Exclusive footage reveals a possible explanation

TAMPA - Expectations were high when illusionist Criss Angel announced that he would use the implosion of a Clearwater Beach hotel as a platform for his last death-defying stunt.  But after the Wednesday night escape appeared to go awry, some viewers were skeptical of what they had just seen.

Thursday, some of us here at FOX 13 spotted inconsistencies in the footage, including a suspicious shadowy figure on our own SkyFOX video. 

So was it magic?  We report, you decide.

SPOILER ALERT!  DO NOT READ ON OR WATCH THE VIDEO UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW CRISS MAY HAVE PULLED OFF HIS 'ESCAPE.'

What the show claimed would happen:
Criss Angel was supposed to escape from his handcuffs and pick the locks on his sixth-floor balcony door, then pick several more locks en route to the roof of the building.  Once there, he would be whisked to safety by helicopter moments before the building blew.

Read what actually happened here.

SINC SAYS:

This guy has always kind of creeped me out anyway. Nice to know it's all trickery.
