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

just admit hes agreat magician but its not real
wel he loooks cool but have a doubt whthter he s just faking around o something????
He simply walked on something like glass and there were some gaps there to let the girl passes normally. That's it. No magic. All techniques.
that was amazing
Hey chris have they seen you call down lightning out of the sky yet??
those 2 guys are here on this planet at the moment that are even scarier than you chris!'
What I find hilarious about this is these docile people think you're a magician……the great scorcerer as predicted.
guys watch the movie Magic Biggest Secrets Braking the Magic codes…. it helps you to know that human can not create miracles God as we call the universe is capable of miracles and a lot more of what
Look at 0.24 seconds. that part where he steps you can clearly tell he's being supported by somthing, its as if he hovers a bit
STOP SWEARING UR GUYS BUTTS OFF! Seriously, u guys made that a habbit now 2 u, it is just like regular words! am i right? I kno im typing a lot. srry!
ok and Varun better be quiet about Jesus. He never would have been an illusionist! You need to stop being half Christian and half black magic person! Yes i know he is a vaery good illusionist, and btw, it wont make any sense if there was a mirror! Did u see any reflections? It is hard to tell what the illusion here is, and the person who wrote that doesnt make any sense either.
U person have something against Criss Angel. He is truly amazing! Plus, where is the trick of climbing out of a 6-foot burried coffin- thats locked? Where is the trick when he jumped the Grand Canyon and landed in the cage?
Where is the trick when he went in the water and unlocked from chains and chizzled and hammered out of cement shoes? He does do things that are unexplainable. He was proven better than Houdini, who was claimed to be the best magician in the world! He really is a MINDFREAK!
God, can NO ONE on this site speak proper English? Damn. It's like i'm in Soviet Russia!
i had to read some peoples comments over and over again trying to make it make sense.
About point #5: If you watch closely, the girl did NOT swim between his legs. She moved AROUND the outside of his right leg as he stepped over the left side of her head.
however he is still genius…
this whole thing is a crap… its all about camera angles and special equipment… while the spectators are being paid for whole this crap tricks…. in this trick a special mirror is placed underneath water,… while girl swims under the mirror. he walks on mirror.
Well actually Joe, I've known Travis since middle school and he's always been an absolutely amazing magician. Who the fuck are you anyway dude? What do you do? Travis is a reputable source and if anyone could figure this shit out I'd trust him. I've seen him perform some absolutely mind boggling tricks!!…and Criss Angel dresses like a douche bag to distract you from what's really going on….oh and "his" fruity bird trick is old news…and his levitation trick is done with magnetic shoes and a fake 3rd leg…oh did I mention Criss Angel's a douche bag? I man shit dudes, he spells his name Criss for cryin out loud, what's wrong with Chris? haha No worries Travis, I got yr back! BTW Joe, using the word retard as an insult is unacceptable!! What an asshole!
everyone watch his step from .23seconds in to .26seconds.. a small three second gap most might not notice.. since you all are so intrigued by his stupid illusions.. now tell me if that is a natural movement or not..
Nice trick, shame its not real.
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.
Jake u dumb ass, Im an Atheist and all it means is u dont beleive in anything religiously! so before you start dissin peoples way of beleivin maybe u should get ur damn facts straight!
Criss Angel wore shoes back he walked on baptize beyond one breadth of a pond pool. One carper swam beneath the baptize to see how Criss Angel absolved on water.

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.
jesus is a story ,there is no jesus .Varun only idiots believe jesus ,god….. etc
read the Hopkins book THE GRAND DESIGN he's great scientist and say you NO GOD EXIST
