Criss Angel [MindFreak]

[Decado]

Currently regarded as one of the greatest Magician/Mindfreak = going beyond that of an ordinary magician, in the world (the most successful ever). His illusions are amazing. Does anyone follow this talent? If not I suggest obtaining copies of his DVD seasons - the youtube ones hardly show anything.

He is an illusionist, musician, escapologist, stunt performer, and actor.

Criss Angel won the Academy of Magical Arts' Magician of the Year award in 2005 and the IMS Magician of the year in 2001 and 2004. And other awards.

He just the did the most dangerous escape stunt ever performed, Live (today).

Wasn't he also the first person to successfully complete the burial act?

his show is really awesome. there was this one trick he did where he swallowed a quarter and you can see it going down his left arm and then he cuts a little slit on his arm and pulls the quarter out. it was so sick and amazing. i have no idea how he does that stuff. its crazy

[Hime-chan]

^ I haven't seen that one

my favorite two was the one when he walks on water and when he made some lady float in the air, it looked pretty neat ^_^

[mishaxelle]

yeah i remember watching that one. its funny how he took a manikin and used it as a girlfriend. and then he did some awesome thing where he made her come to life. i was like whoa.

[Hime-chan]

lol yeah that was awesome XD, I remember another one when he was flying O_O,

[mishaxelle]

I don't know how credible this is, but this is one of his tricks "revealed"

whoa thats really interesting. i would have never been able to see that little shadow move. but still, criss angel and crew must be extremely smart to pull all that off. and there are still some tricks he does that i have no idea how it would be fake O:

[Decado]

lulz. No one really believes he can do magic. Of course it's a stunt.

He's said many times that his art is to connect with the audience on an emotional level, and has little to do with "magic"

My favourite ones are his making things appear acts/disappearing.

For example, with audience all around him in a 360 range of vision, he throws a sheet over a car and removes it instantly. The car is gone and 6 women are standing there.


Or when a car is speeding towards him, he throws a sheet over himself and the car slams through the sheet - and he's gone of course. Can't remember but I think he turns out to be the driver as well.

Also the smaller ones like getting a wedding ring stuck in ice, etc.
