Does anyone have a video of the egg illusion the one with lady in egg thing and her head, hands, and legs sticking out? Looks like a stretcher illusion
You are reacting to only a small portion of one trick in a much larger show. Andre always told his audiences that everything he did was a trick and that he had no magical powers. Had you the privilege of seeing his show, you would have seen a compelling presentation of Jesus' love bolstered by entertaining tricks to help illustrate some points. You can also read on his Wiki page how Andre was a close friend and collaborator with David Copperfield. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Kole
First of all his "definition" of religion is sorely inadequate. In the academic world we don't even have a SOLID definition that covers it. Complex phenomena deserve complex explanations. Second; his claim about his show being the only place in town that remained lit while the rest of the town was out of power is a nice little story, but it would be more believable if he would tell us where and when these two "miracles" happened. It would enable us to check him on his claims. I don't accept a person at face value when they're trying to sell me something by aggrandizing their own experiences. By telling this story we only have his word, and that is NOT evidence. If you make an extraordinary claim, you better have extraordinary evidence...or just plain solid evidence, to prove your case.
