1.A lot of preparation is needed
2.you will need helpers
3.you will make a special glass (which will be explained)
4.You perform the trick!
5.you have to play with your camera,I will tell you how
Watch the video and it will give you everything, however if you still dont understand,move on to the next step.
Also watch "Win a bet with Cigarette"
Step 1: Helpers
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.
Step 2: The Glass
Before doing the trick,you will need to prepare the glass,cut it in such a way shown on the image below,then you will need a mechanism that enables someone to roll the glasss up and down from inside the shop.
So,this helper will roll up the glass when you are doing the misdirecetion,for example,taking off your shoes.When you are taking off the shoes,make sure you zoom the camera on the shoes so that your helper can do the dirty work behind those glass.He will push up the glass.By this time ,make sure your 2 other helper have already covered the region of the glass.
After that,you go inside the shop and simply pass through the paper,cause the glass is not there.
As soon as you get out of the paper completely,your helper in the shop have to pull down the glass fast enough so that it gets back to its original position.Now you can let your audience check the glass.
Step 3: The Signboard
The signboard is just there to create the illusion that the glass is always stationary.Actually,the signboard is not stick to the glass,instead,its mounted to the wall.See the picture.
Enjoy,please try this trick and impress your friends!

I'm a magician and I hate Criss Angel.
anybody with money can do what he does...
you just need to pay your public to fake surprise, and do a lot of camera editing.
nothing else.
that's not magic, that's bullshit.

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..

*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...

All magicians have used "slight of hand" or diversion to accomplish their "magic" Criss is just particularly good at what he does....

I just don't like how he is so vain about his magic.
