obviously actors, and obviously cut and editied. i mean, when you do magic you dont want it to be impossible to where there is no extra alternative of performing the trick, you want to make it seem like there is a "gap" you missed to clarify that the trick was legitamite. cause who want's to see 3 lame actors (including chris angel) just waste time with editing. what happened to the real "magic"( kinda contradictory)
