Ok, I'm sorry if this offends anyone. I believe Criss Angel is a very talented magician and all but it seems as if he's doing witchcraft and the devil's work. You know how he levitates and levitates other people and such? But HOW can he be doing witchcraft when he's always wearing a crucifix around his neck. Because you know how the Devil is very frightened of God. Help??? : /

Ok, so you're saying I'm not being sensible? I know one of you has seen him/or magic in person, but you others haven't even seen him in person so you don't really know if it's real or not! : P

I've answered this kind of question before, and is amazing the impact that one artist can create, because people have doubts if his performances are real or not (and some even mentioned a relation whit the devil...!). But before him there have been hundreds of others magic performers who have been accused of having bonds with the dark side, and in older times they were burned in a pile and were just jugglers!.
Criss Angel is an illusionist, and a very good one. Period. What proves it is the fact that there are so many people analyzing what he does. Maybe part of the impact came from his look, that rock star style is far from the classic tuxedo and top hat image we have of what a magician should be (crucifix included...)
But he is just a magician and he'd NEVER claimed anything different than that. If the people began to imagine something else, is because they were impressed and as they can't find a quick and logical explanation, they tend to imagine it's a paranormal stuff.
Because he levitates is a warlock? Hardly. It's just an illusion and the devil has nothing to do with it. And if he was into witchcraft, do you really believe that a simple crucifix will stop it? Maybe it can stop a vampire in a Hollywood movie, but even that is questionable...
Some things will never change, and tendency of people to believe is one of those.

Magicians are illusionists. They use the power of suggestion and illusion to trick the mind. Yes, some use "witchcraft". Don't believe everything you see.
The Devil is not afraid of God. He choose to lead a rebellion( the falling of Lucifer) against God. If you were afraid of someone, would you lead a rebellion against him? The Devil often spoke with God.(Read the book of Job) Yet he is much weaker than God, he is not Frightened by God.
Back to your question, a crucifix does not stop witchcraft.

He's not doing devil's work.. its not like he levitates someone, and drops them in the ocean or anything. It's harmless. He does it to entertain and shock people.

I don't watch television, but I presume he's one of these magicians dressed in very gothic clothing, doing grand melodramatic gestures, with a look on his face that is trying to convey that he's DEEP, and with lame foreboding music playing.
Am I correct?

It's TV. Everything is staged and all the "innocent victims" are in on it. I witnessed this once in Vegas.
Typical smoke and mirrors...literally!

He doesn't really do it. Come on. You are being ridiculous, does it really matter what he believes and wears if what he is doing isn't real.
