Did Criss Angel sell his soul?
"Considering how easy it is for modern illusionists in a rational age who declare themselves to be illusionists, to cause people to suspect real magic, just imagine how easy it was in ancient times when everyone believed in magic anyway, for simple magicians to be regarded as sons of gods."
It's funny that you say that. I've heard interviews with magicians like James Randi and Banachek (both illusionists dedicated to educating the public and exposing frauds) where they've said that once they explain how frauds like Uri Geller preform their tricks and provide demonstrations as proof, there's always someone in the audience who insists that their demonstration was real magic. Even after walking them through the trick step-by-step, there's always the true believer who insists that their explanation was just subterfuge meant to keep people from discovering their powers.

He admits that what he does are illusions. He even has a relationship with James Randi, and will occasionally expose frauds claiming to have magical/psychic powers.
He is a very clever illusionist and showman. He is wonderful to watch, but a bit too melodramatic. But I still like him.
(NO he didn't)
I always assumed that myself? I have seen him rip people in half and they live How do you explain that besides for devils magic?
