He is the GOAT. One of the few people in the world I want to meet.

Magicians used to levitate on the streets back in my day now they're vomiting frogs.

Also, at one point Chris Angel was the face of this magic shyt. How did he and David switch places?

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm suprised he's not dead yet.

 

[Remote]

It's the whole thing.
His stuff is weird. But he's got this creepy personality and look and way of talking.

Like, how was this guy NOT cast as Willy Wonka or some shyt?

[O.T.I.S.]

Well... I wasn't expecting that at all

I think a lot of that is part of the act, he probably laughs to himself thinking about how freaked out people get by him.

He's one of my favorite magicians and the weirdness adds to it. He does more than the magic, like testing his body with the endurance stuff being buried alive, frozen, electrocuted, submerged in water, isolated in the glass box., etc. But he's still doing the illusions and magic that got him popular.

To me he's way more versatile than Chris Angel and obviously has more staying power, he's been around since the 90s and people still get blown away by his magic. It's great stuff, I like his whole act.

The weirdness is part of the presentation like how Penn and Teller do their routine and mix in comedy. The Amazing Jonathan mixed in comedy with his act too.

 

[Stir Fry]

?uestlove looking incredulous

 

[Shadow]

His weirdness is how he gets reactions like this when he does the tricks. People sometimes get kind of spooked and freaked out by him, it's great to watch.

You tryna tell me Mind Freak wasn't lit? That Criss Angel didn't bring a whole new flavor to magic?
