sathorCriss Angel is wicked.
I have to go see one of those stage performances...they're so surreal...
I don't understand certain things however...like last night on Sci Fi they showed him defying gravity out of nowhere on a street corner...walking up a wall...he says some of his stuff is part of the body/spirit/mind connection and some is illusion...
I don't think it's possible to create an invisible illusion out in the middle of a populated street corner where someone could walk over and start walking up the wall.
Maybe i'm wrong though.
If he really can levitate and defy gravity why doesn't he go see that one guy in (london, i think?) that will pay a million dollars to anyone who can proove something that doesn't have a scientific basis? (psychokinetics, pyrokinetics, cryokinetics, ect.)
Many questions asked.
He's probably already so rich he doesn't care and he doesn't want the world to ever figure out what's illusion and what's not.
Though there seems to be this trend, even in legends, that the master never teaches everything he knows to the student. If he let people know things were possible, then wouldn't that sacrifice his ability to make people stare in awe...why sacrifice your place with power while the rest of the world is left powerless...those people with power and unwilling to share it are fools...
Anyway, i've probably thought about this way too much.
Blessed be all. Hope you had a great samhain.
