Okay Here is my thoughts on Criss Angel's "Cement Shoes." What I'm doing different about this time is, I'm actually writing this AS I watch it so that You can get my thoughts as it goes on ;)
The first Transpo was pretty sweet but Kinda obvious. But even though it was kinda obvious it was still great!
The Card Prediction was a VERY simple effect. When he was describing the effect he said you will select one and as he said that he would point to the Ace of Spades. So in our mind that tells us to pick The Ace of Spades. And not only that but if you ask anyone to name a card more than likely they will say that one ;)
The Water Floating Trick was INSANELY easy... the Masked Magician Revealed that one a Long time ago and I'm not going to. Just don't like how it was another "set up" illusion... Come on I want to see him doing magic for REAL PEOPLE not these set up effects with people who are in on it...
Great Stage Effect! Since I am a Stage magician I LOVE stage Magic! He Did a great job with it and I really enjoyed watching it!
The Final Effect! Cement Shoes!!!! Was under for 3 Min and 59 Sec! That's a long time to hold your breath! I know myself I can only hold it for about 1 min 20 sec without breathing... but then again I am not as in shape as he is lol There really is no "Trick" to what he did... it was a escape and thats it. So based on that it was pretty sweet.
Okay now the Cell phone Calling I did text in but I didn't get a call from him. I was thinking about the Number 5 since I am a male, Sports Car, and then Remote Control Car. Still no call... I will Edit this if I ever Do get a call! So if you see a Edit at the bottom then you know he called me ;)
Overall:
It wasn't bad BUT there was only a few tricks! I think there was like 5-6 actual magic tricks in the show! Thats not many in 1 hour! They need to stop doing so many interviews and replays and get more Tricks in the show! It's a Magic Show! Show us the Magic!
I am Malachi the Illusionist, See you on the other side!
