Walking Through a Metal Door
In a previous episode Criss actually walked through a storefront window and all his fans loved the illusion. Criss decided to up the anty and this time has decided to walk through a metal door. Criss has some bystanders hold pieces of newspapers to cover up parts of the metal door. First Criss puts one of his fingers through the glass in the door. He then puts his leg and his whole body through the metal door. I personally have no idea how he did it but it must be pretty obvious if you were able to see it since the door was always covered where he went through the door.
The Forklift
Criss decides to invite some of his fans to his warehouse since he wants to set them up for a prank. He shows them the warehouse and Criss then runs into one of his employees who he tells shouldn’t be driving the forklift. Criss tells the man to back up the forklift but he ends up driving it forward and impalling Criss. It goes right through Criss’ body and Criss is lifted into the air. The fans panic despite the fact that Criss is magically not bleeding. There is also the fact that the forklift is way to dull to ever pierce through Criss. It would shove him to the ground before it pierced him.
Cremation
As the title of the episode says, Criss decides to have his own cremation. Criss lies on a table in a parking lot so everyone can see him. He then has people dressed in black suits cover him with a white sheet. The people in the black suits lift up the sheet to reveal Criss’ hand and head. One of the black figures then pour gasoline onto the sheet and then set the sheet on fire. It burns for a while and then Criss reveals that he took the place of one of the people in the black robes. I don’t know how this illusion was done but I could definently tell that the people in the black robes tended to waste a lot of time.
Do you have an idea how any of these illusions were pulled off? Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
The cremation was obvious. You can actually see the sheet bubble up as they were moving it close to the table. That is Criss moving under the table, then under the fake masked robed guy who never moves standing on the right side of the screen. If you watch closely at the screen when the 6 masked guys are walking up, the last 2 are standing side by side. The guy in front is walking with the fake masked guy by his side. (He is obviously carrying him. The sheet has a something that easily burned in the shape of Criss’ body attached to the back. He doesn’t really position himself inside the masked guys suit until right before he starts to move. You can actually see the robe sway back and forth almost like the wind is blowing it. But only his robe does that. None of the others blow.
