The funny thing about these so-called “magicians”, is that they never even claim to do anything incredible and obviously impossible, something that shatters the laws of physics and is impossible to fake. Cris Angel never “levitates” miles off the ground, only a foot or so into the air. Interesting, isn’t it, how not a single one of these people supposedly imbued with special powers ever do anything with them besides turning on light-bulbs and floating inches off the ground. If he really has enough power to levitate, why not fly? Why not throw fireballs around? Why just do lame parlor tricks?
Of course, maybe he doesn’t really have the power to levitate and is creating an elaborate illusion, like every other magician who has done something “impossible”. That’s always a possibility.
