Criss Angel "Luxor Walk" - My Thoughts

Okay Well Here is my thoughts from Criss Angel's "Luxor Walk" I know this is a little behind schedule But here it is!

Overall I liked This Episode a WHOLE lot more than last weeks episode. He did effects that we can relate to and ones that the "average everyday magician" can do themselves. For Example He performed "Thread" By Wayne Houchin. Which this is the Second time he has performed it on TV.

About "Thread":
Well He performed it almost the exact same way he did when he was the Guest Host on WWE Raw. There was a girl with a piece of thread hanging on her clothes. (which doing it the same way both times SCREAMS STOOGE but more on that in a second.) So he performed it. I liked how it wasn't just THAT effect he did with that piece of thread. It was more of a routine which was a really good Idea. He then after pulled it out of his eye then made it to where it would come out of his friends stomach. That was very neat and I thought a great follow up effect for "Thread"

BUT! It was way to obvious that it was all staged. I mean the guy who he pulled it out of was acting funny and moving around and jumped the gun like he knew what was going on (and we all know that he did know lol) If you have a DVR And recorded it (or if its online) Watch the guys actions (the guy who pulls the thread out of his stomach) I mean it just screams out everything!

Now for the Girl who had the thread on her shirt. It's obvious that she was a Stooge because first off she had the thread on her shirt and secondly she pointed to the EXACT area that the thread would be pulled out of on the guy when criss said "point anywhere" she went straight for his side without even thinking about it.

The Person Levitation was pretty amazing. The one where he made the girl float from the chair that was in the water to over to him. That was really sweet and I really can't think of how that one is done. It did look a little funny on film but I don't know. It was still cool none the less.

The Person Vanish from the Forklift was also easy to figure out how it was done as well. Of course Since I am a magician I wont say how its done but lets just say it was easy. It was still a great illusion and one that im thinking about using (with a different context) in the future! (Thanks criss ;))

Now for what Your reading this for lol the Main Effect the Walk up the Side of the Luxor.

First off I thought it was funny that the first time he did something with the luxor they said that the light could burn your flesh and stuff like that and then when he did this they said that the sides of it were really hot (which they proved this time by using a thermometer) But I thought it was funny that at the end he was STANDING IN THE LIGHT and yet it had no effect on him lolol pretty funny but anyways back to the walk itself.

It was very similar to his walk up the wall he did before the only difference here is that it was on a 40 degree incline instead of 90 degrees.

The only difference about this one is that its a Night (which im sure is done for both the method and because the walls are so hot... i mean i wouldnt wanna do a walk like that during the day if its so hot lol) There was some shots that was kinda hard to see because of the lighting and so forth. One thing that was cool was how he gave cameras to people staying there at the luxor to film from the inside. I thought that was a nice (different) touch to add in.

Overall I have no idea how he performed it and I thought it was performed well. I really don't have any complaints about this episode! So Bravo Criss for uping the game and for making something better than last week! (lol which really wasn't that hard to do)

Anyways If you read all this then you are a true Fan so thanks a lot!
