I just watched Chris Angel's live stunt where he is supposed to escape from a building set to explode in 4 minutes. And he's all tied up and the doors leading to his escape are locked so he has to pick the locks. And they way it happened was easily the most fake and cheesy stunt I have ever seen. He only has 4 minutes to get out, he has trouble with the VERY last lock and time runs out while he's picking the VERY last lock (to build tension presumably). The building blows up while he is SUPPOSEDLY still inside. But when a camera man approached the 45 tonnes of collapsed building there is Chris and he's all like "YAAAAA!". Then he pretends to be all tired and stuff. Even the narrator of the show says many times throughout that there is no way anything could suvive if it were inside the building. The thing that bothers me the most is there will always be people saying "ZOMG Bert! How did he do that!?" Well I'll tell you. All the camera's showing his escape "live" were showing pre-recorded footage of him running through the building that they taped eariler. During the transition from the cam outside the building to the one inside there was a slight pause. This was when Chris ducked out, left the building, and covered himself in dust to make it look like he got dirty from the explosion. The truth is this was probly just a regular demolition and Chris heard about it and came up with an idea that would make him look like a crappy magician and allow him lie to his fans at the very same time. What a homo

Happens all the time with a lot of so-called magicians, escape artists, etc

He has admitted it isn't magic. He admits he is just an illusionist. I agree it wasn't his best stunt but it was still pretty cool. I think some of the smaller stuff is a lot more exciting than his walking on water or escaping exploding buildings.

I guess he just didn't do a good job hiding himself to complete his trick.
