almost all the Mindfreak shows , Chris Angel
never mentions UFO's or alien abductions , but paranormal events
per ce , and hails James Randi of all people who lost his
credibility after he had been put on investigation due to claims of
paedophilia. So basically what Chris Angel does , is the same thing
as James Randi and so many others - he performs paranormal events
and uses the opportunity for each event , to debunk genuine or
legitimate psychics or people who have had legitimate psychic
experiences , in an effort to silence them , by always referring to
belief in the paranormal as superstition per ce , etc. There are
many things I like very much about his character. For instance he's
not sending people into Iraq , Iran or Afghanistan to die. But
instead of explaining to us how the levitation thing works , he
gets around it by offering 40 card tricks which are really tricks
of cards but not so much 'feats of the mind'. I am thus not scared
of Chris Angel or amazed at his abilities or feats , what I am
disappointed by is why he behaves stupid by stating that things are
not real which are , especially in light of the fact that those
things are beyound our control.
The paranormal didn't vanish when the electricity came. The
paranormal simply got around electricity. It's as easy for a UFO to
levitate a car as it is for Chris Angel to levitate himself , and
it's about time other people started to stop being scared of people
like Chris Angel and learn how to do those things themselves.
I always tell my dad that there are countless examples of people
who rose back from the dead and who can walk on water and heal
themselves and read each others'mind distance to distance without
any wired connection whatsoever and he keeps telling me it's only a
supposed Jesus kind of Christ who can do something like that.
Chris Angel is not in contact with some Satan kind of dude , he's
just a man like most people on this planet are , and he's jost
doing his work. He's playing and he's having fun time and he has
every right to do so.
But he does not have a right to support an organization which wants
to shut up UFO enthusiasts which has attempted to make the US
Congress pass bills which are to get people into jail if they claim
they have had paranormal experiences and can't prove it. Aleister
Crowley was little known as the magician Chioa Khan , and he had no
need to belittle people who had had genuine , psychic experiences.
He just performed his own art of magic and just moved on to the
point he became a great painter as well and it helped him a great
deal to paint and do works of art whenever he felt bad. THE DEAD
WILL NOT BE SILENCED! And I LOVE the now famous and immortal
MINDNUMB criticism where it got said that he can make your money
disappear from your wallet!
MINDFREAK!Reviewed by Book Lady, 2009-10-06
This is a very comprehensive book about Criss Angel, and it's a must have if your a fan of his, or just want to get some fast info about him. The pics in the book are great, and so are the magic tricks in the back. The book is well written also. Totally disregard the 1 and 2 star ratings some people gave.
Obsession with MagicReviewed by Priscilla S. Hill, 2009-06-10
My 10 1/2 year old grandson is obsessed with magic and he devours books and computer lessons on magic. I got this book for him and he found it very exciting. Thus I give this book a high rating.
Criss Angel Secret Revelations BookReviewed by Mr. C. Grover, 2009-04-24
This book has lots of great photos and pictures of Criss Angel. There was a little about his life and 40 tricks anyone can do. Not alot of information about his 40 odds years of living and how he is able to levitate or preform amazing stunts. If you want information about Criss's life and how he does his tricks and stunts then you will be sorely disappointed.
