Criss Angel Walks on Water Magic Tricks

Criss Angel born Christopher N. Sarantakos is an American musician, magician, illusionist, escapologist, stunt performer, and the creator and director of the Criss Angel Mindfreak television series on A&E Network. Now he is trying to simulate and replay what Jesus Christ did more than 2000 years ago, by walking on water, in a magic and illusion performance that’s stunning.

What’s the secret of Criss Angel walks on water magic trick? How he does it? The secret will most likely points to illusion and camera video editing. The most convincing explaination to the trick is that Criss Angel was walking on some kind of floating device, or plexiglass, or transparent plastic bridge, or glass path, or vertical poles, which may have some gaps for swimmers to occasionally swin across it. Some also suggested that wires support was been used to hang him, which may be positioned under his arm, especially on the first 25 seconds or so. For all these tricks and optical illusion to happen, so all the ‘audiences’ and ’swimmers’ in the vidoe are actually the actors in the magic that were hired to add realistic and believable feel. The video may be edited by using CGI to hide the think platform in the water.

Some even suggested that the shots were taken on different times that is edited together to give you that illusion of reality. The theory is that because at some times he demonstrated no weight hitting the surface, while on the far away shots, his weight is visible as he hits a surface. Another theory is that the toes on his back foot bend as walking on a flat surface, while on another sequence of the video which supposedly shot from Criss Angel’s camera as he looks down while walking, his toes no longer bend.

Some interesting points highlighted from the video on the magic are:

  1. Criss Angel walked on his heels and his pant hung down and covered the heels.
  2. His walking style looks unreal and unnatural on the front part of the magic.
  3. The girl in red bikini swam underneath the water instead of crossing the path.
  4. Water line on his pants changed, if you believe that the magic sequence was shot in multiple times.
  5. A girl crossed between his legs after he took down his shoes, so the area may be without any platform.
  6. In some shots, Criss Angel didn’t show weight hitting or weight shifting when stepped down, which made suspension possible.
  7. His feet seemed like not stay in a position when stepping.

    Television illusionists are sad little puppies, but not as sad as the idiots who are amazed at video special effects. Editing and sub par acting by his entourage… nothing more, nothing less. It makes for boring television.

    I will tell you all skeptics one thing and one thing only. Till the day you actually see him in action you will continue doubting him and purporting theories about how fake he is. And then one day if you are lucky you will bump into his act in Vegas and see for yourself what he does and then you will still question it. The thing is that most people know he is an illusionist and what he does is not real. However no one can deny that he is a truly gifted illusionist and probably even a mass hypnotist. To suggest things like everyone’s an actor and the whole thing is setup showcases a limited imagination. Just admit that certain things can’t be deciphered and will have no explanation that WE can figure out. He is human alright but a tremendously gifted one. Has anyone ever wondered if Jesus himself was an illusionist? A descendant from the Order of the Magi.

    Plexiglass, occultism, demonology, illusionism…all possible thoeries. Here’s one for you, He sold his soul. I mean, is that really so far out of bounds? I used to think he was simply a great illusionist until I saw one of his shows. Of course the show seemed fake. That’s not what I’m talkiing about. This was after the show as he’s just strolling on the beach and he decides to sit in midair. I could plainly see the sand under him and it’s not like you can’t tell if something clear is in sand. but he just sat down. not for a show or anything, almost like he wanted to sit and not on the sand I reiterate my poit, he sold his soul and now knows something the rest of us don’t.

    What about using aerogels? They are super light and basically invisible. This would make it possible for him to do the trick publicly in any water and be far more impressive than if he only did it in set locations with a lot of prep time. Look aerogels up and you will see that those could work.

    Is it possible that he has some kind of demons working under his command? like king Solomon for example?
    Some research I made years ago revealed to me that the KGB tried to make demons work for it. The project was a failure because demons didn’t obey the KGB special agents 100%

    All these theories may work for this video but if you watch the other videos where he walked on top of an aquarium or the one where he crossed the lake. in the lake video someone actually swam straight in front of him and touched his foot and nothing was there, i thought of the glass box theory too. now my mind is stumped so go watch those videos and then come up with a theory cuz i have no clue

    It’s not an illusion when it is done with camera tricks, its called trick photography. And when the audience is acutally actors in on the trick its call lying, (deception) I saw a video from the 1930’s of a 30 ft. gorilla on top of the empire state building was that an illusion also, or do we call that make believe?

    I read somewere that Criss Angel himself even said that there is no such thing as magic. Everything he does is an illusion. The plain and simple thing about it is, everything he does, is an illusion, and he has the best illusions out there.

    I love the innocents that you guys have, there is a part of me that’s really pleased that some of you are trusting enough to actually believe he is walking on water! There is something beautiful in that! I know some of you think he’s some sort of mystic being and does have special magic powers that he’s not telling us about. Remember, the smartest thing the devil ever did was to convince the world he doesn’t exist. However, I am sorry to say that I think it’s hilarious that you idiots are gullible enough to believe him!! He is an illusionist!!!! One of you please go and look up the term “illusion” in the dictionary. It does make me wonder how you people remember to breath your so stupid!!!!

    Ever consider that he might actually be walking on water????

    Criss constantly makes mention of mysticism’s for a reason…Maybe, he, being an initiate of probably some super secret esoteric order, knows something along the lines of “magic” and “occult” that isnt acknowledged by the outside world….Of course he claims he has no such powers, but Maybe he just says that to mislead….Maybe that adds the touch to the whole “mind freak” theme of the show…He’ll make you think of something different.

    Maybe its his mind, and not any wires/camera angles/actors that does the freaking????

    Seems like a rather plausible idea…Certainly to anyone who knows anything of these subjects. And, i dont know, im sorta reticent to dismiss everything he does by claiming everyone whos ever seen or been affected by his magic is a hired actor…

    take this into consideration

    look at the very end where he is about to take the step out of the pool

    he puts his foot down like he was going to take one last step, then realizing there wasn’t a platform there, so he just took the longer step on the cement

    did anyone notice that or is it just me?

    Okay..here goes. Each step lands him on an individual small clear platform which is mounted to the bottom of the pool. The “actors” swimming around are for show and cameras only. He can identify the placement of each platform because each is marked with something he can clearly see through the glasses he always wears while “walking” on water. Can he do it without the glasses???

    If anyone would actually read the article, and not take offense to it right off the back, you would see not once, does he “diss” Criss Angel, or lower the credit that he proudly deserves. All he is doing is explaining his own personal thoughts on how the “illusion” was performed, heaven forbid that some of us have brain stems, and would like to know how such things happen. No doubt Criss Angel walking on water was an amazing illusion, it took time effort and loyality just to be able to pull it off, I give him tons of credit just for that, because me nor any of YOU have the determination. And, then he actually went through with it. Guts.
    But come on, planes look amazing in the air, and so Criss when he walks on water, or other numerous tricks that honestly do blow my mind. But, when did we start discouraging people to wonder?
    It’s pathetic if you’re throwing out insults for someone who just wanted to find out “how”.

    If you notice, before he steps in the water his pants are already wet. Also, he takes bigger steps at different intervals as to step over some sort of gap. Any how this is still an awsome illusion, that’s what magic is.

    criss is undoubtedly a great performer.this for me is what sets him above the rest. He is taking the art of illusion and making it exciting to a new generation. all intelligent humans realise that its not real. Some intelligent people watch ‘professional’ wrestling. its the same thing. its showman ship. I would like to see criss mix in some real slight of hand tricks without a preselected audience. the real tricks are the ones that can baffle your eyes. tv makes it too easy. i dont believe criss has any special powers, but i am sitting watching him now and am truly entertained.

    Have you noticed that at the end of the walk, he steps on the surface of the water directly in front of the edge of the concrete side of the pool? But if you look closely, his foot will sink slightly, and he’ll lift it up, and change position so that that same foot is on the concrete. BINGO!

    Guys My uncle is Criss Angel. He is an illusionist!Int he walk on water thing he didnt use special shoes that look like his feet. he learned how to walk on a wire for this trick and with the water it makes it easier to balance. There is a few platforms though. They are small sqyares floating under the water. this is used if he starts to get wobbly and needs support. So there is no such thing as magic and most of his tricks are all fake. (the audience is in on it) Hope that cleared things up. OH AND I AM HIS NEPHEW IM NOT JUST SOME GUY SAYING I AM CUZ THATS RETARTED!!!!

    i my self do a lot of magic and in this trick there is no platform under neath criss it is simply his shoes and i no that u say he takes OFF his shoes but that is the trick… the shoes that he takes off are simply just a throw off… what appear to be his feet are actaully the real shoes. its a special scientificly designed shoe that creates and allows u to literally walk on water… its hard to explain it but its real… he just had them designed by professionals to make them look exactly like his real feet…

    hey if you look closely right after his shoe falls off you can see him steping on some sort of platform. zoom in if you need to but thats how he did it. either floating platforms or platforms touching the floor but platforms none the lessTRICK REVEALED. GOOD ILLUSION THOUGH

She blows out air bubbles. Notice the the air bubble don’t make it to the surface. They stop right under his feet. He must be walking on clear glass or plastic.

    by the way… the scene with the girl in the red swimsuit swimming beneath him is one of the shots where hs is dangling from something above supporting his weight so there is no need for a weght bearing structure beneath the water for that shot. so, sory collin, since you are with the crew, it’s obviously your job to perpetuate the illusion, but you also know how fake it is. (it’s actually one of his worst illusions, it’s transparent as hell, even on tv)

    ok first he fills the pool with a bunch of actors. it’s hard to tell that they are actors but there are 2 dead givaways that the people in the pool are actors. 1. he comments that it’s really cold and he can’t believe that people are in the pool. well duh, you paid them to be there. 2. a girl is playing with a BEACH BALL!! when was the last time you saw anyone with a beach ball? let alone a grown woman? ok so it’s an obvious prop, giving away the obvious setup-ness of the illusion. after that, the rest is easy, some water colored or translucent structure just beneath the surface of the water to bear his weight, edited together with some scenes of him dangling (obviously hanging from something) over water but obviously not actually putting his weight down. voila! bad illusion!!

    I have the utmost respect for Criss’s magic. I’m guesing it took a lot of hard work and practice to perform this one. Maybe a tiny little dot painted on the top of each post. There are several known materials with the same index of refraction as water that would make them invisible under water. Simple, but elegant illusion. Criss…you are the best

    I am somewhat sadend at the fact there are people out there the truly believe that this stuff is real, and think he truly walked on water, walked through glass, seperated bodies, and so on. Then find it impossible that Jesus existed and did things, FOR REAL. Chis Angel, should say at the beginning of his show that this is all an illusion, he is very good at what he does, and only does it for entertainment, if it were real, he would be helping people rather then just making them amazing with how he did it.

    C’MON PEOPLE! IT’S OKAY TO GO AHEAD AND APPRECIATE WHAT CRISS DOES, BUT PLEASE DON’T TELL ME THAT YOU THINK HE CAN ACTUALLY FLOAT ON WATER. HE IS A RICH MAN WHO PAYS PEOPLE TO PRETEND THEIR BAFFLED. IT’S LIKE FILMING A MOVIE– YOU DON’T THINK DANIEL CRAIG IS REALLY A SECRET ANGENT, OR THAT HE KILLED ANYONE. WHY THEN DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT CRISS DOES IS REAL? ANGEL IS ENTERTAINING, AND NOTHING MORE.

    Criss Angel CLEARLY cannot actually walk on water, get sawed in half, or make an elephant actually disappear, but at the same time you cannot say that he’s fake. He is a magician/illusionist, that’s all there is to it. He is an entertainer. He does not have superpowers. However, he is still an absolutely incredible magician, one of the best there has ever been. I believe that his tricks are not achieved through camera tricks, and i also believe that it is all done for a live audience. Criss has been doing magic for a long long time, and I think that he would be too proud as a magician to use camera tricks, because through that, absolutely anything is possible, there isnt even really a trick there.
    bottome line is, Criss Angel is an incredible magician, and his stuff is as real as magic tricks can be.

    convincing explaination to the trick is that Criss Angel was walking on some kind of floating device, or plexiglass, or transparent plastic bridge, or glass path, or vertical poles, which may have some gaps for swimmers to occasionally swin across it. Some also suggested that wires support was been used to hang him, which may be positioned under his arm, especially on the first 25 seconds or so. For all these tricks and optical illusion to happen, so all the ‘audiences’ and ’swimmers’ in the vidoe are actually the actors in the magic that were hired to add realistic and believable feel. The video may be edited by using CGI to hide the think platform in the water.

    ok if you people who think this isn’t true magic i found a flaw for you… whoever said that “The girl in red bikini swam underneath the water instead of crossing the path” well also note that her bubbles came right up out of the water without hitting the “platform”…

    you make me giggle…

    All right, you cought us. We think that Chris is fake, so, OBVIOUSLY, we are simply jelous of his gorgeousness, and his “talent”.

    But really, water isn’t dense enough to suppors his weight, especially if it’s consentrated on his two feet.

    This is magic, people. It’s fake. It’s used to amuse the public! If you discovered that, one day, you could levitate, walk on water, get sawed in half, etc, would you make some TV show?

    Number 1, I have nothing to say to you.

    Number 2, see above.

    Number 3, damn bots…

    Number 4, Good for you. Oh, look! I just made a quarter appear out of my cousin’s ear! I’m just like Mind Freak! OMGWTFBBQ!!!11one

    Number 5, Wow… Just, wow. You fail at life.

    Number 6, …I wish I understood your language so I could prove you wrong.

    Number 7, I completely agree with you.

    Se necesita ser muy ingenuo como para creer que lo que realiza Chris Angel es auténtica magia o algo por el estilo. Sin embargo, tengo que reconocer que sus videos son bastante sugestivos y pueden causar mucha impresión. Me gustaría verlo en vivo y en directo porque creo que el asunto sería diferente. Es un magnífico ilusionista pero no como para ser tratado casi de manera reverencial como lo hacen sus incindicionales seguidores. Por lo demás, me seguiré divirtiendo con sus ilusiones.
