Chris Angel Pulls Woman Apart
|
After watching this video clip, I don’t have the slightest idea how he pulled this magic trick. The woman looked perfectly normal and Chris just pulled her apart! 1 videoclip of Chris Angel Pulling woman apart after the jump. |

Guys, come on. It’s just something cool to watch. He enjoys what he does. He’s good at it. Just leave the guy alone. Chris, great stuff man. Keep it coming.

the woman’s name is rosemarie siggins and she lives in colorado. she was born with only a half a body, hense why the woman was able to walk with her arms so perfectly. if you notice when she is crawling away you can see up her shirt and she has some kind of shit or something hanging. and on the other end that sits you it is covered as well with a black material. the woman made healines a few years ago when she gave birth to her son.
the only part that i question is the bottom half. i don’t thik that’s another person in there, that’s just dumb!
i am a huge fan of criss and i really don’t care how he did it. it’s entertaining and normal and intellagent would know it’s all fake but who cares it’s all fun, he’s not hurting anyone or anything. plus he’s really hot…AND I AM NOT A TEEN AGER SAYING THIS! HE’S STILL FUCKING HOT AND I WOULD FUCK HIM LIKE A MAD WOMAN!!!

you know i jsut have to say that criss is an entertainer. he gives hope to people and happiness. what is wrong with that. when a person sings they do the same thing, but if you ever go to a live concert the entertainer usually sounds shitty…right. thats because of the technology used in the studios to make the singer sound really good. but that person gives their fans hope and happiness. who care if you think he’s fake, he makes someone smile and laugh and go dam he’s hot. it’s the same way with mucisians and actors it’s all fake we know that but it makes us heppy so gives a fuck, i enjoyed it and i can’t get enough of his stunts!

April 9th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
Here’s the thing…i enjoy watching these tricks…but i hate arguing with people about them being “real”…if the first lady was to short for the girl to hold her arms…why didnt he have her hold the legs…instead of switching ladies???answer: the lady’s a prop…someone to help pull of his ILLUSION!!It’s not real…just fun.
April 23rd, 2007 at 12:22 am
Here is one of his tricks exposed - Too easy, I cant believe there are people believing he is a real warlock etc. I think its best to always do some homework before being made a fool of.

I have one word for this: entertainment.
This is a TV show created by people knowledged on how to make something interesting and hit the ratings. Criss is a great performer. No one can deny that. He has the ability of making his tricks believable, but that’s it. And he’s not alone. He is the one getting famous the most, but there is a BIG crew behind him bringing us this TV SHOW (as simple as that) every week. A lot of intelligent people more interested in making money than being in front of the camera. Here are my humble theories (theories, but I truly believe this is it)
-All those people are actors (sad but true). In this vid there are about 10 or so people. But what happens when he performs a more realistic trick like the one called “Burned Alive” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asSy5S381sE): there is a major crowd there. Of course! Because that one instead can be performed in front of a large audience at no risk. Why would he perform a way-cooler trick in front of ten people only? Because it’s all fake. I don’t know about you but i definitely consider a person being split a better trick to watch. I would have done in front of a million people if i could. This is all made to look real. What does it matter to pay 100 actors if the show is gonna be broadcasted to millions all over the world. It’s actually a cheap price for them and they buy their silence too. All in the name of entertainment.
-Can’t you see that we never get to see directly the face of the large woman before he splits her? That’s a different woman. They never shoot her near close. Not until she is switched by that famous legless woman who’s proud enough of her condition to take part in this (i dont blame her).
-The blond girl who’s interviewed afterwards: she is like the worst actress ever! See that at the beginning she is not shaking at all. She even looks calmed. But then she says “look !” and she clearly fakes a little shaking in her hands.
-The camera switching (this is hard to explain. experts would know what i’m talking about, or simply analyze the camera positions and switching: sometimes they don’t fit). And also, why didn’t they use the one-shoot footage they so proudly use for other simpler tricks that can be shoot in one take.
Anyways, there are lots of things. If you don’t agree with me that’s ok. All i know is that if i was being split apart i will try my best to stay close to my other half instead of… running away?
May 1st, 2007 at 10:45 am
For all the people looking to find an explanation to his tricks, there isnt one. Chris Angel is no magician, he’s demon possessed. I am abosutely sure of it.
May 6th, 2007 at 1:54 am
well that is just fake because that women came on the maury show and she was born like that a half women.So if you dont belive me watch maury.I do like criss angel but sometimes i think he just goes to far with his tricks because we all know some of them are humanly impossible. ok
May 8th, 2007 at 4:19 am
The woman in the “trick” is RoseMarie Siggins aka the woman with 1/2 a body. She has no legs. The bottom part is remote control, an easy movie trick. Plus, this is on TV, there is nothing “magical” about doing stuff on TV. Any one of us could do it, if we had our own TV show!
May 8th, 2007 at 10:32 am
ok people here’s the thing the lady that was pulled apart had prosthetic legs like some of you said and about the hand signal she gave, it was to a hot air balloon that remote controlled her legs to run off on their own. When Chris Angel levitates he has a very high tech machine that has a capacity to hold him up for fifteen to twenty minutes it’s very dangerous but it’s not real sorry; like the beginning of time no one can fly and no one ever will without the help of machinery. Some of the things that Criss Angel does are very real, but at the same time a lot of the stuff he does includes camera trickery and actors. Criss Angel is an illusionist who has studied psychology and knows how to trick the human mink notice the name “Mind Freak”
Seriously people if you want the answers go look things up it’s not that hard but find the info before casting some crazy judgment on the guy. In my personal opinion he’s a cool guy who simply wants to intertain
May 11th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
Hey Criss, I would like to say great job on the shows you have done, I appreciate all your work, and of how much time it must have taken you to do everything, you have inspired me to be an Illusionist such as yourself and can only hope to be on the same level as you!
*Christopher*
May 11th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
This is a comment to Crissy Jones, umm I would like to say that it is possible to fly without the proper use of machinery, where Criss Angel always says, Mind, Body, and Spirit, an average human uses approx. 9-10% of their brain, that is basic everyday work 10% academic students such as University 8-9% are your average college students. So what do we use our other 90% of our brain on ? if we can manage to use I am sure atleast up to 50% or even lower we could by far exceed any limitation we are set to now. *Christopher*
May 12th, 2007 at 8:18 am
There are abviously some things that break the physical barier between a trick and something real. For thousands of years people have been tricking others and performing superhuman feets wich men alone cannot do. For anyone who believes in God, the devil and the spiritual realm knows that those who practived cutious arts, western magic, sorcerers etc. are done by us the use of devil spirts. Not all tricks, but the ones that are real and physically impossibe, like many angel, and blaine do are by supernatural devil spirt power. The same as recorded in the bible and eastern cultures for centuries. I would think twice about what you accept as good fun and excitement. This coming from the devil, the author of death, is accepted without a thought by most. Not a level to aspire to!
May 14th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Criss walked on water, levitated, gor burned, Jesus stood on a large rock during high tide, in the sea to make it look like he was above the water, at Least Criss has it filmed on TV, where is the Jesus proof? on paper, I won’t take those writers of the bible’s word for it, Criss is amazing, (Spacevoyager said), you are a silly Christian-Jahovah’s witness, that think God is more powerful and shit, fuck that!, go to the south where Katrina Hit, thank God for his Powers of healing, you religious people don’t have a fucking clue, you won’t accept anyone with powers not of God or Jesus go fuck yourself lol
May 21st, 2007 at 4:05 am
I’d like to meet the top half of the girl he pulled apart. I just love legless women…
May 23rd, 2007 at 3:57 pm
I was curious about Criss Angel after viewing his show. I googled him and stumbled upon this site (big mistake!!) Ugh- I am WAY more terrified and SHOCKED by the people posting here, than I am of anything Criss Angel has done!!
People who give out their address or phone number!! How unsafe with all the lunatics out there! Don’t do that people-!! Some even say that you have kids -then go on to give your personal information, don’t you watch the news!! There are MANIACS on the internet!
People who think he is some demon or what not.
People who make rude comments. Or think he reads this stuff.
People (and many) who cannot spell and have terrible grammer. What happens at school these days!
Forget fear or suprise over Criss’s illusions- MY fear is all the uneducated, bizarre, naive, paranoid people out there!! It is frightening!!!!!!!!!!
Just look at the posts on this site!
He is a well paid entertainer- why are people writing “Hi Criss, I want you to visit me, I am your biggest fan…”
Oh please….HE IS NOT HERE reading this ridiculous site. He is out making $$$$$
Get it through your heads, he is a TV star, an entertainer- like any other actor . Even “reality TV” is not real!!!!
It is Hollywood people- Geez -
May 24th, 2007 at 5:57 am
no her name is not Rose Marie… it actually IS Emily. I went to high school with the girl and everything Angela said above is true. She has always used a wheelchair to get around.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
Chris Angel is a buster. People say he is cool even though they know he’s fake. That’s ignorant people talking. Yes while the show is entertainment-the entertainment is based on reality. Chris Angel isn’t making a fucking movie, or and episode of CSI. His show is supposed to be reality and it isn’t real at all. His entertainment is based on his tricks being real and amazing. People watch it because they want to believe he’s really doing it. When you know for a fact he’s fake it’s no longer entertaining at all, except maybe to poke fun at him. He isn’t even close to being a pioneer in any aspect and if you want to be like him then you want to be a sellout. Anybody who sells the secrets to his tricks has soldout, and anybody who pays people to act surprised is a fucking phony. The real magicians and illusionists can perform shit right in front of you and you will be surprised-genuinely. I think he’s a buster, and the only thing I respect him for is the fact he was able to parlay his bullshit into thousands of dollars in cold hard cash. He is not respected among his peers for his abilities to perform feats of magic. If you believe otherwise you are naive, gullible, and probably not too intelligent. But it’s not your fault-it could be drugs, genes, or mental retardation at any level.

I think what Criss did was amazing when I saw him pull that person apart I coudn’t belive what I
saw when it happened I was just sitting there with my mouth open and thought did that really happen.Criss I think you are the most unbelievable person in the world and I wish that you would come to where I live which is Prescott ,Arizona Willow Creek Road Nicholet Trail.I really hope I get to see you .
Love you Criss Angel
Sincerely Erinn
June 5th, 2007 at 7:31 am
Criss Angel, in my humble opinion is working with/for Satan. As “wonderous” as Criss Angels magic/illusions may be… they are purposefull in taking our eyes off the Prize, and that is Jesus Christ. Satan loves to pre-occupy us and keep busy with other things rather than what is the most important.
Take Criss Angel with a grain of salt. Enjoy his follies but at the same time, watch your backs!
June 5th, 2007 at 10:51 am
hey roach boy why dont u go fuck ur self cuz u sound like a homosexual……..i meen think about it u hav the name of roach boy so u no u gotta b gay or something
June 5th, 2007 at 10:58 am
plus all that t.v. proof and crap u talked about isnt real bud i know i hate to burst ur little bubble……..but its all stunts……….so feel free shut ur fucking mouth………
June 5th, 2007 at 11:39 am
chris angel is the best in the whole wide world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should see the old school illusions he used to do in high school!!!!!!!!!! i swear to you i seen him stuff an entire 30 pound turkey in his ass and piss out gravy and then he puked out the turkey in 1/16″ slices. he then had a young women with a yeast infection come on the stage and blew air in her pussy and then she queefed out a loaf of garlic bread and he made sandwiches for the entire audience after he toasted it with his laser farts!!!!!!!! but really if you want to see MAGIC go fucking look at the women on brutaldildos.com as they swallow massive synthetic leg sized dildos with the greatest of ease, now that is much more than chris stuffing that fat ass tom turkey up his gaping chasm of an anus that swallows planets.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
i am so mad that this FREAK fooled me! he has totally MINDfucked me! i would have rather been raped with a magic wand than have to endure anymore of his stupid trickery. im ruined for life. i wish i could also find that freakish cyborg lady with the electronic bottom half walking/rolling/limping..whatever…down the vegas strip and trip her with that damn trick wire/string he uses to “walk on water”
June 5th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
u were right hugh jazz i was totally mind fucked too. i saw him two days ago and he set every thing up, god i hate this show. he use to be me idle but now he’s nothing to me. i think i should kick that womans leg off. ha ha lets see her flote now………….
June 5th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
he is so fake, he does stunts not magic. i hear he buys all those people out so they can say oooooooooo, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
June 5th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
its all fake guys he pays the people and has a stunt double.
June 5th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Its really funny to me reading all the responses to this video. It amazes me actually how people are so sure they “know” how something is when really they guessing at best. How many times have we heard “Its gotta be midgets!!”
Frankly, I don’t have a clue about how he does it, but im not gonna just guess either. And whats all the anger about And all the name calling to other posters… what… are we in elementory school still? Seriously people I have to agree with the poster WAKE UP. Free speech is about allowing other views even if you disagree. As for him being in league with satan… C’mon people. Entertainment is what he does… and if it is “real” … do some research into quantum physics and you will quickly find that NOTHING is impossible like we have been taught. What once WAS magic, and impossible is now fast becoming our reality. Thats Hard Science… not mere opinion. As for whether Mr angel is really doing what it look like he’s doing… well thats the trick isnt it.?
June 6th, 2007 at 12:13 am
I first have to say CRISS IS AMAZING!!!! For all you people out there saying Criss is fake and all that STOP! I mean he may be fake but he’s never claimed to be real! He’s called MINDFREAK as in he does things just to entertain you! He does these tricks just to trick your mind! Now all you people saying Criss is evil and stuff, keep you opinions to yourself! Stop trying to force your beliefs on others! If we want to think he’s amazing we will and no one can stop us! If we decide to think he’s evil just like you then we’ll chose it on our own! We don’t need your help!
Criss you RULE!
June 6th, 2007 at 12:59 am
for those of you who think criss angel is a fake explain to me how my cousint walked inbetween his body when it was in 2 parts?????
June 6th, 2007 at 5:17 am
I was actually on the ’set’ of a Criss Angel stunt in Vegas. It’s the only time I’ve been there and the ‘offer’ was presented by the tour company that I had purchased my vacation from. Out of a bus of about 25 people, maybe 8 chose to join in the ‘live shoot.’
We gathered around and were ‘mysteriously’ joined by 6 or so other people which made our crowd out to be around 14 or 15.
I volunteered for the trick but wasn’t chosen. He did 2 tricks and both times used those from the other group that joined our group. Afterwards, several people wondered out loud whether we weren’t chosen on purpose.
I don’t know if it aired because I don’t watch the show. But I can say he was nice and genuine and signed autographs, etc. I don’t think anyone believes that magic is real but regardless, Criss is a great showman and was interesting to watch.
It strikes me as odd that someone HAS to point out that he didn’t really cut someone in half. If you’re an adult and you believe someone was cut in half, you have more problems than the woman who got ripped in two. (OR DID SHE?) It’s all in fun and suspension of disbelief. If you can do it better, take it and get your own show. Right? Make millions of dollars like this guy does and convince people that you ripped a woman in two.
Simple enough, right?
That’s what I suspected.
This is a show, this isn’t magic. He gets a half hour on television to put on his ’show’ and he does it in a way many others could not. So he gets no credit for really ripping a woman in half and some credit for being a remarkable street performer. Yay! End of debate!
June 6th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
he has to give it up and for thoes of u that think im wrong guess what im a memmber of one of the bars he proformed the stupid cell phone in the bottle trick.
June 6th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
One thing for sure, Chris Angel has a great imagination. He seems to always come up with new illusions; like the one where he levitates above the pyramid in Vegas. These are tricks and illusions done by an imaginative entertainer, not sorcery. I find it hard to believe some of you will not concede the guy has talent, and has used it to make quite an entertaining show. I am a Christian, but I am not about to insult anybody’s intelligence by claiming this guy is of Satan. Those of you that are Christians, who really believe he is the Anti-Christ, do not know your theology or your Bible very well. If Chris Angel starts speaking at the UN, and becomes the new Secretary General, then, maybe, you can worry. You are looking for demons in every corner, when you should be doing the work of Christ: helping the poor, those in need and the lost. On the other hand, guys like “roachboy” sadly show the other extreme in ignorance. Dude, I’ll pray for you, but you really do need to put the bong down and dry out for awhile. It seems the people that were actually there in Vegas to see his show, or who knew the legless girl personally are too rational for some of you. Let’s not make Chris Angel more, or less than what he really is: A very gifted, imaginative entertainer with an acute business sense and the knowhow to market it effectively. Peace.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
okay, you ppl need to give up. criss is simply awesome and does things some ppl dont usually do. some of his stiff is reall some of it is just an illusion. but heyy, he is making lots of money doing what he dose best.. and if you think its all a trick. prove it. i mean how dose he levitate. i mean…come on. lol. but i like the one..well its brand neww. where he deticates the levitating over the pyramid to his dad. now tht was sweet. =] and you guys should stop saying bad things cause i mean..he maybe playing tricks. but thts what his job is. and he does a great job of it. and his show is veryy interesting..now i am going to go watch it. =] peaceout.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:52 pm
btw…before i go in the beging of my last cmnt i said just give up. what i meant by tht is stop judgeing him at what you think he dose badly cause you can figure some of it out. DONT SPOIL IT FOR OTHER PPL. i mean he is. criss angle..mind freak. he also has an album to. so ..hes a great guy. =] buhbyeee.
=]
June 6th, 2007 at 3:03 pm
okayy, i acctually got to reading these and you are completely ruining it for me.
o please be quite. and another thingg. if there all paid ppl on the busyest street on LAS VEGAS you really think a random pedstrian isnt going to go look? its not like its a set. and also..not all of his stuff was fake. i mean it is what he loves to do. and he makes money and is really poppular for doing. and hes a caute. =] well ta ta…fornow =]
June 7th, 2007 at 2:30 am
youre a bunch of inconceivable fucks. grow the hell up. obviously you so called “religious” shit heads on here writing off judgement, shouldn’t watch the damn show anyways if you feel its so demonic or evil. seriously fuckers….the anti-christ??? from my understanding what my late grandmother used to teach me from the bible was that first, no man would know who the antichrist is until that point of time, second, who are you to judge anyways. its just a goddamned show. get the fuck over it. he’s an illusionist, you think he doesnt know that EVERYBODY knows its all a fucking illusion. HEELLLOO!!!
June 7th, 2007 at 2:33 am
anyways….criss angel….you rock, to pull shit off like that and cause people to sit and ponder over it is fucking awesome. you are the shit, youre hot, you know what the fuck youre doing, keep doing it/
June 7th, 2007 at 10:19 am
“criss angel”? who the FUCK is that. is he gay? is he gay? because the way you talk makes him soud gay as fuck. i mean ” criss angle rocks” what is that. u guys should suck on monkey balls and eat cum though your ears.
June 7th, 2007 at 10:37 am
u r so awsome i would like to know how to leavitate
June 7th, 2007 at 11:08 am
cris angel sucks and is a big ass fake, he really sucks and also, he sucks. what a lame ass faker,
June 8th, 2007 at 12:45 am
Some of you are right. It’s just a show. He is an “illusionist”. But to those who saw the “Luxor Light” levitating episode, I have to say that the escape attempt with Dog the ‘Booty Hunter’ was impressive also, even though he wasn’t entirely successful. Anybody that can hold their breath underwater for that long, while trying to escape from being tied up like that, gets my vote for “Entertainer of the Month”. Paris Hilton gets 2nd place for her successful jail escape.
I would bet your next paycheck that particular levitation trick was done with a hologram. Consider where it was done; the Luxor Light Pyramid already has some of the most sophisticated lighting equipment in the world throughout the complex; there is ample room in the top where the Xenon lights are housed for the equipment necessary to produce a 3D holographic image, and the technology has been around for years. Coincidently, Criss Angel has a production studio and merchandise store on premise, and he really does live in the penthouse beneath the light…hmmm, maybe the Paris Hilton escape was more impressive after all; seems she also has a video for sale somewhere…wait, what’s that sound I hear? Oh, it’s the sound of some Criss Angel fanatics bubbles bursting.
He’s a great entertainer, no more, no less. However he pulls this stuff off, is secondary. At least he has the imagination to do it. If some of you honestly think it’s real, I have some primo land for sale; Colorado Rockies, $2 an acre, and I’ll even ‘fly’ you out to see it.
Sweet dreams, chumps!
June 8th, 2007 at 4:38 am
ok u guys criss angel is pretty kool…no all u son of a bitches that say “oo criss angel is the devil” or “criss angel is fake” if u believe that then y r u on websites about criss angel….
June 8th, 2007 at 4:40 am
Hey criss i am a big fan of u and ur great and just keep up the great work and be careful. i am hoping i can meet u some time cuz it would be so awesome meeting some 1 that is just a great and really kool guy
June 8th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
To me an illusionist is one who can fool people “in person”. To use camera editing and a paid audience and claim it is real is just BS. As far as his pulling the woman in half illusion (actually, his pulling the woman in half movie), he uses two women. Just watch the video closely. The first tall girl has her hair pulled back covering her ears. Also, notice how her skirt is hanging down once she is laying down. The camera is turned off and the women are switched as he walks to her right side. Now her hair is not covering her ears. The skirt is hanging different. There is also a difference in the way her shirt is tucked in and her ankle size. The girl at her feet only holds on while the girl at the head end pulls the women with no lower body off the bench and sets her on the ground. Now I have no problem with any part of this except the actors and the fancy camera editing. He should be showing his TV shows on the SCI-FI channel or the cartoon network. All he is doing is harming the reputation of the “real” illusionists.
June 10th, 2007 at 12:47 pm
If you want to know how Chris did this trick then listen up because as a fellow magician, I will “spill the beans”. It’s all about editing. When we see “Emily” walking towards Chris, we only see her back because it’s NOT the same woman who gets pulled apart. There are NO artificial legs that work that well ladies and gentlemen. As it was said before, this lady, like hundreds of others across the world, was born with just a torso. When the camera cuts to her laying on the bench (and the camera cut is so very obvious), it is now the real half lady. When Chris asks her to put her hands up, she almost puts them up before he asks her. After she is pulled apart, the camera focuses in on her legs and her toes which are moving. This is not what the audience saw. This was a person who was concealed behind the black skirt. The audience actually saw an artificial bottom which probably did not move. Very simple. And by the way, to those christians who claim that Chris is of the devil, get a life!! I am a born again christian who practices magic because it is fun and entertaining…so get OVER IT!!!

soooo obvious this is fake. when he first puts the woman on the bech her long skift is on top of the bench and the next cut it’s draped over the sides of the bench, obscuring your view of what’s under the bench and the shadows of the sun btw the slats of the bench. he use a woman with that medical condition who has only half a torso for the top half and either a midget or a contortionist to do the feet in the cut after you see the skirt down over the sides of the bench.
and his steamroller stunt i saw tonight is so OBVIOUS. there is small trench dug into the asphalt right under where he lays his body, that’s why his hands are placed well to the wides and he keeps holding his torso off the concrete during the stunt, so you couldn’t see his body sink into the shallow trench around him. when you see his feet come out behind the steamroller you can CLEARLY see there is a depression his feet are coming out of at a slight angle. all he had to do was lay on glass, which every illusionist, glass walker (hell, brooke shields did it Circus of the Stars in the 80s) and yogi has done for a long, long time.
while his presentation is entertaining his “big stunts” are fake as hell. like when he had the hummer drive over him. it was so obvious that the front left tire of the hummer was on a ramp so only partial pressure was on him from the right tire, not very impressive.
he should stick to the slelight of hand card and table tricks, those are much more baffling and you can’t easily spot the fake. it’s when he does his “big” stunts and those involving obviously film cuts and staged audiences that he falls flat.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:59 am
and for the people who scream “relax and enjoy the illusion!” i would if the big tricks were executed a little less obviously and without the painfully clear cheap camera cuts that take away from the illusion. a lot of the time when he claims it’s a continuous camera shot there is still some misdirection like a split screen of 2 angles so you attention is divinded btw the 2 images or the camera jumps wildly.
like i said, his slight of hand, card, ball and cup, and coin tricks are infinitely more amazing and more inclined to make me impressed by his “magic” than the big stunts he does with a million cuts, effects, and cameras which can easily be edited to make them look more dangerous and magical than they are.
June 13th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Okz guyz and gurls Chris Angel is maybe not a magician but then again wen did he ever say he waz all he says he is is a mind freak who triks ur mind into thinkin u saw somethin wen it waz totally sumtin diffrent u just dont no it and for all u h8erz out there kalm down so we no sum are fake so he might be completly fake wats da point of exposin all of this we just wana have sum fun and say hahaha dat waz pretty kool and wow wunder how he did that so ppl plz just kalm down a bit and just enjoy the show:D
June 13th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
I just have a few questions…
If your body gets cut in half… Would you really run away from your other half? Do we all of a sudden know how to use our arms as legs to run away from it? Why was the girl that was holding the (half) lady so gentle in putting her down, then run away and freak out?
Hmmmmm…
June 14th, 2007 at 5:35 am
Why on earth do you even waste five minutes thinking about whether or not he can actually cut himself in half or cut another person in half. He makes a lot of money to entertain you and yes some of what he does is simply an illusion but he also does stunts. Can any of you lift a car or fly in the desert with hooks in your back. I doubt it. Can you hold up part of a hummer while lying on spikes. He’s the one making all the money and you just complain about how fake it is. Who cares if it’s fake he lives in the luxor hotel and has more cars then ten people combined what do you have?
June 14th, 2007 at 9:01 am
I do not disagree with you Penguins. All I’m trying to say is… He needs better screenwriters. He needs better consultants to suggest things that would make his stunts seem more real or more believable.
June 16th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
First off, it’s entertainment etc…yeah, I know. Congrats to him for doing well - I’m a magic fan myself. However, the issue isn’t so simply stated as: “is it real or not?’ (of course not) nor, “does that fact make him cool, legit, or worthy of respect, etc? (revealing the trick doesn’t discredit the magician)” Other magicians take issue with his work claiming it to be bad magic. That’s their beef. My argument is that such stunts 1) perpetuate the prevailing tendency of people to put faith and stock in image/illusion/bullshit over substance/reality/truth, and 2), it also works to depreciate people’s enthusiasm for true, natural wonders, etc. Do you take advantage of peoples’ willingness to believe or do you do work that empowers them? It may seem like a small matter, but it applies to everyday life and in issues that really matter - look at the state of public opinion toward science/medicine vs. religion/mysticism, look at the whole Bush administration - elected and ran on the public’s general credulity, etc. This an issue that can address such problems. Maybe the secrets of the illusions could be made more accessible and the art of the performance could then be appreciated more.
June 26th, 2007 at 5:04 am
The comments here are even better than this video clip. Some comments amaze me more than any magic acts - many comments also scare the hell out of me. These acts are entertainment; they are not magic, not supernatural, not evil. Angel even states it - stunts and illusion, especially technical illusion. And, these are NOT done impromptu. They are edited mini-movies - and just like any movie anymore, they’re filled with ’special effects’. Hint: the special effects are NOT real. I find no fault with these entertainers.. they entertain. They work hard and do a great job.
What scares the hell out of me is the tendency and willingness to “fall” for this stuff… to immediately discard critical thinking and accept sheer illusion. You all KNOW that a person cannot magically pull someone apart - you KNOW that. What you do NOT KNOW is what technical work, film editing, and what kind of controlled environment went into created this “illusion”. Your ignorance makes the trick work. HAHAHAHAHAH!

July 2nd, 2007 at 2:54 am
ok anyone who’s reading this go back up and notice the stupid pattern this debate is following. Theres couple dudes tellin everyone how they hate chris angel and how he’s a fake and what not and. Then a couple more dudes return it with their two cents on how people should just enjoy the show and shut up. and then (my personal favorite) the crazy ass religious nut who thinks C.A. is the anti christ and and uss the devil and shit. Why doesnt everyone think what they wanna think and not feel they have to tell the whole world about their opinion on chris angel?
July 3rd, 2007 at 3:48 pm
for the sake of people’s impression of America, please at least pretend that you know “magic” is actually just tricks that you can’t figure out. Any retard could do the EXACT same thing with a little practice. Why do you think magicians guard their secrets so closely? Because if they didn’t, no one would pay them any attention or money.
Is Criss good at his tricks? Yep. But he’s such a frickin’ tool that I can’t help but hate him. Just stun people, but don’t act like it’s REAL!
July 4th, 2007 at 8:50 am
man this guy is fucked up he is like christ him self.
July 7th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
This Criss Angel came up when my kids told me they found his magic on youtube. All opinions amount to nothing here…let’s get that straight. Its facts. Look into the mans history. Find out how he spends his free time. I cannot say for sure, as I do not know the man, his family, or friends. However, IMHO, There is a real spiritual factor here involved in these supernatural events. I know, I dabbled in magic. I thought it was GOOD, but little did I know at the time. I started out by doing little card tricks as a kid for attention. There are tricks, illusions, and magic tricks. I love the entertainment aspect, as do many of you. Criss is good at what he does. Is it illusion or demonic? You be the judge…but do some homework on the man’s history and allow me a minute to share… But from my experience (for what it’s worth), this is magic no one should ever mess with. I dabbled in telekenisis, pyscotronic power, hypnotism, witchcraft, and other magical stuffs not knowing it was linked to the occult or satanic/demonic power. I was hungry for fame and fortune and power. I had a rough childhood, and wanted to be in control. It all started by playing a simple board game called ‘OUIJA’. I am not telling anyone here to touch these things, and if you are in them, you can be set free only one way…by selling your soul to Jesus Christ. You think I am full of BS? That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. I know what I know, and you will know too if you give your life over to the Son of God. There is no other way out. I have seen tons of people set free from such demonic oppression. I have seen exorcisms, angel presences, and instant healing, plus tons of other amazing illusions (NOT!) Now that is supernatural! I met satan, played with his toys for a while, then one day told him I wanted nothing more to do with him, and that I was following the LORD. His power is mightier of course…who created Lucifer anyways before he fell? The devil, well, he was pissed to lose me, but since 1991, but I have peace within now, and no more demonic visitations in the night. I can rest easy knowing I can impact the lives of people for eternity. This is not my doing, but by the Spirit of God…Capital S & G!! I have been operating within a powers that are greater than satan could ever offer. If you are into supernatural stuff, make sure you have prayed to Jesus (or a Higher Power as you know HIM) , talked to a Bible believing pastor, or asked people who once dabbled in the darkside. I have been there…and unless the mercy and grace of God did not spare me, I would have sold out completely and been as far along in this stronghold of satan. Criss can be free. I pray for him, and hope other men and women of faith in Christ will also.
You can post a response to this, but I may not be back to this site to read it. IT IS NO COINCIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE ARRIVED HERE TO READ THIS. May God open the eyes of your understanding to comprehend this…those of you mixed up in the occult, and those of your spectating, bloggin, and offering opinions. ~”whatever life’s questions, Jesus has the answer”. God bless always….Will

Criss is an illusionist, an entertainer. There are many factors involved in performance. Accomplices, props, timing, misdirection, etc. His ability to utilize these things and execute seamlessly are the result of his dedication to the art. One cannot defy the law of physics, therefore danger is inherent in some of what he does. Holding his breath extended periods, escaping from shackles and ropes, or “levitating” could cost him his life. What distinguishes him from most other magicians is his willingness to put it all on the line, time after time. His approach to performing in the streets is innovative and he has successfully performed all of the great acts of the past, while pushing the envelop of today’s best. Of course it’s not “real”. He’s not conjuring demon’s to do his bidding, although that some people think so is a testament to his skill. He uses mind over matter to do what most will not try. He controls his fear and lives life to the fullest, something we can all learn from while we speculate from afar.

No, he’s not supernatural, though he’s trained his mind and body extensively. And I don’t know if his soul is in any more jeopardy than the rest of mankind. But he is innovative and driven to be the best, probably for his own father. For his ability, he will be in the books with Houdini, not his critics. He has conrol over fear and lives life to the fullest, most people do not.

Stop having midegts do magic tricks ur coccky
July 16th, 2007 at 9:30 am
Some of you people in here are complete morons. Chris Angel always states he has no supernatural powers and is a illusionist. Thats his job and he is excellent at it. The Christians in here who believe he is a demonist are misdirected. Have you ever seen a demonist levitate or vanish before your very eyes? Only magicians do these things not demonists. I believe in the Christian faith, however I know it is silly to believe these things. For all you haters in here who want to rag on Chris, why are you watching his show? His show is entertaining and its awesome for those who appreciate good magic. I don’t totally believe everyone who claim that they have been to a show, and he is all camera tricks. If he uses all camera tricks, well that’s the business of magic.
Chill out , relax and enjoy the show, its all entertainment folks.
July 18th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
Though I love him and his show and don’t want to point fingers at him.I do think that was a hired lady, and she probably already was missing her bottom half(many people are). And those legs were fake,or someone else’s.
He chose another girl first just so that he can make it seem ‘real’. But you know what? He never said it was.
So stop hating on him,cuz he did nothing wrong!! It’s all fun…so cheer up and have some fun!

July 18th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
i am emily and i have legs there real and he actually sawed me in half . . . .i was in shock and ran away on my arms it was just a reaction.so for all u people who think he is fake and the audience is under contract you are wrong ……and those people that say they know me at the top are just lying,i have no friends.by the way criss when u get a chance u think you could send my lower body back im typin on my torso right now.
July 19th, 2007 at 4:05 am

i am a huge fan of Criss and he pulls off the best ILLUSIONS and DEMONSTRATIONS anyone has ever done he tries to blur the line between reality and illusion and leaves you to decide wether its an illusion or real thats whats i so fun about MINDFREAK because it leaves you wondering day and night how the hell does he do that! he has the best relationships with his audience members and when he gets the reaction of wow!!! and how?!! that is true magic.
July 30th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Chris Angel is
GOD. And U R 2.
September 5th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Cris, You have done well. But, your hair and name are so “Hollywood”, and you seem to be a sellout. The juvenial mouth deal at the camera also expose your vulnerability. Be your real name and loose the black garb and silver. Then try to hold an audience,
Respectfully,
Rick
October 14th, 2007 at 6:11 am
If you watch closely at Cris’ right hand immediately after the woman gets pulled apart you can see that he bends the shell that is supposed to be her bottom half. It is probably some kind of empty plastic shell for the womans upper half to fit into so she can look like a whole woman.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
I THINK THAT IF IT IS MAGIC, THEN IT’S FROM THE DEVIL HIMSELF. BUT IF IT’S JUST AN ILLUSION, THEN HE IS DAMN GOOD AT IT. GOD I HOPE IT’S AN ILLUSION.
November 1st, 2007 at 10:13 am
Criss Angel is truly a disgrace to magicians. He uses his Hollywood budget to “perform” tricks when in actuality, this made for TV wanna-be (who most likely has an IQ lower than our current president) has never performed a real trick in his life. Anyone who cares to use their mind can discover the truth behind his tricks in an instant. Don’t believe me that they are fake? Let’s take the “pulling a woman apart trick: Look up the name Rose Siggins & see if she looks familiar. I’ll rest my case with that.
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:22 am
Chris Angel is just doing illusions, he’s not the devil, he’s just a person performing tricks. If anyone at all believes he’s actually walking on water or floating or sawing people in half, etc, you may have a mental illness (or too young to comprehend reality). If you’re older than 12 years old you should be able to know what he’s doing is fake,. If you’re in your 20s or 30s and believe it’s real, you should go to the doctor immediately because you may have something seriously wrong mentally. Please have yourself checked out, CAT scan, IQ test or something. You can really have something wrong, like a tumor. I’m just looking out for you, I’m not trying to be sarcastic or funny. Please go get checked out… for you and your family’s safety.
November 8th, 2007 at 3:39 am
i think that even if we know thta there are a lot of tricks around his work, he sure can entertain us with oustanding magical performances that are watched around the world
November 12th, 2007 at 7:41 am
The top half of that woman was on springer before, she was marrying a really tall guy. and she hopped around on her hands and started fights. guess its hard to find torsos
November 15th, 2007 at 12:49 am
Chris Angle maybe crazy but you have to give them props on the crazy tricks he plays. Man that guy is good I mean good he had me woundering how he did it.

…. Mr Segal you are the clear winner out of the endless list of morons here, posting their opinions about Mr. Angel, I am compelled to call you right now and let you know just how stupid you are, but I am sure you have changed your number after the many this is Criss Angel calls you must have gotten already. You sir are the winner of the moron award, congrats! But I must say.. the scariest thought is the fact there is an Al junior growing up in the world today. You sir, for all of mankind… please stop breeding. I can only imagine how stupid the wife must be. Maybe you can give her the award you have so rightfully won.
Moving right along… the next award, is the RETARD award, this award is given to the poster who has demonstrated outstanding ability in making people shake their heads, and the award goes to!

Chris Angel does things that are beyond the comprehension of the human mind. He does things in public view which do not allow for prop settings. His brother sometimes shows some very serious concerns because he knows that some of the things he does are supernaturally dangerous such as the levitation between buildings…However, if Chris wants to really put his powers of magic to good use and become the greatest magician in written human history, then he should work with the U.S.government in pinpointing either the precise or general locations of Mullah Omar , Dr. Zwarahiri, and Osama Bin Ladin so we can blow their asses sky high.
Dear Donald, as the poster below you stated, you are the stupidest person I have ever encountered in all my endless days on the internet… well nothing more can I add to this statement. Other than to give you the coveted retard award, you are the clear winner in this category, although this site has many to choose from, I have to say it was a close vote, but you sir are the winner, enjoy!
And now for a more light hearted award, this is the FUNNY award, I have to say there were quite a few to choose from, and I will post two of the more entertaining responses, this award is a tie! The first funny award goes to Roger That who had a response for someone named Manda..

What about the one where he takes a cell phone and a empty beer bottle and puts the cell phone inside the beer bottle and the girls mother calls while the phone is in the bottle? it boggles my mind. or the one where he swallows a quarter that a women wrote her name on and he brings it down his arm and cuts his arm and pushes the quarter out of the hole he cut and it has her name on it? someone must understand this magic!

How ’bout the one where he buries his mother in the desert and then lights the ground on fire and then puts spears into the sand and then pees on it?! Then, after 40 days he undigs her, and that bitch is knitting?! He’s amazing.
And the co winner of the funny award must go to:

June 5, 2007 @ 11:39 am
chris angel is the best in the whole wide world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should see the old school illusions he used to do in high school!!!!!!!!!! i swear to you i seen him stuff an entire 30 pound turkey in his ass and piss out gravy and then he puked out the turkey in 1/16″ slices. he then had a young women with a yeast infection come on the stage and blew air in her pussy and then she queefed out a loaf of garlic bread and he made sandwiches for the entire audience after he toasted it with his laser farts!!!!!!!! but really if you want to see MAGIC go fucking look at the women on brutaldildos.com as they swallow massive synthetic leg sized dildos with the greatest of ease, now that is much more than chris stuffing that fat ass tom turkey up his gaping chasm of an anus that swallows planets.
LMFAO… congrats to the winners of the funny awards. You made wasting 30 minutes of my life worthwhile! You made the non stop reading of the endless list of stupidity on this page most worthy indeed.
And now I’m sure some of you may want to know what your Demon thinks of Mr. Angel. I have nothing to say about him, if I was to debate whether what he does is real or not, I would enter my name on the endless list of retarded people here who actually think this is something worth debating, I came across this site and for some reason I was compelled to read, and read, and finally half way through I decided to compile the awards for your entertainment. So in summation, I feel the need to give you all the STFU award. But then again, demons such as myself would not be very entertained by the endless sea of human stupidity that lives on this wonderful planet called Earth.
oh p.s. … I’m the devil.
November 25th, 2007 at 6:21 pm
I know the backstory on this trick, alright? This woman that he pulls apart is an amputee. There is another woman, (A look-alike), that is paid to walk onto the stage for her, they cut the camera, replace her with the amputee, then the amputee gets “Pulled apart”, and dashes off into the blue. Dont be so quick to believe people. By the way, the audience is paid to go along with it, so dont give me the old “The audience woulda noticed!!!%$#”. I dont want to hear it.
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:43 am

He is fake, a fruad. Anyone who believes him as he says, now do you believe are fools. It’s so easy to make believe with camera’s and computers. I hope you dont get sucked in. This basterd is too rich for nothing
