So, I've watched this a few times.

1. Walks on water
2. Walks through plate glass window
3. Puts cell phone inside empty bottle

Anyone know how he does these tricks?

Faith?

Pact with the Devil...

I have no idea. But I'm not well versed in deception. There is an enormous component of human psychology. I'm certain there is a rational, non-supernatural explanation for all of it.

But I could be wrong...

How they walk on water from the TV series "Breaking the Magician's Code"

Anything is possible through prayer or glass.

These are just clever tricks. People really don't walk on water;
you can't really put a cell phone through a bottle, you can't
really go through a glass window . . .

But There's no way the three and the eight witnesses could have
been deceived . . . Their testimony stands a proof positive that
the Book of Mormon is TRUE!!!!

There's no other explanation.

Drives me NUTS that I can't figure out how hw does it!

Missionary tricks. He learned them in the MTC...

people want to be fooled, any magician will tell you that, they love the sense of wonder and are willing miss the obvious.

this more than anything keeps people in the morg I prefer to figure out how a trick is done... and I bet most here do, but ask around and you will see, your TBM friends would just like to me amazed.

best magic movie BTW 'The Prestige'

Love that movie!
Side note: my parents were always telling us how magicians were evil, slight of hand and all that.
Too bad they couldn't see churchco's blatant extortion, aka: tithing...

Chris Angel used wires and a helicopter when he walked on water in Vegas. You can see some turbulence in the water that could be caused by a helicopter above him.

The plate glass window had a base below it that could have had a secret panel in it that he slid through. The guy with the over coat was in on the trick. Notice he had to duck down really low. He didn't walk straight through.

Not sure on the bottle, but he probably placed the trick bottle in the area to begin with.

The masked magician walk on glass plates mounted on glass in a pool. Everyone in the pool was in on it when Chris Angel did the same.

The masked magician walked thru a glass plate by having the panel slide revealing a hole big enough to walk through.

Haven't seen the cell phone thing duplicated but I'm sure it was a trick bottle that opens up and then closes to make it look like all glass.

I am a big, big magic fan.
I went to vegas to see Penn and Teller and James Randi. I just love stage magic.
For me the pleasure and the wonder is NOT knowing.
I did watch a couple of valentino's (masked magician) programs, and - even though he is a third rate act - it does spoil that sense of wonder.
Luckily, valentino went for the easy meat - tricks that have been going around for ages.

dont worry how it's done, just enjoy it
