Chris and his counterpart David Blaine are easily mockable. Hyper-self-serious, humorless, joyless. Very self-important. Pathetically they follow around thier own street audience to ask again and again, "what did you think of that trick? What do you think of me?"
My 13-year old is a "serious" magician, active in magic orgs and practices daily without prompting. He admires both Chris Angel and David Blaine and hope to "be like them."
I'm allowing him to watch thier stunts, over and over, hoping that as he matures he will see how immature they both are. Magic is wonderful, but it should bring joy and wonder, not self-centered stunts for attention.
