it's a cool trick, i do know how it's done, but i think revealing how a trick works takes most of the fun out of it.
The two holding the paper and the guy that walked inside with him are his assistants. Notice how the two holding the paper are bracing their arms against the window frame and not holding the paper tightly to the glass. This video is simple but correct in revealing the trick. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/519421/criss_angel_through_glass_revealed/ Don't forget, if it was really magic he wouldn't need the paper!
Haven't watched it, but do they slide the pane up in the frame? His "assistants" hide the fact. Edit: watched it. No need to answer. CW
Just to add insult to injury, fire the camera man while his assistants are getting their acting lessons.
AFAIK... Levitation... it's a pair of custom pants/shoes... he is actually balancing on the ball of one foot. The way the camera angles, you can't see it... but imagine if you had a pair of black pants and had a slit in the side.... you put your shoes together, then velcro or something holds them together. Your shoe and pants with the slit in the side let you pop your foot out and put it on the ground, where you then rise up on the ball of that foot while your other foot (and your sneaker from your bare foot) both appear to rise together. As for walking on water, I heard they put cylinders in the water at selected locations for the guy to talk on... cylinders made of glass or acrylic so they look water-clear.
