I've been reading up on Criss Angel, who's a pretty mediocre illusionist who's got his own TV show where he makes his boring, tired old tricks seem more impressive through paid actors and clever camera angles and editing. Anyway, many of his fans seem to believe that Criss is more than an illusionist and actually has supernatural/magic powers. I'm sure that if he wanted to, he could find 12 people who could be convinced he was God.
Then I got to wondering if that's how Jesus made his start. I'm sure a really good illusionist could have faked a crucifiction, laid low for a few days, then reappeared saying "Hey people I'm back from the dead!" then a few weeks later make it look like he was levitating into the sky.
Seems a lot more plausible than that he was actually a God-Man.
