Amazing Levitation of a Cult Leader

Posted by Alex in Paranormal on August 1, 2007 at 4:02 pm


If Chris Angel can levitate, then so can Shoko Asahara, the cult leader of Aum Shinrikyo crazies in Japan:

He came to public notice through an article in the popular "Twilight Zone" magazine that showed him supposedly levitating in a yoga pose. Yoga exponents had practiced the technique, which consisted of flexing the thigh muscles to imitate levitation, for centuries.

    More jarring to your spine than a sled ride down a bumpy hill.

    Doug Henning, the late hippie magician who was very popular on TV in the 80s, fell in with Marharishi Yogi and a bunch of loons that practised "yogic flying".

    They hopped around the studio looking foolish claiming they could develop their 'power' to be able to fly.

    It was a real shame he wasted his talents the last decade of his life getting wrapped up with the bunch and stopped performing....

    haha funny. I was going to say he's just doing that Yoga "bouncing with your legs crossed" thing. Silly.

    He looks like he's falling, not levitating.

    I think there is a daikon radish sticking out of the wall behind him and he's clenching it in his buttcheeks.

    It's not "Chris Angel", it's "Criss Angel". He's much too cool to spell his name right.

    This is also the nut who convinced his followers to release deadly Sarin gas in the Tokyo subway.

    The real Yogic Fliers are going to be mad that he is stealing their gig. They run for political office up here during Canadian elections and if they ever get into government they might declare a transcendentally peaceful military action against Japan if they don't turn Shoko Asahara over. Nice to see that the poison gas freak is looking so well. He seems to have traded in this P.J.s for a swimsuit and the butt bouncing seems like good exercise.
