Hey, how did he do that?

Criss Angel, the new icon in the illusion world. A man with many tricks up his sleeve, and the one question that he leaves among his many fans is...how did he do that? I mean just recently this guy was on the Oprah Winfrey show doing random things, one of which was beating Houdini's record of how fast he could escape from a straight jacket while suspended upside down in the air. Well, of course, Angel did end up beating Houdini's record as well as doing other things on Oprah's talk show.

One of his other stunts, or tricks, or illusions, or whatever you want to call them was when he took a knife and faced it upright on a table. He then asked an audience member to come up to the stage and place the knife under 1 of 4 styrofoam cups as he turned away. When she was done he turned around and began to smash his hands down on the styrofoam cups and remarkably he did not stab his own hand! Lucky or supernatural?

One of the last stunts he did while on the Oprah show was telling Oprah herself to write a number down on a piece of paper and to show the audience what the number was that she chose. He had no clue what it was but from from her 'body languauge' he was able to figure out what number she chose! If this doesn't spark any interest maybe catch an episode of his show and see him walk on water, make people disappear an reappear, or rip up newspaper, put it all together in his hands and somehow the newspaper is in one piece again.

These things can't be possible right, right?
