Wow.. thats amazing. Just need to wait for that secrets revealed show (forget what it's called exactly) to see how that was done.

Chriss (yeah, 2 S's) is meant to be a really nice guy, but his tricks aren't that awesome. The levitation trick is something anybody can do in about a minute.

You need to be looking at it from the right angle, with the right light, holding your head in just the right position, etc, etc... if you look at him face on while he's doing that stunt, you'll just see a guy standing on one leg, on the tips of his toes. He just doesn't do anything really flash, a lot like David Blane.

Blane didn't do anything extraordinary either, really basic card tricks mostly, but he knew how to make it look good on television.

That masked magician bloke (on the secrets revealed type of shows) is a bit of a chump too

That one always looks impressive - Blane does another version of the same trick which is an adptation of an older design. Although this version with the full body coming out is pretty cool.

I could tell you how it's done but that would ruin the awe of it. Just sit back and enjoy, that's the best way

I'll tell - because its not that exciting.

It's a sliding glass window pane .. check out how the open sign is attached to the window frame rather than the window itself.

well i see no movement in the light reflecting of the window. So i dont see how this is possible. Also that thing about levitating with one foot thing has been blown outta the water coz chris angel does it different. He does it from all angles he can move onto chair and he does it alot higher than david blane did. U can actually see both his shoes off the floor.
