The magic ís in the illusion, but not in what's actually happening... I'm biased perhaps, but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as real magic. (not that we would notice if we saw it btw. but still)

As for people saying Criss Angel does fake stuff, well yeah people shouldn't say 'ow, but it's fake' all the time perhaps or try to 'solve it'.

I agree, however, there are also people who think that Criss can really fly, walk on water and so on. I also think some people don't quite see how something fake can be impressive, it's just a trick after all. I tend to agree a bit with that too, however even the easier tricks are quite difficult to pull off in front of a crowd or outside.

Personally I don't quite understand how people can think any of this could be real, but probably it's just because you can do some realllllly impressive things by using illusions, suggestion tricks and technology.

I've seen a lot of extremely impressive things already, some of which are really mind blowing. You can find a lot of them on youtube or other video sites. Everything from chopping in someone else's arm with a big blade complete with blood and 'wound'... gets 'healed' again by putting a newspaper on it.
People tend to wonder if the lady that got the blade in her arm was in on it or not. If she was in on it then she's a very good actress... same goes for the girl that gets pulled in half here too, she's very convincing making it heavy indeed!
