Vegas greatest magicians and Criss Angel

UntitledSiegfried & Roy were honored yesterday at the closing ceremony of the World Magic Seminar. Penn’s Tweet about the occasion: “Honoring Siegfried & Roy. Criss Angel, Lance Burton, P&T all speechified. S&R invented an art form. Wow. Roy is so wonderfully bugnutty.” Actually, Penn kind of looks like he is keeping a steadying hand on the shoulder of his delinquent little brother. (photo: Courtesy Lance Burton)

    Great photo. No matter what your opinion is about Criss Angel, the fact is, he is standing there with the “greatest”. It’s great that S & R were honored. I never had the pleasure of seeing them on stage in person but they are legendary. Congrats to S & R.

  2. @RunawaySoul. Sorry it went out with the spelling error but once I had saved the draft I was stuck with that mistake. But the published item already had the fix in it, and so if you look at the headline magician has already been changed. I can’t change the Tweet because it is automatically generated.

    One of life’s little imperfections. Sorry, your pleasure was ruined. Maybe you can think of it as a magic trick where I made the “i” vanish like Criss does the “h.” Yrs. Richard

    That’s right everyone, he put Criss’ name in the same line as “Greatest Magicians”! You are soooo absolutely right, Richard! We all knew deep down you liked Criss!!

  4. Well, that is one way to read it. But to be a great Vegas magician, Criss Angel, needs to do a great show here. Believe is not that show. The magic is only that an audience shows up for a laughably bad show. I don’t dislike him, but the show is beyond awful and getting worse as they make space for new illusions that are not yet in the show. Can you say rip-off? Yrs, Richard

    I think that’s great that the current magicians in Las Vegas honor Siegfried & Roy. Because this duo actually started grandiose over-the-top magic shows headlining the Strip. And this was back in the day when casino owners used to say magic would never work in Las Vegas. So, Siegfried & Roy were the trendsetters, proving everyone wrong, the front runners, the ones that everyone else was able to capitalize off of to set up their own shows.

    That is quite a line up to honor them.

    But…..

    I see something wrong with the picture you provided with the blog article though, Richard.

    I guess it’s all a matter of perception, but I read that picture a different way.

    There’s someone in the picture that don’t fit.

    I’ll give you a hint: Look for the no talent douchebag dressed all in black who seems to never, ever be able to figure out how to wear a baseball cap the right way and, as an additional hint for those that are incredibly dense, study carefully and look for the knucklehead standing all the way over on the right hand side of the picture.

    Although I do have to point out this is the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of this douche nozzle where he’s not doing that finger thing and flashing pseudo gang style rapper wannabe signs and acting like he’s on the cover of some poor man’s Mick Jagger big hair 1980s rock and roll compact disc. I guess he decided to tone it down and play pocket pool in this photo because he realized he wasn’t supposed to be the center of attention so it was advisable to not do that news whore act he likes to do.

  6. Anybody Know?

    Does anybody know if Criss is still dating that boney teenager? He seems to keep her hidden. Can’t blame him for hiding her lol.

  7. Loyal Cindy

    Yes Criss is very much still involved with Sandra. She isn’t a teenager anymore she just turned 21. Expect for Sandra to be his love of his life for a long time.

    Let’s move on this article is not about his love life.

  8. Samantha

    I used to be such a Criss Angel fan from Mindfreak until Criss Angel admitted to dating the BIMBO Holly Ho Madison.

    Now I turn the channels if his name is mentioned!!!!!

  9. Gail

    Richard, any insight you can share as to why Criss Angel is dating that teenager Sandra or is that really his daughter?

  10. Grossed Out

    Isn’t Criss 45 years old? What is he doing with a 20 year old? And where are her PARENTS!!!.

  11. Mary_Believe

    People are so quick to judge…. Who cares who he’s with?

  12. LoveURichard

    Yeah, Mary would say that-who cares who he’s with. Because if he was ever w/this skanky, lying, backstabbing ick, everyone would complain. Sandra at least seems decent and isn’t sending nude pics of herself to Criss like Mary did & tying up his tweet timeline w/psycho garbage, stalking him—LOVE UUUUUUU. Gross. Get a life or get sober! Check out Criss’ tweet timeline Richard, its boring & stupid. I cant BELIEVE he allows her garbage!

    Last time I was at Believe, left side was empty!

  13. LoyalAmy

    And there IS a reason Legendary David Copperfield is not included in this pic, it was HIS CHOICE. He sent a beautifully written statement for Siegfried and Roy to be read aloud instead.

  14. Paula

    Sandra is Criss’ DAUGHTER!

    How dare everybody think he would date a 20 year old.

  15. Amanda

    Criss married that boney teenager Sandra.

  16. FOXGIRL

    How come his girl Sandra never seems to grow up. I understand he started dating her when she was a teen and they have been together for years but she still looks like a teenager.

    Doesn’t Sandra ever grow up? Will she ever be a woman? Or does Criss Angel like to keep them looking like a child?

  17. A & E DISCUSSION BOARD

    Even Criss Angel’s fans think his girlfriend Sandra is a joke. This is from the A&E discussion Board:

    Criss’ “girlfriend”
    Anyone know anything about her, how old she is, where she came from? She looks young enough to be his daughter…Was watching the 5th season of Mindfreak and every time she showed up it kinda creeped me out cause she looks soo young and tiny. I had sen photos of her when he was chick bouncing a few years ago, but I thought he was with someone else, some blonde, not Holly, but another girl….

    Re: Criss’ “girlfriend”
    I noticed this Leanna person is a bit addicted, but I still would like an answer to the question. The girl is far too young (looking at least). I mean she doesn’t look old enough to even be allowed in the casino! I know Criss has a thing for picking easy to control women, but this is a bit much. I hope she only looks super young and is actually like late 20s or something…

  18. In the know

    Criss is still dating Sandra and yes she is a KID. She is 21 years old but I agree she looks like a 16 year old kid.

  19. T. MAGLARES

    BRAVO TO CHRISS’S TALENT AS A MAGICIAN.

    KALA HRISTOUYIENNA, MR. ANGEL.

  20. Jenny

    I think Sandra is beautiful. If she makes him happy, thats wonderful. She keeps to herself and seems sweet. Robin Leach is a lying douche, he ‘made up’ that Criss was dating Rima. Rima is dating some baseball player. Criss flirts with everyone! He makes his fans ‘think’ they have a chance with him if they keep coming back to see his show, he will date them. Meanwhile he rakes in the $$$. I think everything out of his mouth is fake, including the love for his dad/mom and his cat.

    On twitter, any celebrity can DM anyone, even though they are not following them. Criss is very flirtatious, I heard he sets up ‘meets’ that way, but to him the girls are just F**k buddies. Girls will sleep with ANY celebrity, just to brag about it-how can any guy respect that? I just hope Criss doesnt get trapped or blackmailed by these trashy Loyals. He’s setting himself up to be the perfect patsy.

    You should hear how Criss ‘Loyals’ talk about him behind his back, they make fun of his magic, think he is uneducated, make fun of the way he dresses and talks, then swoon over him in person. They all claim that without Criss they would never have met and become friends, but in reality they can’t stand each other. I was sitting next to a table of ‘Loyals” once in Luxor and they non-stop trashed everything about Criss, then claimed ‘yeah, but I’d still like to F**k him’.

    I heard Mateo acts as Criss’ pimp and uses his friendship with Criss to get girls for himself. He tells them he will set up a meet w/Criss if they will sleep with him. Mateo is gross. I even heard that if you don’t sleep with Criss, he bans you from his show!

    I also know for a fact that Mateo is still friends w/Holly, so he rats to Holly all about Criss. He is NO friend of Criss, just using him to get girls and further his tiny career. Criss is the worst judge of character and is a HUGE FOOL if he thinks Mateo is his loyal patron! Without Criss, Mateo couldn’t pick up ANY girl, unless he is either w/Criss at clubs or uses Criss’ name. Mateo is Trash.

    Then there are his ‘Psycho Loyals’ who send him nude pics, hang at Luxor in gangs of drunken 40-yr. old females hoping to ‘party with him’, etc. Most of them are horny married women w/kids, who think they have a chance to ‘hook’ Criss, so they can retire and HE can support them. Then there are the 16-19 yr. olds who stalk him. They all want to move to Vegas and work only at the Luxor, so they can be near him. Too bad NONE of them are even remotely good looking. If Criss were EVER to be seen w/these girls, it would finish his career, he would look like the Biggest Loser!

    I live in Vegas and should write a book about everything I know about this situation, it would pretty much finish Criss.

    Sandra is all hair. If you look at her face she is not pretty at all. She also has a very skinny body and looks 17 years old.

    I think she is with Criss for the money. The guy is 20 plus years older then she is. He could be her Father. She is most likely so into the money that she doesn’t care that he screws around.

    I think she is a go fetch girl for him.

  22. Marla Kimmel

    Criss Angel is now dating that beauty queen Rima Fakih.

  23. Blackfish

    Rima Fakih said on her twitter that she isn’t dating Criss Angel they are just friends. Didn’t Holly HO say the same thing and then WOW look they are a couple.

    They all lie.
