More specifically, the levitating stuff.

I have a video of him explaining how he "levitates." I'm at work right now (I have a lot of downtime) and the clip is at home. Anyway, here's an explanation of the video:
This method of levitation (there are many methods that we will discuss in later articles) does require a gimmick or "prop" to conduct properly. You will also need to perform a good deal of "misdirection". Another key element to this trick is the angle in which the audience can see him. They are directly behind Chris Angel with Chris's back facing them. This is important because if the spectators are spread out to wide they may see secret behind the levitation. So basiclly we have a tightly knit combination of simple gimmicks (prop), misdirection, and angles. If one of these are not performed correctly, the trick may fail.
So how is this done? It's a lot simpler than you may have thought. There is no hydraulics, no wires, or anything of that sort involved. The only gimmick is a shoe that is easily slipped on and off and pants that have cut in a way to allow your leg to come out of them. The shoe is attached to the pants so that if your leg is out of the shoe, the shoe will hang. Chris stands centered facing infront of the chair with about a few inches infront of it. Basicly there needs to be enough room to step up onto the chair without appearing that your stepping on the chair. Chris Angel then distracts the spectators by diverting their attention away from his legs so that he can move his leg forward and out of the pant leg via the slit down the front of the pant leg. This will take alot of practice since you need to be able to slip out of the shoe withou revealing that you have removed your foot. At the same time, you should be "redirecting" the attention and eyes of your spectators away from your feet. Chris does this by lifting his arms and moving them around. As you take your foot out of the shoe and pants legging, place it on top of the chair. Then when you are ready lift yourself up by using that leg and stand on the chair, or you can just drop down. Don't hang yourself in the air for long, for spectators will get ansy and start really probing. When you come down you need to "misdirect" them again so that you can put your leg back into the pant and shoe. And now you have appeared to float/levitate/rise off the ground.

Let me know if you find out, but he isn't the first person to levitate. I would love to see him in person but at the same time, he freaks me out on tv in a weird spiritual way.....makes me want to back away inspite of the masses thinking hes cool.

If he is not doing tricks then he is possessed by a demon. And if it is a trick, do you think he would really reveal them?
