True on the radio incident. False on the banning innuendo.

yes people can predict #'s. However both he David Blain are both banned from gambling at Casinos I know for sure. On one of C. Angels shows - the following occured:

He went to a radio station - bringing along a bag of balls, a tape recorder, a brief case as well as w/ an armored truck (loomis, Fargo..i.e)

In the radio station he predicted 4 #'s and wrote them down on a peice of paper. He asked the radio DJ to pick a ball from the bag of balls.

He recorded the 4 #'s he had written down... [ More ]

Are you referring to the on-line gambling that has been in the news lately? If you are, that will apply to all gamblers.

Please post the website or document that has Chris Angel banned from gambling. Most of us here at one time or another actually *guess/predict* hits and I've yet to hear us being banned for making such a prediction. There is more to the story then the blanket statement. Banned from which state? For how long? Which type of gambling? Horseraces, casinos/card games/sports booking

Sorry, Excalibur, but I must respond to what you have posted.

I could not agree more with your statements. Filters and patterns (which in some cases are the same) are extremely powerful tools which, if employed properly, will result in a win.

I will go even further and say that filters and patterns are the only way to go. Mathematical statistics are nice but there has not been found a correlation between random selections and mathematics as of this date.

I am not condemming those

I agree that anyone with a single ticket can win a lottery; whether they're a magician or not.

What really impresses me is that couple from Belmont, California who won both the $126,000 Fantasy Five jackpot and the $17 Million Dollar SuperLottoPlus with their own numbers

... winning both jackpots on the same day! (Nov 20, 2002 drawing)

superlottoplus 7,10,21,41,47 +mega4 fantasyfive 15,18,26,35,37

now that's real magic

Excalibur:

I agree with you, special software need to be made...There are lots of things i will like to do, and can't do it because the technology to do what i will like them to do with the combinations doesn't exist...

...More important than winning all of the states' lotteries is the movie Red Planet ......

You have been using some lottery filters for jackpot games for quite a long time and so have other people, but those games have way too many possible combinations that makes things very much more complicated, but things are compensated to some degree by the fact that those games also have more possible filters that can be used on them, filters are better used with software mostly with jackpot kind of games, as wholesale multiple filtering in many ways might be needed a person might not be able t...

If a lottery winner was asked if he would rather have a million dollars or see someone walk up a building's wall upright, I have no doubt what his answer would be.

RJOh — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 07:02:15 GMT

In other words if someone gave you $1500-$3000, you could ALMOST guarantee you would win a PB jackpot worth anywhere from $6M-$100M in three months or less, the only thing holding you back is a $12 limit you have placed on yourself.

I guess that's why the rich get richer, they wouldn't wait for someone else to give them $3000 to spend for a guaranteed $6,000,000.00.

I think Criss Angel already shattered the odds, because some of the things he does surpasses Powerball in odds...Example, if i could walk on water the way he does, i bet i can talk up a rich person into giving me all of her/his fortune if i can walk on water and they would make the bet...For example, i always thought that to see someone walk up the wall of a building upright would require 1 million dollars before you can see it (one of those things that only money could buy)...But thanks to Cris...

I could ALMOST Guarantee you that if you give me between $180 and $360 PER DRAWING NIGHT, I could win at least the PB Pick 5 in 3 months, maybe even 2. However, the red ball: that damned thing just escapes me almost every time.

I pick my numbers based on a theory I can afford (I'm bound and determined not to go over $12 MAX per drawing, and I usually play just $6 or $9), it may take a longshot to win it, but it's ALL a longshot, if it wasn't, the pot would be won every single night.... [ More ]

Pumpi, I hope the lottery is a game of chance and the drawings are random. If this holds true, then a magician can't have any better odds of winning than we do. Illusionists are entertainers who use physics, light and quick movements to amaze onlookers. It takes a lot of practice, talent and slight of hand. Chance can't possibly fall into their acts. They need to be very precise or the game's over.

BTW, nobody can pass through a pane of glass. The only thing that passes through glass without... [ More ]

I could start a thread on it, but I have given the state lotteries too much rope already and they are hanging me with it.

EXCALIBUR,

Are you saying something you posted in a thread at LP gave state lotteries an advantage over players like yourself that they didn't have before? Since the states already know it would you mind reposting the information for those of us who missed it the first time

TheGameGrl — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 03:21:37 GMT

Since the original question was *COULD* he win. Sure! and so *COULD* I. The difference is being in the right place with the right numbers with the right amount of play money! I think as a lady I can make money disappear real quick at a shoe outlet :) but that doesnt make me a magician, just a fool about shoes!

Chris is an amazing artist and I agree that he is more about the notoriety and creating that human interest in the mystery of things then he is about the money! I commend persons who en... [ More ]

Prediction of events, lottery or not, that is very interesting, I could right quite some, quoting the pick 3 lottery, on that.

People who needed to learn didn't, but the states' lotteries did learn for sure.

I've heard of 2 people who won the lottery twice...I think it was massachussets, where a person won the pick6 twice...There was also another person from England that won the lottery over there and then traveled to Brazil and won it there too...

I think i might have heard of a guy that won it twice but don't know where he is from, but i do know that his next step was to go to kentucky and bet on horses....

There are several PowerBall winners that will make more than $12M this year also. I've never heard of Criss Angel, but had he won the PB jackpot more than once, I would probably know him. A lot of people know of Jack Whittaker and he only won it once.

Criss is a talented magician / illusionist and I'm sure he is well paid.

He doesn't need a lottery jackpot......

Coin toss,

I know you were going to say that but why try and predict the winning of nascar cars? is a random phenomena too..Also there are magicians that money to them don't matter, they are seeking recognition and fame...Also, i think this guy does the thing he does to prove it can be done, because no matter how much they pay me, i WILL NOT burry myself in a coffin beneath the ground/soil with hand cuffs, and chains, no matter how much money they gave me...

I have seen this magician before and he does do crazy things like other magicians such as David Blaine. But I think if he wanted to win the powerball he should go and get a QP and wait for his numbers to show up. Besides I am sure he is of legal age to play lottery and he has been a magician for awhile. Their have been plenty of jackpots he could of tried to win.-weshar75

Could Criss Angel win Powerball??

Have anyone of you heard of Criss Angel?
