Criss Angel - Mind Freak

[Pamela Vicik-Smith]

Is anyone here familiar with Criss Angel and his TV show Mind Freak?

I have always known who he is and have seen a few bits of some of his shows or performances. But I have not really had the occasion to watch him since I became more "evolved" (for lack of a better word).

Over the weekend, I was at my nail salon getting a mani/pedi and they had on one of his shows. This is the first time I have really watched and paid attention to what he was doing.

It so happened the show was about levitation. I have to say, it was rather impressive. So much so, that over the weekend, I downloaded his Season One episodes from NetFlix and watched most of them.

I have since done a little research and I have found that on YouTube he shows how he does some of his levitation stunts. However, there are many he does not show.

Additionally, also in Season One, he does this stunt where he literally goes thru glass without it breaking. His entire body goes thru a plate glass window (in a controlled manner, not crashing thru) and when he is on the other side, the glass is whole. It made me think of ME. I know that is one of the things one can do with ME, go thru "solid" objects and surfaces.

Anyway, I want to know your thoughts. Do you think he is a student of ME and other advanced thinking or do you think everything he does is just an illusion?

I have my opinion, but I want to wait to read everyone else's before I say what I think.

If anyone happens to belong to NetFlix, you can download Season One and watch it on your computer for free. The other seasons you have rent on DVD.

He is awesome, isn't he? I haven't watched all the episodes, but I do like Criss Angel. I don't know how he does his stunts and they are definitely doable with all the magic stuff we know is ready and available at our fingertips.

But I do know a little about David Copperfield's stunts (I had a friend who toured with him for a couple years) and his stuff is all computer engineered - special effects stuff. Not sure if Criss's is the same but I would think for a tv show-type thing it would be more computer/special effects oriented than ME or Quantum physics.... maybe? Maybe not?

I once tried to tune into him for a friend who likes him and got that some of what he is able to do is coming from something like internal martial arts. Then I saw him on Oprah doing a trick where he gets out of a straitjacket while hanging upside down over the audience, and I saw his breathing, and I thought yeah, there it is. He's altering his state of consciousness.

So my opinion is that he uses a bunch of different techniques. Some are energetic and others aren't.

Hi Lama ~

Levitation is when someone or some thing floats in mid-air without touching the ground or other surfaces.

Hi Pammie!

I love Criss... he is truly amazing. I have only a limited knowledge of ME so far so I can't comment with certainty about ME specifically, but I definitely believe that he is using martial arts, some form of ME, and certainly utilizing energetic techniques to achieve what he does.

What an amazinglife he has! Whenever I watch one of his shows, he is an inspiration to me in that he reminds me that there are no limits, only limits to what I believe.

for positng another reminder for me!
