Thread: Is it possible

Is it possible to levitate.I have heard people say that if you play the game Light as a feather,stiff as a board you will levitate.Or if you go deep enough into meditation you can levitate.If so can someone please tell me how.I have always wanted to levitate like Criss Angel

Oh,I know Criss Angel is an illusionist,I just meant I wish I could levitate like that for real.I always wanted to levitate as soon as I knew about it.

is glamor and illusion not a magical discipline?

Criss Angel is just an illusionist it isn't real magic or magic of any form.He is more a stunt man then anything else.If you want to call it something you can call it an art form I suppose.Though,even that is kind of insulting to artists so just call it stage magic or street magic which is fake magic.

well, belasko, that is precisely my point. perhaps my definition is broader than ceremonial practices, but also practical means by which to impart ones will.

i can see that validating Mr. Angel struck a cord with somebody. maybe he does ceremonial magick as well, but keeps that part of his life secret, as most of us do, im sure.

and Ms. Marrie, im positive artist would not find Mr. Angels antics insulting to be insinuated as an art form, as anything can become artistic, and graceful.

im sure this isnt necessary but if he does any ceremonial magick, i am aware it has nothing to do with his performances. and ive only seen a few of his shows, and dont know much about him personally, im assuming most everyone else doesnt care enough to look into as well, im just pointing out that the first recipe for glue was considered magic in its time. no reason it doesnt have to lose any status now that their is empirical evidence to show us why it works.

I am curious . Those of you who do not count illusion or glamour as Magic . How would you define Magic . I like Crowleys definition : "the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will" Is an illusionist not using KEY WORD : ILLUSIONS to conform reality to his will ? ceremonial magic to me is only one kind of magic and is akin to self hypnosis . So what makes illusions then less Magic than self hypnosis ? I put forth that Mr. Angel is in fact a vary successful practitioner of the art of magic as he has successfully caused reality to conform with his will in a big way .

Enlighten me please

So what kinda magic do you guys practice that is not fantasy as u call it ? serious question ! What is this Real magic u are implying ? im curious , if im such a fool than help me out .

Oh yes THE SECRET . How vary new ageish (1879). Its interesting but i would not rely on it alone if i had to really make sure i achieve some thing . But such a thing only falls into the category of magic and is not magic alone . Magic to me is achieved by mind body and soul working together . Illusion would be another kind of magic used to deceive confuse entertain or impress ( there r probably other uses too ). The desire being to achieve one of those in a situation were it would be tactically useful . But maybe its my use of many kinds of magic that lets me be so successful . There are many other kinds to though ! I stand by the point that magic is causing reality to conform with will . Dosent matter if you do it on hopes and dreams or strength of will or charisma or intellectual prowess .
