This is kind of Headscratching, guess you folks in the states know of him, I've only ever seen David Blaine, -didn't know of this guy.. (You may need Broadband to watch this video).
Ah yes, Mind Freak. Some of his magic is a wee bit cutting edge, but very interesting to watch for certain. What he does is take things to a new level by expanding on the same old tricks. Good stuff to watch.
He he, I like the guy in the store afterwards! He looked totally dumbstruck! "Mindfreak." Something we'll never get over here in the UK... David Blaine in his elevated box over the River Thames was funny though.
That guy in the store was in on it, I assure you. Look at his POV, he HAS to know how it was done, thus, was in on it. Also, notice the convenient "cut away" (even though he said not to) while he removed his shoes.
Yeah TJ for sure. I think probably everyone was in on it, cam tricks included. I've seen how Penn & Teller have done some of their illusions and they spare no expense, they made an articulated truck from foam rubber and then ran someone over with it for example. These kind of tricks do make interesting viewing though. How on earth did Copperfield fly in that box?? Guess we'll never know! [:)]
True enough K, that was probably one of the best illusions I have seen to date, although Chris Angel does walk down the side of a building (and up and down the walls in the arena he performs in), so that ranks up there. Notice though the levitation one ... there is a roof above him, so anything could be suspended to hold the small framed chikie up.
Derren Brown is so much better. Its not really magic, just Psychology, but if you ever get chance to see one of his shows, or specials, they are amazing. The Seance one was pretty good, but it was the religios belief one which was amazing.
Heres some clips of his mind control series that was on C4 in the UK a little while back. The one where he made this guy believe he was in a computer game was absolutely mind blowing.
The zombie computer game one has already been put up by real(i think) and you sceptics all dismissed it as fake. But the guy is amazing. I don't know where to find any videos though, sorry
