Hey Guys,
Any thoughts on (a) whether this is actually "street magic" performed in the middle of a normal Frisbee session or just edited to appear this way and (b) how it could be done street style (or where to get info on that)? http://youtube.com/watch?v=jSf6FQ273gQ Thanks, -Ananda

I doubt he needs edits for this one.
(a)A lot of Criss' magic is stage magic adapted for outdoor presentations. Having said that, (b)I don't believe you can do this "street style" in public.

Have you ever played with a Frisbee? When you miss it does it land a few feet behind you (and off camera for Criss, wow lucky!)? Or does it float 10 feet away and then roll even further?

I'm not saying edits weren't used. That's common to main continuity for television. What I was basically saying that this did not necessarily require the use of "camera tricks" to accomplish.

If you've seen the movie "Ed Wood" and remember the scene re-creating the shooting of the flying saucers for "Plan 9" you have your answer.

Good point, Joey.
Dave: I understand what you mean. The red shirt seems fishy, but that doesn't necessarily tell us anything about the magic. Is that a serious suggestion, Randwill? ( I have not seen the movie.) Thanks, -Ananda.

I'm pretty sure the way that the saucers are shown being suspended in "Ed Wood" is how they shot that scene for "Mindfreak", so no, you couldn't do it that way as a street performer. It's a TV only trick.

Thanks, Randwill. I'll put my thinking cap back on...

Well almost none of what Criss does could be done real live situation street style. With few exceptions.

What is 'street style'?

Steve I meant actual "busking" but not sure how many would actually know what I meant.
You know, street performing prior to David Blaine.

In fact if you did a POLE, eh, poll, you'd find most people are against exposure. That's certainly my feeling anyway. I'm not sure if the Café rules apply to things on television that appear to be, what we traditionally call 'magic tricks' but really aren't, so I'll err on the side of caution. |

Randwill,
That's REEL cautious of you, indeed. I know I'll never guess what you might have meant. Best, -Ananda.

I to Really wish people stop Fishing. Lines about Criss Angel and editing are too many and drive me up the Pole. I rather Set Up my VCR and watch the 3 Stooges. May take the take the dog for a walk in the PARK.
