The Belly Button Ring

Criss approaches some people in the park. He picks a lady with a belly button ring as his assistant. He then picks a ring from one of the other bystanders. Criss puts the ring between his two teeth and ends up spitting the ring at the woman’s belly button ring. Surprisingly the ring Criss spit is actually interlinked with the belly button ring. I have absolutely no idea how Criss performed this trick. If anyone has an idea feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.

The Mysterious Phone Call

Criss gathers a group of people together at the Luxor Pyramid. He tells them about a feeling he just had where someone called him and he knew who it was before he even picked up the phone. Criss has decided that he will try to duplicate that with a group of people. Criss first picks 10 random people. He then throws out his wristband in order to get another random person. This random person then picks one of the 10 people Criss picked earlier. Criss then has the woman that was picked get out her phone and give it to another one of the randomly selected people. Criss then has the woman who gave up her cellphone think of someone who she wishes would call her. Criss has her describe the person and Criss then has everyone concentrate on the person. The phone suddenly rings and it turns out to be a text message from the person that everyone was thinking of. The only way I think this trick could ahve been done is if at least some of the crowd was in on the trick. I get this vibe since it is suspicious that the name was never shown on the cellphone when the call came in.

Barrell Drop

Since Criss always likes to take things to the next level, Criss has decided to take his barrell drop from the first season to the next level. This time Criss will be locked in a steal drum and lifted 100 feet into the air. When the barrell reaches 100 feet it will be dropped to the ground. If Criss can’t strap his safety harness to the crane in time he will fall to his death. Before the stunt begins Criss has a bunch of people check out the barrell. Criss is then put into the barrell and is handcuffed to the lid. The lid is also bolted shut. Before Criss is lifted towards the crane his assistants seem to tilt the barrell back and forth way to many times (enough time to perhaps pick the handcuff locks and move onto the lid locks. Finally before he is finally lifeted into the air a suspicious man approaches the barrell and does something (you can’t tell for sure since this part is fast forwarded through). The barrell is lifted into the air and when it hits the 100 feet it is dropped. Criss has already escaped by this time though. My guess with this stunt is that Criss’ assistants seemed to have wasted enough time in order to give Criss enough time to breakout before he was even lifted into the air. Plus Criss also said something suspicious before he was lifted onto the crane so I think this was the keyword that he was already done with the locks.

If you have any ideas about how Criss accomplished any of his stunts feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
