Criss Angel Roller Coaster Escape

A little while ago it was announced that Criss Angel is working with Cirque Du Soleil on a new show for the Luxor. Well as part of a publicity stunt and for his show Mind Freak he did a rather impressive illusion using Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus.
Personally I much prefer this to Lance Burtons escape from the tracks of Desperado. Lance relied on camera trickery and wasn't on the track at the same time as the train. Where as Criss Angel used real magic and no actual camera tricks.

Check it out over on You Tube

Different people in the front row of the train.

Well obviously, Criss couldn't have been in the front row at the start as he was in the drum at the time. The girl passenger remains the same.

I htink what you actually mean is the shot which looks like the front of the train but is acutally about car 2 or 3, the train stretches much further forward.
