A friend e-mailed to tell me she had seen a pathetic infomercial of Criss Angel hawking his magic kit. There is a pretty amusing clip of him doing same on some shopping network. My head got dizzy as host and magician could not even keep clear if the kit was a $250 value or had 250 tricks. Or, maybe each trick is worth $1. To save you some money, here is Criss Angel for free explaining how he levitates. The downside is that this magic requires you to spend more than $1, because you must cut open the front of your pants so that your leg can lift you up while the rear fabric stays pants straight: ta-dah—LEVITATION. I’ve also included Angel as busker and huckster because of how well he fits into the world of Martha Stewart and Suzanne Summers.

Ok, what Criss Angel does is pure marketing. There are real escape artists out there without much fuss. David Merlini is one of them
I see Criss is still dating Sandra. He has been dating her for years. How come she still looks like a kid. Did he put a magic trick on her where she will never grown up into a woman?
He started dating her when she was 19 (but looked 15 years old) and years later she still looks like a 15 year old.
Mexican chickie Sandra is still in Criss life?
Criss & Sandra use the same plastic surgeon?
Criss goes from dating buxom blonde bombshells to mexican teenager,
WTF?
That little chick of his never smiles. Maybe she wears braces.
I could care less who he’s dating. This guy is scum, doesn’t deserve headlining a show on the famed Las Vegas Strip and has absolutely zero talent. He totally is out of his element headlining a show.
Don’t believe me? Go to http://www.yelp.com, type in “criss angel believe” and “las vegas, nv.” As of today, there are 235 reviews from tourists who visited Las Vegas and went to this horrible show at the Luxor. Out of a maximum of five stars, Criss Angel Believe averages only one and a half stars. And the average has never gotten above two stars. It has steadily remained below even the slightest entertainment value at all. Not even able to reach acceptable.
There are pages after pages of disgruntled tourists who were simply not satisfactorily entertained, felt totally and completely ripped off and went away from that show with the confirmation they wasted their money and time.
This idiot so called magician, operating under the protective umbrella of a rip off worldwide entertainment company (Cirque du Soleil), has been doing this sub-standard show for far too long. And basically giving a black mark to Las Vegas.
If you don’t believe what you read at yelp.com, then ask any maid, desk clerk, taxi driver, anyone that works along the Strip about this show. I can easily predict ninety percent of the time, you’ll get the honest recommendation not to pay money for this below average show and your money would be more wisely spent elsewhere.
It has already been confirmed that Cirque du Soleil backs Criss Angel to the hilt, even when he embarrasses them acting like a horse’s ass (like he’s done various times in the past). They only want to recoup their $100 million they spent on this show, even if they have to take it out on the audience to help pay for a piece of crap show. From all indications, Criss Angel can show up naked, slaughter a cow onstage, curse at the audience and recite north Korean propaganda; and Cirque du Soleil will scramble around looking for something to say to the public as an excuse for his behavior; and it’s guaranteed Criss Angel will still have his show, only getting a maximum of a slap on the wrist for reprehensible behavior.
Tourists are warned. Stay away from the Luxor and this train wreck of a show. I’m not making this stuff up.
It’s okay if you don’t believe me, but PLEASE, PLEASE do check other valid sources first before even thinking about buying tickets. My only interest is make sure tourists know the truth.
who cares colin whatever criss angel did in the past.
he’s still a caring man from New York, just got jaded with the fame & fortune his career brought him.
The best thing Criss is doing now is keeping his private life private. He should have kept Holly HO Madison a private matter. Many fans walked away from Criss for dating this no talent girl who only got to where she is because of her fake boobs and being a bed partner for an old man.
At least now he is keeping his 20 year old g/f hidden where she should be. He looks way to silly with her to show her off.
It is nice to read about him without seeing the whore of Holly or the Kid of Sandra and just see him working and promoting himself without who he is dating.
Criss Angel started learning the tricks and trades of magic and illusion when he was six years old. that is really great.
