Levitation-in this illusion, Kriss Angel uses several strands of 100lb acrylic fish line to "levitate" him via a crane while wearing a bodysuit. Note that you never see more then 15' above him. Shot on digital video, covering up any light reflections is very easy. Also, what gives it away is the fact that he's motionless (probably scared to death of a malfunction.) If he were really that confident (and actually levitating,) he would pretend to fly or move about for dramatic impact. Walking on water - This time, he uses the usual ruses of a surprised audience (all confederates used to heighten viewer reaction) and, of all people, the cameraman in the water. There are two plexiglass platforms Angel steps on. As Angel steps, our crafty cameraman looks like he's angling for the shot but in reality he is repositiong the step, which is clearly visible in person but masked by the water when shot on video. These steps have a handle sticking out which permits the cameraman to move it without reaching (all underwater of course.) Keep in mind that all his stunts are carefully choreographed using passersby as "ruses" to heighten the effect and add legitimacy. He's a crafty cat, I mean, angel. Formerly Hipwrddude
