Doesn't he know, there is a Cosmic rule that you can't use your powers to win the lottery. You can only use them to make $20 an hour in a strip mall in Hokoben, or on a basic cable tv show.
There is a cosmic rule that it’s all frequencies and the frequency/brain state of being identified with ego will not produce mystical experiences or psychic phenomena, it is a different more dream like state where information can be plucked from. I’ve never done it on purpose only comes when not being controlled by ego.
@@mattk8810 huh? One, Steve-O isn't trying to help him. He's just caught up in wishful thinking like so many other suckers that fall for the bullshit. Two, Criss always was up front that none of what he did is real. Don't really know what you're on about to be honest.
@@brian4180 well that was his quality, *a regular dude doing magic* That was the right marketing, but once we found it *everything was EDITING & actors* He can’t put himself with David Blaine. It’s foul
That's because demons hold a carrot in front of them and bring them into a downward spiral, while they are in denial and believe if they burn some sage then it's just good spirits around them for no reason giving them pointers
"Magic is the only honest profession. A magician promises to deceive you, and then they do. And, when the shows over, you go home with everything, your watch, wallet, appendix... everything!"
When his show first started, I left Chris a voice message asking about shows and private shows, and he actually called back and left a message. Was pretty cool of him to personally reach out and leave a message.
Really cool to see this side of Chris. I like that he’s trying to explain that entertainment and parlor tricks are just that, entertainment, and that when people start using that to profit off people that are in a vulnerable time in life, he’s not ok with that and has no problem voicing it for everyone to know. 👏🏼
He always has. We magicians have a long proud history of exposing these monsters. Some of the worst predators. Not to mention they're using the tricks we use and aren't very good at them, and that bugs us on a personal level as well LOL.
@@sowaveysuyat I refer you to my above comment....magicians have been exposing the frauds since Houdini. Cris quite publicly exposed a "psychic" when he was judge of a magic competition on TV, during the height of his career. Magicians NEVER claim its real.
I completely agree with you, but i have to disagree with criss slightly, i cant blame him for having the opinion he has, you wouldn’t even take psychic ability seriously unless you actually experienced an unexplainable situation firsthand. and i have, a lady i never met in person predicted in detail all the women i would date or sleep with including details about them, breast size, hair length, colors, names etc. timelines, car models etc. bumper stickers too. and even my career choice. i lost all contact with her shortly after that but literally everything she said was true and things about my past were true as well. Things iv never told anyone. and also she was not profiting from me either. it was a friendly conversation. When this occurred i went on a mission collecting data and seeing psychics and in the hundreds of people i met only 3 have been legit. Knowing things that were impossible and predicted things that came true in exact specific detail. Now… this only makes it more offensive to me when scammers lie to people and scam them because i know real psychics do exist and it makes finding one a real hassle when 98 percent of them are liars or thieves. one thing i have noticed about the real ones is that they typically really want to help people and arent always expecting money. Tip for you there.
@sowaveysuyat if it was before he were famous how would we know? It's kinda like whether or not one hand in an empty forest makes a sound. No one will know but the person clapping.
Even if nobody reads this, I can absolutely tell you with no hesitation and years of experience, that politics, pro wrestling, the music business, and magicianship are all the exact same business with different nuances.
Nah he had a cringey show to be fair , but he did what he did because he’s a performer but he def came across super fake / cringey . I always knew it was an act but I get it lol
Yeah dumb people fall for the psychic shit and just like Chriss wisely said, "they only remember what they want to." They don't remember the line of questioning that led up to the psychics "assumption" or all of the things they guessed wrong. It's like paranormal enthusiasts or conspiracy theorists (not saying they don't exist/some aren't real) if you WANT to believe so badly, you will find ways to convince yourself. The mind is a helluva drug.
Yea the real "magic" is using cold reading to influence the individual sovereign into a perspective where they have inspiration fuel to achieve there goals nothing more. The lay out of the system are the "sacred" parts.
She also employed hot reading. There was a lot of pre-show she employed for her live shows. When you bought tickets for her show they had your full name and address. They would do all kinds of background on people who were going to be at the show. Then on the way into the show there were cards you would fill out with your name and who you wanted to contact. It's like taking candy from a baby.
The last conclusion on Crisses path is nihilism. Some can live relatively on and off happy as nihilists. Most can't. Also, he and others like him are caught in the confirmation bias game just like the people they mock or despise. They have their set belief and look for explanations to confirm it. I'm skeptic which means I don't have a firm belief one way or the other and take nobody on any sides of fences at face value. I let time pass and see the complexities unfold. Skepticism requires open mind and so I have talked with some people with 'abilities'. Some parts I can't say one way or the other, some I reject, some have turned out as remarkably true, like finding a micro needle in a hay stack concerning me and my life. And Crisses explanations do not apply at all to those instances. I can't stress it enough, these explanations don't work in what I have experienced. So, nihilists be nihilists and continue searching confirmation to their ready and final set of convictions. But that is not me.
it's because he knows with reasonable certainty. while yeah there totally COULD be a real psychic (keeping a purely open mind), it's the very fact that literally every single psychic presentation you'll find under the sun operates on the same methods of vaguely obscure readings, to the point that the prediction must come true at some point in time. this vague reading leads victims of the psychic to mentally keep an eye out for the vague things the psychic suggested, giving the effect that when they do finally see something which they feel is what the psychic suggested, it leads the person to believe that the psychic knew it was going to happen, when they had absolutely no idea.
Because that's called being stubborn. Hes not a real magic trick kind of guy so why would he shit all over himself knowing hes not real and that his tricks where all camera tricks lol
I bet if you switched criss Angel and dauve Blaine they both would different perspectives. One only believes in parlor tricks when the other actually tries to make magic happen.
@@Bakedea87 you call curious resistance to a questionable story stubborn? it is actually the exact opposite. it would be stubborn to automatically assume things are all true based on peoples word alone. there is the option of 1. lying (obviously unlikely in SteveO's case, he's an honest G), or 2. not all the information is known, and this is where Criss began explaining the high likelihood of "pre-show" information collection that they can present later in a seemingly magical way. if you want to see a good example of this, watch James Randi's debunking of Peter Popovs faith healing church, where he records them collecting addresses and personal information about people in the pre-show before they record the miraculous reveal of all that collected information via radio on live tv. Criss Angel does know a lot of real magic tricks, he said in the podcast he was more a generalized type who never specialized in anything, but knew about it all in the most general sense.
Psychics are really the biggest PoS people. They make profit off other people's tragedies and shock... they make their mental stability and process of moving on sooo much harder...
The Bible says “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 AND: Jesus answered, “I’m the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 I pray you make your eternal destiny secure through Jesus right now. It sure beats burning in Hell forever. Ask Him into your heart and to save you right now, you’ll be glad you did.
@@danielb.1567get out of here with that Bible bull crap, make-believe bull crap. People who created the Bible are the same pieces of crap, or else they wouldn't charge for it
On the reverse of that, people go to psychics because they are struggling mentally and lost. A good psychic would help someone get over a lost loved one by telling them to let that person go, which is something a grieving person might need to hear. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a good psychic because they are all in it for money, not to help anyone, and they are scammers by definition since they don't actually have psychic powers.
"Nope! He couldn't be the murderer, the psychic kid said he chops off people's right hands, these are all chopped off LEFT hands. Sorry to bother you sir, we will be on our way."
This was hard to watch the entire time. Ray Liotta's looking ass acting hostile about a question that he asked in the beginning. Steve-O's shit-eating grin of doubt. Chris Angel dismantled it pretty well though.
I was not a criss angel fan before this interview. But hearing his path crossing with James Randi's and that he wants to continue debunking them made me gain so much respect for him.
@@JP-in4zqLol, I think you need help reading. The first sentence of that person's post is literally "I was not a criss angel fan before this interview." Interview. INTERVIEW. They called it an interview. You're the only one here calling this a debunk. Room temp IQ.
James Randi himself was a con artist. He took money given to him for that prize ( it was not his own money ), put it in a bank, drew the interest off of it for his own purposes, and created a charity so he didn't have to pay taxes. He might have presented himself as a "truther", but he was also running a con. No different than a church.
I am so happy the sellout segment didnt have audio cause everytime it usually blasts in my ears and scares the fuck outta me for no reason lmao. wayyyyyyyyyyyy better
I remember seeing Chris angel before he was famous and he did a trick where he had the gold fish in a small fish tank and he was able to get it out without sticking his hand in, it blew my mind, I couldn’t wrap my head around it, it cool to see his way of life very neat
Houdini had a passion for debunking psychic mediums and occult seances for being pure illusion so Chris doing the same thing is actually a tradition of master illusion ists
I don’t find the ideas incongruent. The fun of magicians is trying to understand how they did it, not actually believing that they are performing magic.
Wow you finally had someone I was interested in listening to! Of course Steve-o butts in to talk about Houdini’s when he has a literally expert on Houdini next to him. Keep grasping at those straws Steve-o
One day my ex-girlfriend went to a Psychic and the crazy woman had my ex convinced that I was cheating on her and she believed it for the rest of our relationship, and would always accuse me. That was beginning of the end of our relationship, it seriously drove me away from her that she would believe someone she never met over someone who loved, cared for, and devoted my life to. It also drove me to my own suspicions of her cheating me, and that maybe she’s feeling guilty of something and that’s why she’s always accusing me. At end of the day it’s bunch of bs and a gimmick for your money….
Criss angel is a smart dude . He accomplished much imo . Time to relax and enjoy family time . Sunday family day , family meal , hopefully everyone’s happy , lol .
Chris Angel is honestly one of the nicest and realest magicians out there. Fully admits it’s all tricks; but is great enough to fool you and show you wonder. I respect him and I’m very grateful for this podcast. He’s a great man. Wow…..thanks stev-o!!
Chris Angel is great. He was always my favorite magician during the 00s heyday, and seeing all the great interviews in more recent years and seeing/hearing how grounded he is just makes me like him even more. Can’t wait for the full episode!
grounded is the best way to describe him. What an arc haha. Once TV magicians stopped being treated like rockstars, Chris Angel reverted to a normal human, and David Blaine lost his goddamn mind. David Blaine pretends like he's drifting between planes of existence in ordinary conversation, its just a card trick Dave. The man should be locked up, he can have a deck of cards, and an endless stream of participants who will lie about what their card was while he does sleight of hand until he can do no more.
Nah. He looks like that "Fake Happy" smile people put on when they are getting triggered but trying to be polite and change topic as quick as possible, like he tried to do at the very end.
Years ago I was buying some food from a street front restaurant off a busy main street, and I heard sirens and watched multiple fire trucks rush past the restaurant. I decided to go outside and see what the commotion was about and here I'm watching a Tarot Psychic Card reading store fully ablaze.. I thought this is the literal definition of Irony.
I remember as a kid watching Criss Angel's show with my friends. We mostly laughed it off and could easily pick apart how he did his tricks, but we kept coming back anyway because Criss just seemed like such a cool guy. Glad to know my childhood intuition was right on the money with this guy.
Criss and some of his crew from The Supernaturalists are good friends of mine. Whenever they came to Foxwoods, we would always hang out in the after party’s. Watching every one just going back and forth with magic tricks was everything I’ve ever wanted to be a part of lol. Banacheck was so respectful and just acts like a real friend. I’ll never forget the time I asked, what they all thought about a personal experience I had with astral projection. Almost in synchrony they relied “BULL shit”.. lol
That was awesome. Great explanation of cold reading--a lot of people leave out the fact that it is still a skill because it involves honing in on the 'hits' I've been a skeptic since I saw Randi's show on PBS as a kid. The modern world needs to be taught about critical thinking big time, cause it effects all of our futures wit6h political BS etc.
It's easy to be skeptical when you're young. It's even easier still to dismiss the mainstream "psychics." But when you live long enough to have personally encountered supernatural stuff, you can't ever shake the "but maybe??" again
@@saulspeaks2557 I was gullible when I was young. It took decades for me to shake off religious indoctrination. I have had 'odd' personal experiences too, but that is exactly why learning to think critically is important. Because if you know something about the psychology of magic, you know how easy it is for your senses to fool you. Science eliminates that personal bias--which is why science is responsible for all the progress of our species, and your "personally encountered stuff" is responsible for nothing but foolishness and dead ends. For example, say you saw a ghost. Do you believe it was a ghost because you saw it, and experienced it? If your answer is yes, you don't understand how skepticism works and why it is important. Since there is zero objective evidence for ghosts, the far more likely explanation is that your senses fooled you, or that something fooled your senses. Admitting that to yourself is tough, because it is hard to deny the truth of your own experience, but it is the smarter thing to do. Because if you validate personal experience as truth, anything goes. People blow up buildings because they were 100% convinced that god or a demon told them to. They were wrong. You are wrong. Learn about confirmation bias. Learn to question your own beliefs.
My favorite Wild Ride clip of ALL TIME!! I have such a hard time stopping relatives from giving their $$$ to mediums and psychics. I'd rather go see a Criss Angel show in Vegas!!
my mom thinks mind readers are real. it blows my mind. she has for as long as i can remember and no matter what i say she still waste money on that shit
That was the most polite way of saying all of these people are scam artists and full of it. He’s always been a well spoken person. I used to watch him all the time growing up. I’m not in to magic anymore, but he still seems to be the same guy he was when I stopped watching years ago. Which I can appreciate.
accidentally stumbled upon James cable access show “Psychic Powers Live!” (Still on YT here) such a good program at exposing this shit then. Brings a smile to my face when people talk about James. Truly missed and a wonderful individual!
This may be shocking to hear, but some people get tattoos for specific reasons, and it has nothing to do with creating one piece of art on their body. Almost like they think for themselves and don't care what people think tattoos should be to others.
I have one incident I cannot explain. I was starting a new job and My Wife and I were in the car, when our 4 yr old Daughter says 'when you get to your new job, say hi to your friend Manny' My Wife and just look at each other puzzled and moved on after 5 seconds. Sure enough the next day, the first person I meet at my new job - he says 'my name is Emmanuel, but you can call me Manny', and he did end up being my friend while I worked there. I was pretty freaked out. She didn't really remember it, years later, and I could never get any winning lottery # out of her - lol
Uri was on Johnny Carson one time and he planned on using his own set of silverware. But Johnny was smarter than that and provided him with the *studio's* silverware. Of course Uri couldn't do his trick because the studio's set wasn't prepared with previously bent, loose dinnerware.😂 Uri got annoyed with Johnny because of that and he said at one point, "I can't do this if you're going to pressure me." . 😆 Johnny said, "I'm not doing anything. I'm just sitting here waiting to see what you can do.".😂
I had a visit with a psychic many years ago. Never met her before and there’s no way she was able to know what she told me prior to our meeting. She told me things were going to happen in the near future and they did just as she explained pretty close to the way they actually did. It was amazing.
I saw Criss Angel’s show last year. Expensive shit, but I enjoyed every minute. It was touching how he spent a lot of time of it to cancer research and how we can use science to make lives better. As a massive fan of the JREF, I love to have Chriss on this side of the fight.
Did you watch the video? Chris Mentions James Randi and others who did this as inspiration for why he does it. Not to mention, he knew James Randi personally, and in fact, it was Mr. Randi who gave Chris his stage name.
@nderer495When he exposed uri geller on TV years ago, he also mentioned james randi, in fact, he uses his old stage name out of respect "the amazing randi"
I used to be a total non believer. I'm still sceptical but I have experienced something unexplainable to me. My parents were killed in a car crash in 1974. I was raised by my grandmother who passed away in 1993 (pre internet). My aunt (moms sister) was concerned that my grandmother had passed away at home alone from a stroke. So she went to see a psychic in a city 3 hours away from the small town we lived in. My aunt booked the reading telling the lady nothing about us. When my aunt arrived the next day, the psychic told her that as soon as she had taken the booking a woman had been contacting her begging to let her two boys know she never meant to leave us. This was before mobile phones and the internet and I just can't for the life of me understand how she could have known such specific details about something she wasn't even asked about that had happened 20 odd years in the past. If that is cold reading than hat's off to that lady... She deserves every dollar she makes.
SORRY to pop your bubble but obvious how "psychic" knew.. for one HOW do you know what your aunt said to her ? were you nearby on the call when she booked appointment ? Con artists are very subtle in the way they extract information ..your aunt wanted to know if her mother died alone.. perhaps she casually mentioned that her mother raised HER GRANDCHILDREN from their infancy but before her death lived alone; now the "psychic" knows that BOTH Mommy and Daddy are not in the picture (rare both gone unless deceased). So with aunt's name the "psychic" can get family tree from hall of records. Now having your deceased mother's name they simply look up deaths dating back 2-3 decades with her name using your grandma's house as their address. ALL news articles, etc was visible at Hall of records OR local library on microfilm. ... And computers DID exist in the 1990s. some services you'd call with name or bit of data and within few hours they'd have a printout of recent family history printed out. My bet is your aunt let slip her mom raised her grandchildren from toddlers to adulthood solo.. from that you can extrapolate what happened. Car accident leaving two orpands would DEFINITELY make front page of major newspapers then. I don't share all that to bum ya out but in the hope good people such as yourself are not preyed upon in their time of grief.
I have a good friend who's clairvoyant, like 100% legit no BS the real deal. We had been friends for years before she ever even brought it up in conversation. She grew up in a religious household and suppressed and hid her gift as a kid because her parents believed it was “evil." And its nothing like a generic cold reading. She literally told me my innermost thoughts, beliefs, and stuff that I never told anyone. I asked her to do a reading on an ex, who she had never met before, and she had her in tears in a matter of seconds. She also did a reading on another friend of mine, who was a 27 year old virgin at the time, that he was going to be the groom in a "bogus wedding," which he blew off as nonsense since he had never even been with a girl. But sure enough, like a week later, he hooks up with with this asian girl, and the first time he sleeps over at her place, he wakes up the next morning, and her entire family is there, preparing to marry them in traditional asian wedding ceremony. He called me in shock, told me that what had been said during his reading was coming true, and begging me to come and rescue him. And being the good friend that I am, I went and rescued him. And even though my friends readings are hella legit, she never charges money for a reading, she'll only do a reading on someone if they could somehow benefit from the information, and she won't do readings on sketchy people or people that are "only going to get bad news" in her words. I know there are plenty of charlatans, but Im convinced with 100% certainty that my friend has "the gift." So I'm sure there are others who have it also. .
I have a friend who is like that. She does medical readings on complete strangers because her guides tell her to like when she's in the grocery store. She will tell someone that they need a certain vitamin or whatever. She's amazing. That's not all she knows or channels but you get the picture. She's blown my mind many times. She does not profit from it other than tge satisfaction of helping people.
@@cindybombarger9224 Interesting. Sort of like an "awake and conscious" Edgar Casey. Sorta different from my friend though, as she doesn't "channel" or have "guides". She just uses the "gift" she's had since she was a little kid. Not saying that either way is any better or worse than the other, obviously they're both tapped into something we can't see but definitely does exist. And you can always tell who the legit ones are because they are not out for financial gain. Like you were saying, their personal reward is the satisfaction and gratitude that comes from helping other people, not making money off of them.
Yeah, and like, I know this one prostitute, and like, she doesn't have sex with me just because I pay her, she does it because she like really likes it and stuff. I know every other hooker does it for the money, but when she says she misses me, it's like just sooo real you know? Like she misses me and not just the money I pay her for her "time". But she only feels that way about me, like every one else she's just a full of shit sex worker......but when she tricks me because I'm gullible it's real.
A new hire at work kept staring at me and eventually I asked "what's up?" She came up to me and told me that 3 men were standing behind me and described exactly what they looked like. The men she described perfectly were my dad my uncle and my grandfather. No of those men had social media and I've never met or talked to this lady before. None of my coworkers no that personally info about me so she couldn't have asked around. The crazy thing is....I was listening to a song I chose for my dads funeral at that very moment. I haven't listened to that song since his funeral until that very moment.
I'd be curious his thoughts on UFOs aliens dimensions, people that channel beings and things like that remote viewing. He should be great things tasks came about. Seems pretty straightforward and honest and I'd like that opinion
I have a question for Stevo. Now that you've had this interview with Chris Angel, do you still feel like the celebrity psychic medium Tyler Henry was able to communicate with your mother? I remember that they had neuroscientist hook a monitor to his head during the readings which showed a variety of significant changes during Tyler's automatic writing. Stevo you went in a sceptic. By the time Tyler finished, you believed he was capable of communicating with deceased individuals.
It is not that the particles are being observed by a person that makes them behave differently it is the device being used to observe them directly interfering with them. @@garysteeley1932
I saw him 21 years ago in NYC with my father. He took me there when I turned 18.... Wow im old now He puts on a great show, i've always been a fan of Chris
This is a good point. That ep with dr drew was interesting... if in Tyler's case, he can slip into a brainwave state that is typically unattainable awake, this could go in a few ways. His daydreaming + cold reading?
I mean you can call this coincidence but, very often, I'll be thinking about someone who I haven't spoken to in 5 years and they suddenly call me at that very second. I'm not saying it's psychic powers but there are definitely strange phenomenon I've experienced in life
Yeah I do think they're is something supernatural out there, I always called it bs until something happened me that was too much of a coincidence. Saying that I have no idea how it works or what's out there but these psychics are all liars and frauds, I'd believe one if they won the lotto
I did too! i thought it was some kind of liquor for sure based on the cap actually, looks like an airplane bottle, then the square bottle i thought for sure.
There was that great South Park episode, S6E15, “The Biggest Douche in the Universe,” where they expose the cold reading technique, particularly with regard to John Edwards. Criss Angel did a great job explaining it here.
My mom had a reading done by a well received psychic and one of the standouts was a man will die at a fairly young age and shock the entire family. My dad passed about a year later in his early 40's. I think there are gifted ppl out there that aren't con artists.
Yes, but if it had been one of your cousins, an uncle, etc., it still would have been a correct prediction. That's known as a general prediction, which could be true of many people. If she were truly psychic, why didn't she just come out and tell her she would become a young widow? Even better, why didn't she warn your mother that your father had health issues, so she could get him to a doctor, or tell her the date that the accident would occur so he could stay home? I am not making light of it, because I am sorry for your loss. I lost my husband when he was only 39 yrs old. I was 36 yrs old at the time, and at 51 yrs old, I still miss him. I just don't think this "psychic" correctly predicted anything that anyone else couldn't just throw out and be right about with any other family. After all, we fit predictions to our narrative when we want to believe, and young can become subjective. "Uncle Jack died at 63 yrs old. He was so young..." See what I'm saying?
You really believe that's some improbable thing to say? Did he say your dad within a year, did ge give a specific age range? Or did he suggest something so vague, that you could fit almost any male death in your entire extended family, into that prediction. Better yet, if that situation never came up, you never would have thought of that prediction again.
Steve, this is such a good podcast because you let your guests talk. You are great at getting people to open up, but you are even better at LETTING THEM SPEAK. Great work!
@squibbelsmcjohnsonno, CRISS is a mentalist lol….. Psychics use intuition, or even tarot, which IS VERY much so real…. I use it myself, & I’m not taking anyone’s money. 🤷🏽♀️✨ There are shady people out there, but that’s not EVERYONE. You can develop these aspects with meditation, & focus exercises.
Ive been to one and she didn't ask me ANYTHING.. She straight up started telling me why i went there and EXACTLY what i was feeling and felt about other specific people in my life and what they WERE DOING and it was alot of accurate information all from my mind and fears and i DID NOT TELL HER ANYTHING OTHER THAN MY NAME..
so interesting to see criss angel as a debunker considering his seemingly cringe reputation among magic purists for all the rules for on screen magic he violated in the making of his shows and such. He's speaking truth. Met him once, he's from Long Island where I'm from. He chatted up hot girls for hours holding up the line and then when it came to anyone else he just gave a nod and shoved us along. smart, talented and devoted guy though! Magic is so cool. Did my high school senior project on this topic.
I never thought much of Criss Angel before, but after this, I have more respect for the fact that he acknowledges that he's fooling people, not actually thinking he has legit magical abilities
What Criss is saying is true, almost. They're basically almost all cold readers, paid ones in particular. Only reason I say almost is that until you've had someone random who you haven't paid, who you've never met tell you VERY detailed information out of the blue you'll never believe it. But when that happens with zero cold reading, nothing, it will amaze you. I've had my experiences. I've had it with others witness it and freak out. I've seen it happen to others. Legit ones are just pulled to tell you something and believe me it's never some simple thing and they won't check to see if you're buying in to it like some cold reader. They'll just tell you and move on.
A lot of people that can see the future don't know that they in fact did see it until it plays out in front of them. Then they're like...."WTF..Did that really just happen, and how did I dream this previously?"
What about the guy who does the numbers up on the stage and then the or the words and then everybody in the audience writes a word down. Ends up spelling. The words are making a sentence. That’s bizarre.
Most of the time the people they choose are actors or pre-approved on their end. If not, it's a cold reading based on your body language. You can learn to do, and most time you already read people in general, it's your first impression.
Doesn't he know, there is a Cosmic rule that you can't use your powers to win the lottery. You can only use them to make $20 an hour in a strip mall in Hokoben, or on a basic cable tv show.

Lol Steve-O pushing back in favour of psychics vs Criss Angel is hilarious
Because he is trying to help him. He MADE MONEY off of this. Not fair for him to expose the game.
@@mattk8810 huh? One, Steve-O isn't trying to help him. He's just caught up in wishful thinking like so many other suckers that fall for the bullshit. Two, Criss always was up front that none of what he did is real. Don't really know what you're on about to be honest.
@@brian4180no he wasn’t. Not until he stopped! I remember watching this basta#d when I was a teen.

I guess you can say that having the skill to convince a bunch of vulnerable people into giving away their money is kind of like winning the lottery
That's because demons hold a carrot in front of them and bring them into a downward spiral, while they are in denial and believe if they burn some sage then it's just good spirits around them for no reason giving them pointers

But you spend a few dollars.
I'm really concerned on places people go and don't leave with their appendix besides the hospital lol
When his show first started, I left Chris a voice message asking about shows and private shows, and he actually called back and left a message.
Was pretty cool of him to personally reach out and leave a message.
Yeah you think that but in reality he just mindfreaked you
@@notmyname9625mindfucked
Did u hire him?
I mean i farted in his mouth once
Hey its criss...i get tons of calls and try to answer everyone back. Little harder the more i was on tv though!
Really cool to see this side of Chris. I like that he’s trying to explain that entertainment and parlor tricks are just that, entertainment, and that when people start using that to profit off people that are in a vulnerable time in life, he’s not ok with that and has no problem voicing it for everyone to know. 👏🏼
He always has. We magicians have a long proud history of exposing these monsters. Some of the worst predators. Not to mention they're using the tricks we use and aren't very good at them, and that bugs us on a personal level as well LOL.
Would he expose it before he got rich off „magic” too though? Nope but i respect him talking about it now
@@sowaveysuyat I refer you to my above comment....magicians have been exposing the frauds since Houdini. Cris quite publicly exposed a "psychic" when he was judge of a magic competition on TV, during the height of his career. Magicians NEVER claim its real.
I completely agree with you, but i have to disagree with criss slightly, i cant blame him for having the opinion he has, you wouldn’t even take psychic ability seriously unless you actually experienced an unexplainable situation firsthand. and i have, a lady i never met in person predicted in detail all the women i would date or sleep with including details about them, breast size, hair length, colors, names etc. timelines, car models etc. bumper stickers too. and even my career choice. i lost all contact with her shortly after that but literally everything she said was true and things about my past were true as well. Things iv never told anyone. and also she was not profiting from me either. it was a friendly conversation. When this occurred i went on a mission collecting data and seeing psychics and in the hundreds of people i met only 3 have been legit. Knowing things that were impossible and predicted things that came true in exact specific detail. Now… this only makes it more offensive to me when scammers lie to people and scam them because i know real psychics do exist and it makes finding one a real hassle when 98 percent of them are liars or thieves. one thing i have noticed about the real ones is that they typically really want to help people and arent always expecting money. Tip for you there.
@sowaveysuyat if it was before he were famous how would we know? It's kinda like whether or not one hand in an empty forest makes a sound. No one will know but the person clapping.
Even if nobody reads this, I can absolutely tell you with no hesitation and years of experience, that politics, pro wrestling, the music business, and magicianship are all the exact same business with different nuances.
I agree 100%
Same with psychics as well.
Wrestling doesn’t pretend to be real anymore

dude had a gimmick and he cashed out. as cringe as it was you can't really hate on the dude. he seems chill
Guess he tricked you
Well he is a mind freak
I love the talk about James Randi, I didn't know Houdini was involved in calling BS as well. Very nice!
I'm honestly real surprised a lot of people have no idea what cold reading is. Makes the Long Island Medium a lot funnier if you know the trick.
Yeah dumb people fall for the psychic shit and just like Chriss wisely said, "they only remember what they want to."
They don't remember the line of questioning that led up to the psychics "assumption" or all of the things they guessed wrong.
It's like paranormal enthusiasts or conspiracy theorists (not saying they don't exist/some aren't real) if you WANT to believe so badly, you will find ways to convince yourself. The mind is a helluva drug.
Yea the real "magic" is using cold reading to influence the individual sovereign into a perspective where they have inspiration fuel to achieve there goals nothing more. The lay out of the system are the "sacred" parts.
@@wowsa77Can I take medium rare and you take medium well? I only eat steak with a lot of pink…….

She also employed hot reading. There was a lot of pre-show she employed for her live shows. When you bought tickets for her show they had your full name and address. They would do all kinds of background on people who were going to be at the show. Then on the way into the show there were cards you would fill out with your name and who you wanted to contact. It's like taking candy from a baby.

Hahaha😂
The last conclusion on Crisses path is nihilism. Some can live relatively on and off happy as nihilists. Most can't.
Also, he and others like him are caught in the confirmation bias game just like the people they mock or despise. They have their set belief and look for explanations to confirm it.
I'm skeptic which means I don't have a firm belief one way or the other and take nobody on any sides of fences at face value. I let time pass and see the complexities unfold.
Skepticism requires open mind and so I have talked with some people with 'abilities'. Some parts I can't say one way or the other, some I reject, some have turned out as remarkably true, like finding a micro needle in a hay stack concerning me and my life. And Crisses explanations do not apply at all to those instances. I can't stress it enough, these explanations don't work in what I have experienced.
So, nihilists be nihilists and continue searching confirmation to their ready and final set of convictions.
But that is not me.
I thought he was sizzling a sausage with that voice
I never knew this Criss Angel guy was actually a really smart, cool, and generous guy. Thanks for this interview.
I like how Criss didn't back off of psychics being fos regardless of Steve Os experience.
it's because he knows with reasonable certainty. while yeah there totally COULD be a real psychic (keeping a purely open mind), it's the very fact that literally every single psychic presentation you'll find under the sun operates on the same methods of vaguely obscure readings, to the point that the prediction must come true at some point in time.
this vague reading leads victims of the psychic to mentally keep an eye out for the vague things the psychic suggested, giving the effect that when they do finally see something which they feel is what the psychic suggested, it leads the person to believe that the psychic knew it was going to happen, when they had absolutely no idea.
Because that's called being stubborn. Hes not a real magic trick kind of guy so why would he shit all over himself knowing hes not real and that his tricks where all camera tricks lol
I bet if you switched criss Angel and dauve Blaine they both would different perspectives. One only believes in parlor tricks when the other actually tries to make magic happen.
Some people are more arrogant and I think steve-o is more open minded.
@@Bakedea87 you call curious resistance to a questionable story stubborn? it is actually the exact opposite. it would be stubborn to automatically assume things are all true based on peoples word alone.
there is the option of 1. lying (obviously unlikely in SteveO's case, he's an honest G), or 2. not all the information is known, and this is where Criss began explaining the high likelihood of "pre-show" information collection that they can present later in a seemingly magical way.
if you want to see a good example of this, watch James Randi's debunking of Peter Popovs faith healing church, where he records them collecting addresses and personal information about people in the pre-show before they record the miraculous reveal of all that collected information via radio on live tv.
Criss Angel does know a lot of real magic tricks, he said in the podcast he was more a generalized type who never specialized in anything, but knew about it all in the most general sense.
Psychics are really the biggest PoS people. They make profit off other people's tragedies and shock... they make their mental stability and process of moving on sooo much harder...
The Bible says “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
AND:
Jesus answered, “I’m the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
I pray you make your eternal destiny secure through Jesus right now. It sure beats burning in Hell forever. Ask Him into your heart and to save you right now, you’ll be glad you did.
@@danielb.1567get out of here with that Bible bull crap, make-believe bull crap. People who created the Bible are the same pieces of crap, or else they wouldn't charge for it
On the reverse of that, people go to psychics because they are struggling mentally and lost. A good psychic would help someone get over a lost loved one by telling them to let that person go, which is something a grieving person might need to hear. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a good psychic because they are all in it for money, not to help anyone, and they are scammers by definition since they don't actually have psychic powers.

James Randi himself was a con artist. He took money given to him for that prize ( it was not his own money ), put it in a bank, drew the interest off of it for his own purposes, and created a charity so he didn't have to pay taxes. He might have presented himself as a "truther", but he was also running a con. No different than a church.

One day my ex-girlfriend went to a Psychic and the crazy woman had my ex convinced that I was cheating on her and she believed it for the rest of our relationship, and would always accuse me. That was beginning of the end of our relationship, it seriously drove me away from her that she would believe someone she never met over someone who loved, cared for, and devoted my life to. It also drove me to my own suspicions of her cheating me, and that maybe she’s feeling guilty of something and that’s why she’s always accusing me.
At end of the day it’s bunch of bs and a gimmick for your money….
Inception was a helluva movie.
You can tell the truth now. Ya cheated...right?
Crazy story good happened earlier and not after marriage and kids. For how long you were a couple?
I think she used the psychic as an excuse, but she was just insecure, and most likely felt bad about her own habit of cheating... Sorry about that
Edit: sorry this comment was useless... Maybe it was the psychic's fault.... It's three am... I think I'm getting delirious

Chris Angel is great. He was always my favorite magician during the 00s heyday, and seeing all the great interviews in more recent years and seeing/hearing how grounded he is just makes me like him even more. Can’t wait for the full episode!
He does have his own podcast.
grounded is the best way to describe him. What an arc haha. Once TV magicians stopped being treated like rockstars, Chris Angel reverted to a normal human, and David Blaine lost his goddamn mind. David Blaine pretends like he's drifting between planes of existence in ordinary conversation, its just a card trick Dave. The man should be locked up, he can have a deck of cards, and an endless stream of participants who will lie about what their card was while he does sleight of hand until he can do no more.

I remember as a kid watching Criss Angel's show with my friends. We mostly laughed it off and could easily pick apart how he did his tricks, but we kept coming back anyway because Criss just seemed like such a cool guy. Glad to know my childhood intuition was right on the money with this guy.

That was awesome. Great explanation of cold reading--a lot of people leave out the fact that it is still a skill because it involves honing in on the 'hits' I've been a skeptic since I saw Randi's show on PBS as a kid. The modern world needs to be taught about critical thinking big time, cause it effects all of our futures wit6h political BS etc.
It's easy to be skeptical when you're young. It's even easier still to dismiss the mainstream "psychics." But when you live long enough to have personally encountered supernatural stuff, you can't ever shake the "but maybe??" again
@@saulspeaks2557 I was gullible when I was young. It took decades for me to shake off religious indoctrination. I have had 'odd' personal experiences too, but that is exactly why learning to think critically is important. Because if you know something about the psychology of magic, you know how easy it is for your senses to fool you. Science eliminates that personal bias--which is why science is responsible for all the progress of our species, and your "personally encountered stuff" is responsible for nothing but foolishness and dead ends. For example, say you saw a ghost. Do you believe it was a ghost because you saw it, and experienced it? If your answer is yes, you don't understand how skepticism works and why it is important.
Since there is zero objective evidence for ghosts, the far more likely explanation is that your senses fooled you, or that something fooled your senses. Admitting that to yourself is tough, because it is hard to deny the truth of your own experience, but it is the smarter thing to do. Because if you validate personal experience as truth, anything goes. People blow up buildings because they were 100% convinced that god or a demon told them to. They were wrong. You are wrong. Learn about confirmation bias. Learn to question your own beliefs.

That was the most polite way of saying all of these people are scam artists and full of it. He’s always been a well spoken person. I used to watch him all the time growing up. I’m not in to magic anymore, but he still seems to be the same guy he was when I stopped watching years ago. Which I can appreciate.

I used to be a total non believer. I'm still sceptical but I have experienced something unexplainable to me. My parents were killed in a car crash in 1974. I was raised by my grandmother who passed away in 1993 (pre internet). My aunt (moms sister) was concerned that my grandmother had passed away at home alone from a stroke. So she went to see a psychic in a city 3 hours away from the small town we lived in. My aunt booked the reading telling the lady nothing about us. When my aunt arrived the next day, the psychic told her that as soon as she had taken the booking a woman had been contacting her begging to let her two boys know she never meant to leave us. This was before mobile phones and the internet and I just can't for the life of me understand how she could have known such specific details about something she wasn't even asked about that had happened 20 odd years in the past. If that is cold reading than hat's off to that lady... She deserves every dollar she makes.
SORRY to pop your bubble but obvious how "psychic" knew.. for one HOW do you know what your aunt said to her ? were you nearby on the call when she booked appointment ? Con artists are very subtle in the way they extract information ..your aunt wanted to know if her mother died alone.. perhaps she casually mentioned that her mother raised HER GRANDCHILDREN from their infancy but before her death lived alone; now the "psychic" knows that BOTH Mommy and Daddy are not in the picture (rare both gone unless deceased). So with aunt's name the "psychic" can get family tree from hall of records. Now having your deceased mother's name they simply look up deaths dating back 2-3 decades with her name using your grandma's house as their address. ALL news articles, etc was visible at Hall of records OR local library on microfilm. ... And computers DID exist in the 1990s. some services you'd call with name or bit of data and within few hours they'd have a printout of recent family history printed out. My bet is your aunt let slip her mom raised her grandchildren from toddlers to adulthood solo.. from that you can extrapolate what happened. Car accident leaving two orpands would DEFINITELY make front page of major newspapers then.
I don't share all that to bum ya out but in the hope good people such as yourself are not preyed upon in their time of grief.
So sorry about your parents and your grand mum.
Is it possible to get the name of the psychic lady?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Omg that ad at the end is gonna have me laughing for the rest of my life🥲🥲🥲
I have a good friend who's clairvoyant, like 100% legit no BS the real deal.
We had been friends for years before she ever even brought it up in conversation. She grew up in a religious household and suppressed and hid her gift as a kid because her parents believed it was “evil."
And its nothing like a generic cold reading. She literally told me my innermost thoughts, beliefs, and stuff that I never told anyone.
I asked her to do a reading on an ex, who she had never met before, and she had her in tears in a matter of seconds.
She also did a reading on another friend of mine, who was a 27 year old virgin at the time, that he was going to be the groom in a "bogus wedding," which he blew off as nonsense since he had never even been with a girl.
But sure enough, like a week later, he hooks up with with this asian girl, and the first time he sleeps over at her place, he wakes up the next morning, and her entire family is there, preparing to marry them in traditional asian wedding ceremony.
He called me in shock, told me that what had been said during his reading was coming true, and begging me to come and rescue him. And being the good friend that I am, I went and rescued him.
And even though my friends readings are hella legit, she never charges money for a reading, she'll only do a reading on someone if they could somehow benefit from the information, and she won't do readings on sketchy people or people that are "only going to get bad news" in her words.
I know there are plenty of charlatans, but Im convinced with 100% certainty that my friend has "the gift." So I'm sure there are others who have it also.
.
I have a friend who is like that. She does medical readings on complete strangers because her guides tell her to like when she's in the grocery store. She will tell someone that they need a certain vitamin or whatever. She's amazing. That's not all she knows or channels but you get the picture. She's blown my mind many times. She does not profit from it other than tge satisfaction of helping people.
@@cindybombarger9224 Interesting. Sort of like an "awake and conscious" Edgar Casey.
Sorta different from my friend though, as she doesn't "channel" or have "guides". She just uses the "gift" she's had since she was a little kid.
Not saying that either way is any better or worse than the other, obviously they're both tapped into something we can't see but definitely does exist.
And you can always tell who the legit ones are because they are not out for financial gain. Like you were saying, their personal reward is the satisfaction and gratitude that comes from helping other people, not making money off of them.
Wtf lol
Family member is like that, doesn't talk about it anymore, says that shit is evil and wants nothing to do with it.
Yeah, and like, I know this one prostitute, and like, she doesn't have sex with me just because I pay her, she does it because she like really likes it and stuff. I know every other hooker does it for the money, but when she says she misses me, it's like just sooo real you know? Like she misses me and not just the money I pay her for her "time". But she only feels that way about me, like every one else she's just a full of shit sex worker......but when she tricks me because I'm gullible it's real.
Never thought someone like Chris angel would be so down to earth this dudes cool af
A new hire at work kept staring at me and eventually I asked "what's up?" She came up to me and told me that 3 men were standing behind me and described exactly what they looked like. The men she described perfectly were my dad my uncle and my grandfather. No of those men had social media and I've never met or talked to this lady before. None of my coworkers no that personally info about me so she couldn't have asked around. The crazy thing is....I was listening to a song I chose for my dads funeral at that very moment. I haven't listened to that song since his funeral until that very moment.
I'd be curious his thoughts on UFOs aliens dimensions, people that channel beings and things like that remote viewing. He should be great things tasks came about. Seems pretty straightforward and honest and I'd like that opinion
@squibbelsmcjohnson probably....would be nice if the right person was on the show with him.
@squibbelsmcjohnson Remote viewing is real but alright .....
I have a question for Stevo. Now that you've had this interview with Chris Angel, do you still feel like the celebrity psychic medium Tyler Henry was able to communicate with your mother? I remember that they had neuroscientist hook a monitor to his head during the readings which showed a variety of significant changes during Tyler's automatic writing. Stevo you went in a sceptic. By the time Tyler finished, you believed he was capable of communicating with deceased individuals.
The dead can’t speak
@@lizi.2503 yeah yeah dead can't speak but please debunk the double slit experiment.
It is not that the particles are being observed by a person that makes them behave differently it is the device being used to observe them directly interfering with them. @@garysteeley1932
I’m gonna sit and wait here for Stevo to answer your question on TH-cam………………………………
Exactly!!
This was so good i had to go and watch the whole video :)
What a fucking interesting guy.
"Californerr"
I heard that XD
Yuperrrrz
I saw him 21 years ago in NYC with my father. He took me there when I turned 18.... Wow im old now
He puts on a great show, i've always been a fan of Chris
I wonder what he’d have to say about Tyler Henry
He would call him fake rt.
It's all a tv scam.
I was wondering the same. I saw that episode. Dr Drew had his brain monitored on that episode. Dr Drew didn't call BS
@@hooligan2005 exactly. That episode with Dr Drew is the only episode that matters really
This is a good point. That ep with dr drew was interesting... if in Tyler's case, he can slip into a brainwave state that is typically unattainable awake, this could go in a few ways. His daydreaming + cold reading?
Chris is one of the most humble and down to earth celebrities. Very self aware and very polite.
“I’ve hypnotized 150 people to remove their clothes”
Druski: what do you mean by that?! 🤨
I mean you can call this coincidence but, very often, I'll be thinking about someone who I haven't spoken to in 5 years and they suddenly call me at that very second. I'm not saying it's psychic powers but there are definitely strange phenomenon I've experienced in life
Well, maybe not magic but maybe destiny 🤸
Maybe energy
How many times have you thought about someone and they don’t call you?
Shut up. Nobody cares.
Yeah I do think they're is something supernatural out there, I always called it bs until something happened me that was too much of a coincidence. Saying that I have no idea how it works or what's out there but these psychics are all liars and frauds, I'd believe one if they won the lotto
Lol i definatly thought he was just chilling with a fith of Amsterdam at first glance
I did too! i thought it was some kind of liquor for sure based on the cap actually, looks like an airplane bottle, then the square bottle i thought for sure.
There was that great South Park episode, S6E15, “The Biggest Douche in the Universe,” where they expose the cold reading technique, particularly with regard to John Edwards. Criss Angel did a great job explaining it here.
My mom had a reading done by a well received psychic and one of the standouts was a man will die at a fairly young age and shock the entire family. My dad passed about a year later in his early 40's. I think there are gifted ppl out there that aren't con artists.
Yes, but if it had been one of your cousins, an uncle, etc., it still would have been a correct prediction. That's known as a general prediction, which could be true of many people. If she were truly psychic, why didn't she just come out and tell her she would become a young widow? Even better, why didn't she warn your mother that your father had health issues, so she could get him to a doctor, or tell her the date that the accident would occur so he could stay home? I am not making light of it, because I am sorry for your loss. I lost my husband when he was only 39 yrs old. I was 36 yrs old at the time, and at 51 yrs old, I still miss him. I just don't think this "psychic" correctly predicted anything that anyone else couldn't just throw out and be right about with any other family. After all, we fit predictions to our narrative when we want to believe, and young can become subjective. "Uncle Jack died at 63 yrs old. He was so young..." See what I'm saying?
You really believe that's some improbable thing to say? Did he say your dad within a year, did ge give a specific age range? Or did he suggest something so vague, that you could fit almost any male death in your entire extended family, into that prediction. Better yet, if that situation never came up, you never would have thought of that prediction again.
@@ReasonBeing25 The woman predicted hundreds of accurate readings.
I have so much more respect for Criss now. Never had negative feelings but this elevated it.
Steve, this is such a good podcast because you let your guests talk. You are great at getting people to open up, but you are even better at LETTING THEM SPEAK. Great work!
hes confusing illusions with magic. Hes an ILLUSIONIST
@squibbelsmcjohnson you dont get what im saying. Im not talking about tricks
Magic doesn’t exist. I’m sorry that you can’t live with that fact…
@@JRandaII you sir, live under a F-ng rock. Now go back 2 sleep 🐑
@@joe-5Dwhat you are talking about is demonic, my opinion
@squibbelsmcjohnsonno, CRISS is a mentalist lol…..
Psychics use intuition, or even tarot, which IS VERY much so real…. I use it myself, & I’m not taking anyone’s money. 🤷🏽♀️✨
There are shady people out there, but that’s not EVERYONE.
You can develop these aspects with meditation, & focus exercises.
the lottery comment made me think “oh shit!”.
I don't think he could've articulated a better explanation of this break down.... Respect.
The key is to realize there is no spoon 😊
Ive been to one and she didn't ask me ANYTHING.. She straight up started telling me why i went there and EXACTLY what i was feeling and felt about other specific people in my life and what they WERE DOING and it was alot of accurate information all from my mind and fears and i DID NOT TELL HER ANYTHING OTHER THAN MY NAME..
so interesting to see criss angel as a debunker considering his seemingly cringe reputation among magic purists for all the rules for on screen magic he violated in the making of his shows and such. He's speaking truth. Met him once, he's from Long Island where I'm from. He chatted up hot girls for hours holding up the line and then when it came to anyone else he just gave a nod and shoved us along. smart, talented and devoted guy though! Magic is so cool. Did my high school senior project on this topic.
I never thought much of Criss Angel before, but after this, I have more respect for the fact that he acknowledges that he's fooling people, not actually thinking he has legit magical abilities
What Criss is saying is true, almost. They're basically almost all cold readers, paid ones in particular.
Only reason I say almost is that until you've had someone random who you haven't paid, who you've never met tell you VERY detailed information out of the blue you'll never believe it. But when that happens with zero cold reading, nothing, it will amaze you.
I've had my experiences. I've had it with others witness it and freak out. I've seen it happen to others. Legit ones are just pulled to tell you something and believe me it's never some simple thing and they won't check to see if you're buying in to it like some cold reader. They'll just tell you and move on.
Any names of these people
A lot of people that can see the future don't know that they in fact did see it until it plays out in front of them. Then they're like...."WTF..Did that really just happen, and how did I dream this previously?"
Dude looks like the Count with the beanie, glasses and scrubby beard 😅
What about the guy who does the numbers up on the stage and then the or the words and then everybody in the audience writes a word down. Ends up spelling. The words are making a sentence. That’s bizarre.
🤦
Most of the time the people they choose are actors or pre-approved on their end. If not, it's a cold reading based on your body language. You can learn to do, and most time you already read people in general, it's your first impression.
