Macabre magic has reached a new height with illusionist Criss Angel. After performing his tricks for millions on TV shows and at live performances, he decided to take his act to a nearby park. The day was bright and sunny as a small crowd gathered around Angel to see what he had in store for them.

He convinced his two volunteers, one male and one female, to each lie down on a bench so that he could begin the theatrical. The spectators watched with anticipation as the magician asked audience members to hold the arms and legs of the outstretched volunteers. Meanwhile a woman in the crowd was recording the event with the female participant’s cell phone.

After asking if everyone was ready, Criss walked over to the woman in the purple shirt who was lying on the bench. He tapped on her midsection a few times, then shouted “Pull! Pull! Pull!”

People screamed in horror as each of the volunteers was ripped into two pieces. The magician then placed the woman’s torso in the grass and brought the man’s torso to the woman’s legs. He retrieved the woman’s torso as she tried to escape and placed it on the man’s legs.

With the observers scrambling away, Angel advised his volunteers to relax. The man and woman both stood up and saw that they were each attached to the other’s legs. While they shouted in exasperation, Criss Angel calmly strolled away.
