HAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

Good one. What a doofus angel is.

Some of his stuff is interesting, but some not so much.

The first show I caught of his, he set himself on fire, ran around for a minute and then collapsed and after they were done spraying him down, they revealed that only his clothes were left on the ground and then one of the ground crew with an extinguisher takes off his mask and *poof* it's Angel. This all happened in about 5 seconds. Kinda neat.

But then the second show I stayed up to watch, his big trick was lifting a taxicab. Which bounced when he let it down, pretty much giving away the fact that the trunk was weighted. The part that really made the episode cheesy was that he spent most of the 30 minutes talking about how he had the ability to use mystic asian mui thai (sp?) powers to channel tremendous strength through his body. They even staged a stunt at the Aladdin where he pushed over a palm tree selected "at random" by a "random" person in the crowd. The funny part was that the tree was in a patch with other trees, and it was a completely different color and species from *every other tree*. C'mon, we're gullible, but not stupid.

I guess we can thank David Bland for the new breed of "oh, that trick took so much out of me, let me rest a moment" street magician. I recognize that 90% of magic is presentation, but melodrama is terrible in any medium.
