Step 1Helpers

The helpers will be the one who will hold the paper to block the glass(as seen in criss angel tv show mindfreak)

The purpose of blocking the glass is because,you dont want to reveal whats behind the paper,its where all the trick is

Make sure they hold tight and really pull it from the side,making sure they leave a space by the side for viewers to see that the glass is still there.

I don't think so! I saw a show of magic's biggest secrets finally revealed and the trick was explained EXACTLY the same way you did! I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I don't beleive you so much. Please reply to me if I'm wrong.

the word illusionist simply put is to make the impossible seem real and that is what criss does. Illusionists put a lot of effort into thier work and everyone criticises the tricks that they can figure out, but what about the many that they cant. I would like to c people that criticise him do some of the tricks that criss does and come out alive. Let him do his work and do what he loves the best. What next r u going to criticise street performers who do magic as well. They do it to make a living so does criss..

have you noticed the very NICE living that chris makes street preformers are luckey if they walk away with 30 bucks yes we are going to critisize someone that makes millions tricking people if we can figure out the trick and isnt that what magic is all about trying to figure out how they did it

*Sigh* Now take a piece of paper and tape it to the glass touching nothing but the glass just like Angel.

"HEY! WHY IS THE PAPER MOVING UP AND DOWN?"

Now all you have to do is figure out how he really did it. XD
What he did was not a simple penetration frame.

Chriss is a Rockers Clown, he locks a small and it's easy to pass in a little hole. In anyway is a illusionist not a magician. Remeber the people around him in his videos are his workers, with some money make a fake face of admiration. jojojo. Thanks to open some eyes...

Chris angel doesn't suck. He's an illusionists, he makes things look impossible. So don't say he sucks.

All magicians have used "slight of hand" or diversion to accomplish their "magic" Criss is just particularly good at what he does....
Dec 15, 2007. 4:45 PMhidethecake says:
I just don't like how he is so vain about his magic.
Mar 30, 2008. 12:16 AMRishnai says:
I think of his magic like professional wrestling: we all know it's not real, but it's one hell of a fun, over-the-top show.
Dec 17, 2007. 1:44 PMJohn Smith says:
I agree.
Dec 17, 2007. 3:29 PMhidethecake says:

Interesting! Good job figuring that out!
Jul 14, 2007. 2:24 PMfrollard says:
That's cool, but the one I liked best was when he reached through an aquarium, to grab something from the inside. there was no seam for the glass to break apart to get his arm in there.

That's not Criss Angel.

I wanna know how they did THIS trick. Perhaps a little window with ground edges, with a tape hinge or something, where the water pressure holds it shut when it's not in use? If they used really thick glass you could get enough of a miter on the edges to seal it fairly well. Very cool. I've put those discs in my queue!
Jul 16, 2007. 4:43 PMfrollard says:
at 1:50 in that video, it could be a video cut to make that happen, but after, theres the glass trick...
Nov 7, 2007. 6:38 PMJames (pseudo-geek) says:
explain this then!
Sep 23, 2007. 3:32 AMJames (pseudo-geek) says:
cool instructable, but I'm not going to even look at it. this is my favorite magic trick and I don't even want to know how its done.
Aug 31, 2007. 3:41 PMvitozilla says:
i like the one where he is at a jewelry store and pushes a quarter through a glass case. no idea how he does it though. nice recreation of the scene though.
Jul 16, 2007. 3:44 PMMr.Cire says:
wouldn't those assistants feel the glass going up though?
Jul 14, 2007. 11:44 PMstevoIution says:
Chris Angel is a useless hack.

David Blaine used a variant of this illusion in one of his specials to reach through glass and get a person's watch.
