…In magic.

The most popular illusionist and escapist of all time would be Harry Houdini because he was the very first to try acts which require him to free himself from jails, handcuffs, chains, ropes, and straitjackets, often while hanging from a rope in plain sight of street audiences.

Admittedly even though all kinds of magician’s secrets are revealed on television and print there will always be that mystery to them. Nicholas Sarantakos better known as Criss Angel best known for starring in his own television show, Criss Angel Mindfreak is on a league of his own and may as well be the next Harry Houdini or better.

Angel, an American illusionist, musician, escapologist, stunt performer, and actor is set to appear at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas to perform his most notable illusions which include walking on water, levitating, floating between two buildings, causing a Lamborghini to disappear, surviving in an exploding C4 Crate, cutting himself in half and getting run over by a steamroller while lying stomach down on a bed of glass.

I am such a non-believer of magic and such but watching performances of our modern illusionist like Criss Angel make me think otherwise. There is certainly fascination and awe on my part especially when objects or the people are lifted off the ground!
