His version of Houdini's Metamorphosis is badass!

For those that don't know the original illusion, Houdini was chained in a burlap sack, then locked in a trunk. His assistant would shut the trunk, then hold up a curtain for 3 seconds. When he dropped it, Houdini was there and the assistant was in the trunk, chained in the sack... it was an amazing trick!

Criss Angel does it with nothing but a pyrotechnic! There is no curtain- a giant blast of fire come up, and it's him standing there instead of the assistant! One of the coolest illusions ever! I love it when people take a classic illusion (even one that everyone knows the secret to) and update it or add their own twist.
