People who butt into your life that they shouldn't talk about.
People who allude to other events in a thread.
I'd like to see proof, please. Mostly out of interest, though I do like his more extreme tricks.
Well, many of his tricks are reliant on angle, but most of them has people from all angles seeing it. For example, his levitation trick.

People who tell news in such a way that details become completely muddled, just asking for people to misinterpet, and then go all emo on us after said misinterpretation "YOU DON'T UNDERSTANDZ MY LIFZ KK! I'MA GO SLASH MYSELF!", even though they were totally fucking asking for it.

Not naming any names here.

You know what really Grinds my Gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping? And thats what Grinds my Gears.

It seems that I've been fired. I have one last thing to say. You know what really Grinds my Gears? You America. *@&$ you.

I don't really hate America, but the media has taught me to be anti-American. I want to visit America one day so that I can get over my pre-dispositions against America and its people.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were playing "Who can quote Family Guy"

Granted, a lot of Americans are... stupid, to use an understatement, but not everyone's a dumbshit over here. Come visit, and hope you meet someone who's IQ is above their shoe size. They're more common than you'd think, actually.

My gears are ground when people overreact. "OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TO OFFEND YOU I FEEL TERRIBLE LIKE IM MELTING INSIDE.... OH GOD PLEASE FORGIVE ME"

The phrase "no offense". It can be paired with anything in a vain attempt to sound friendly. "Your music sucks, no offense" "You are a jackass, no offense" "You can kiss my ass, no offense"

Youch. That hurt.

Anyone disproved the "I get completly sawed in half while keeping my body entirely visible" trick? Seriously, that must be hard to disprove, unless he uses cheap digital effects in that one...

EDIT: Ah it seems it was revealed.

Criss Angel is so incredibly cheesy and obvious that it's amusing. His 'walk on water' stunt is obviously a pair of invisible wires.

Gear grindage ensues when Moderators (and Admins) who abuse their powers on forums and such, and you can't stop them because, hey, guess what, they're admins and mods! (Referring to a different forum, not the Hive.)

I'm pretty sure there are many real magicians out there. Most do stage, though, because it's easier, but you have to have real showmanship and make it more impressive.

Anyhow, Criss Angel is about as authentic a street magician as this guy (but not nearly as hilarious).

The guy in the vid obviously wasn't David Blaine, but ok.

The sphere thing obviously wasn't supposed to be a magic trick. It was a stunt. Yeah, people can do more things than one.

@Everyone who says Criss Angel ROXX:

I did a bit of magic myself like 2-3 years ago, just when Criss Angel started showing up. I knew how most of his tricks were done, most were camera shits.

I remember one guy saying that Criss Angel was in his neighborhood, so he wanted to go see him. He arrived at the location, and there was some guard dude that stopped him and asked "Are you one of the extras?". So he said no, and the guard told him to leave -.-

But yeah he r00lz and it's real magic, his mind is freaky and makes things float.
