criss angel & david blaine

for those who wouldnt happen to know who criss angel is, he is also a magician/weirdo like david blaine is... but way better i belive.
tonight was the night that david blaine got out of the fish bowl after 7 days and trying to hold his breath for 9 minutes, but only did 7:08.
i really realized tonight, the type of meditation it really must take in order to actually do all of the things david blaine has done. he must be projecting his mind to whole nother dimension.
im wondering tonight, if in fact he might have over shot how long he could hold his breath on purpose, this way pushing his conciousness as close to "the light" type deal as possible?
criss angel has got a gig called mind freak... and boy does he ever do that!
the dude like really floats. heh. hes a total weirdo and i thin hes the coolest.
he has to be able to do some serious meditation, and tap unseen powers to do what he does. they both do really.
its quite amazing how far some humans will push their body and mind.

Levitation is a fact that I'm still undecided on. I'm not sure whether it's metaphysically possible or not yet.
As for Chris Angel and other magicians I'm pretty sure that they're levitation is a trick. He even says that it's a trick I think somewhere but he'll never tell anyone how it's done. Just the fact that someones a magician should be reason enoug for you not to believe anything they do.
I'm more interested in people who have been tested by governments and scientists and have not been proven as a Fraud such as Russia's Nina Kulagina. See here for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysical_levitation

I think that they are illusionist and their magic is like "special effects" in a movie. They are professionals and the only psychological/physical part involved is their ability to have way more control than anyone I have ever met. The fact their can slow down their breathing, heart rate, and mind is crazy. Their magic is just an illusions, but that stuff is cool!

David Blaine is an illusionist and little more.
His "endurance acts" are somewhat admirable but could be done by a lot of people if given the motivation. For example, offer a million dollars to anyone who can live in a pool for 7 days and you'll likely have a tond of people achieve it.
Records should be in the Guinness book, not grouped with "magic"

Magic is natural, magic is all around us. People get all caught up in words.... The ability to control your mind to the degree that people like David Blaine does is magic. The ability to manipulate the perceptions of other people is also magic.
Beyond this illusion of solidity, we are magical beings. We all hold the ability to accomplish great feats, some of us are just more in-tune then others. Much of what holds you back is your self defeating thought processes.

It is on one of his videos... I don't remember what one, when I was very interested in it, I watched all the ones I could find - The possibility of an ally being involved is one of the things I picked up on...

Oh is that the dude with the long hair? I saw a clip of that show from the Sci-Fi network. That clip was so incredibly fake it wasn't even funny. It was a fake arm dude. The people standing around were actors. Take a closer look at when the camera angle changes. None of that's real.

Yeah I don't think that Chris angel guy is very honest. I saw him push down a tree someone else "picked" It was the only tree that looked different from the rest, it also didn't have roots...

i think both david blaine and criss are very in-touch with the mystical side of life.
i find it very interesting that david blaine said he has an "ally being"
quite interesting indeed.
there is much more to this life than we can ever begin to understand.
