Authentic Self

Criss Angel & The Law of Attraction

I was watching Criss Angel Mindfreak late last night with my husband. (I think that it’s the coolest show ever! Magic and illusions have always fascinated me, ever since watching David Copperfield perform on TV…and doing that “press your finger to the tv on one of the 12 symbols” at 10 years old. Does anyone else remember that?)


Anyway, one of the “tricks” he did involved using energy to get a long lost friend to call a participant.


Let me explain…


So Criss explained to everyone that everything is energy and that a bunch of people, thinking positively about one thing, could in fact cause that very thing to come into reality (aka “manifest” according to us Law of Attraction people).


He had a group of maybe, 100 -150 people, and he made a big deal out of randomly tossing his wrist band, and then having that person toss it again, and then toss it again. So he was separated from the first person 2x.

 

Then he picked 10 others and lined them up. He walked back and forth in front of them until the other person (the one who caught the wrist band) said “stop.”

All completely randomized.


He stopped on command in front of a young woman with the coolest hair I’ve ever seen. (It was short and had crazy pink streaks. I loved it!)


He asked her, (I’ll call her Jen, but I can’t remember her real name) to hand over her cell phone. Criss gave it to the other girl who had caught the wrist band.


He then asked “jen” to think of someone who she hasn’t talked to in a while, and really wanted to hear from. He asked her to vaguely describe her. Jen talked about Sloane, who is 5′8″, thin, long dark hair, curvy.


Criss asked everyone to think of Sloane. To picture her sillouette, while thinking (but not saying out loud) “Call, Sloane, call!”


Of course, Criss made it dramatic and he got progressively louder. After the 5th “call, Sloane, call!” The phone went off!!!


Guess who it was…Yep. It was a text message from Sloane saying, “Hey [jen] just thinking about you, haven’t talked in a while. Call me.”


Crazy!!! It gets better. Jen hadn’t talked to Sloane in nearly 7 years. They were previously really close.


All I could say was, wow. But I wasn’t really surpirsed. My husband that it was a load of wack, but how can you argue with that? Really.. How else can you explain that?

Point to ponder: What are you thinking? Are you dialed in to group think, in a bad way? Or are you consciously creating your own reality?

 

I tried to find the segment on You-Tube. It’s not available any more, or maybe I just couldn’t find it. If anyone knows the episode I’m talking about, and knows where to find it online, let me know and I’ll post a link to it.

    Hi Kim, Great post! I love this example of “everything is energy”… How someone could dismiss it as coincidence is beyond me ;) Besides, I prefer to believe that we live in a world where we’re all connected and where we really can create our reality. I think it would be pretty lonely to believe anything else. Just saying he he.

    Thanks Gina! I am with you. I rest better knowing that ultimately I control my destiny. There is just too much evidence regarding “group think” for anything else to be possible.
