Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on June 10, 2007, 12:00:36 pm
anybody else a fan of his show? i looove him, he never ceases to amaze me. After he levitated himself & a couple other people outside in the middle of a park where there was no possible way a rope or anything could've helped him or the other people float in the air thats when I knew he was the real deal. He also levitated in a million other places it was so funny everyone was like wtf cuz when he was walking around he would all of a sudden just start floating lol.

His show is on A&E every WEDNESDAY at 10pm.

I met him in Las Vegas doing his show at the Aladdin hotel. Really nice guy.

I still can't figure out how he pulled his mom out of a suitcase....
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on June 10, 2007, 07:09:10 pm

I love the show, but it's not airing here at the moment. I've only seen it a few times because it was shown at strange times... 1, 2, 3am!  :?

He's a cool dude. I love his rockstar hair  8)

the suitcase was on a table not on the floor. It was really cool...I was looking for ways he might have snuck his mama in!!! I still can't figure out.

If you really want to see him hang around the Aladdin late at night, he's around.

David Blaine is better....come on we know it!!

Criss Angel is still pretty awesome though. But its simple- after all levitating is so easy, its all a clever illusion.

O_O hes awesome!

and levitating, not like how he does it like 5 feet up lol but to make it look like you are you just stand at a angle, your back to whoever your showing, and go on your tiptoes with one foot, with the foot you keep still to the side of it. Its kinda confusing when i explain it lol

also, i like david blaine just coz i havent seen criss angel's shows. They dont show them over here to my knowledge  :razz:

He's so damn sexy. I think I like Cris more because I have seen more of him with his show on pretty much everyday in re-runs.

His stuff seriously trips me out. I have no idea how he does it, except when he showed us the coin and the floating cup ones. When he did the lightbulb show in the lamp shop, that was just crazy. Or putting the ladies ring in the ice cube. The guitar string, no idea. How he did the levitating in the Luxor Light, or any of it for that matter.

What about when he was walking on the pool and people were swimming under him?  :roll:

Let, I saw that. I kept thinking "Huh!?" He's really good.

I can't say David Blaine gets reactions out of me like that. He's always doing card tricks or other...boring stuff. :X

He is soo hot omg I havent had a crush on a performer since matthew jordan (hopefully hes not reading this cuz he has an account here hehe).

when he does little levetations you can find out that secret on youtube, but the building ones i still cant friggin figure out how he does that.

me & my friends were watching the walking on water one the other day & all we could come up with was that they put something on the areas he walked on that we couldnt see.

The dude is freaky. How the hell did he levitate over a tree? Or take a ring, and put it in a slice a bread, excuse me, between the number of slices the person said.  :roll:

I hope his mom is ok, he loves her so much.

thats gonna be hard cuz hes just so freaking hot  :P  jk i think i'll be fine. i wonder if we're allowed to take pics with him at this thing. my friends said they'll take one of me meeting him if we're only allowed to do that. & if we cant get pics im at least asking for a hug when i meet him lol i wish it was saturday.
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on July 30, 2007, 08:07:08 pm
Well me & my friends got to the Luxor Hotel where the thing was around noon cuz someone said to get there at least 4 hours early. We drove from the inland empire so it took us about 4 hrs to get there & I waited about 7 hours in line, but it was so worth it. ive never gone all the way to Vegas to meet a celeb before haha but I really wanted to meet Criss. I overheard someone in line say that Criss said he'll stay until everyone gets a picture/something signed.. I knew there was a reason why I liked him so much. & that ended up being a total of 6 hours, he stayed 3 more hours than he had to. Amazing huh?

Well finally its my turn to go up & when we were getting close, I kept trying to decide if I should get my book signed, a pic & ask for a hug. But I didnt wanna do all 3 cuz that would be a lot, so i went with the picture obviously & I asked for a hug lol I was super nervous, my friend was probably like "just make up your mind". When I went up I was reeally nervous. he asked how I was & I said 'good how are you?' & he said good. Then we posed for a picture, & then I was like "can i have a hug" (it barely came out) & he said sure & gave me one. Holy crap, he has a lot of muscles so his hug was a strong one, but it was a good one. i can die happy now because of that :P I said thank you & he said aww your a sweetheart. i loved how he called me that.. anyways, that was pretty much it. the hug he gave me was the best part haha

here is my picture (which i cannot stop staring at, im such a dork). he rarely smiles for pics, but he is really nice i promise.. & hot. okay i'll shutup now & post my pic:

I've missed the last few episodes. I got this from another site:

from Perez Hilton today:

Spotted: Britney Spears on a date with icky illusionist Criss Angel, Wednesday night at the Tower Beverly Hills Hotel. The pair were seen holding hands and headed up to a suite on the 11th floor together.


You know it Nicole. We need to go to Vegas and see him!!
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on August 16, 2007, 09:55:57 pm
icky? whats that supposed to mean? he's not icky, he's flippin hot lol.

anyways, Britney has a deal with a new nightclub at the Luxor, and Criss lives at the Luxor so I think they are just hanging out. If you saw the video, there were a ton of other people at the hotel they went up to outside where everyone was at.

if they are dating, then I hope Criss helps Britney straighten out her life. he's a good guy who works hard (22 hour days), so maybe he will.

Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel

Post by: Laura on August 17, 2007, 08:39:30 pm
oh yeah & access hollywood said today that them hanging out was just business because apparently Britneys gonna open at the VMA's in Vegas & Criss was helping her out with ideas. this should be interesting, cuz he's amazing at what he does. wonder if hes gonna be apart of the vma's with her. that would be cool

I think Britney will need some magic to regain her former success...

And as for the "icky" comment... I think Perez must be jealous...
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Twilight_Angel on August 18, 2007, 06:56:22 am
well I started liking him because of the old debate of who's better-criss or david. so I wanted to know what was apparently so great about him and youtubed him. and yeah he's a pretty good illusionist! i dont know how he did the whole swallowing needles thing >_< that looked gross.

(and i'll say again, he's indescribably hawwt)

Yes, Britney will definitely need some magic to regain her former success.. I really hope Criss helps her to do so.

& lol, Perez is so jealous. He's gay, but I bet he still wishes he could be hanging out with Britney Spears & that he could be as hot as Criss.

I don't know how he does half of the stuff he does, but yeah the whole swallowing needles thing was freakin insane, I was like wtf when I saw that. My friend was freakin out when she saw that haha. If I could find out the secret behind one of his tricks, that would be the one I'd wanna find out.

Apparently Criss is gonna be IN Britneys act too, Im still trying to find more info. about it. ahh this is exciting.

And Criss is gonna hypnotize chickens on Tuesdays show lol that man is weird sometimes, but he's hot so it's all good:)

From his official myspace bulletin:

BURNING MAN

Tuesday, August 21 10:00pm ET
Wednesday, August 22 2:00am ET

When a bag of chips becomes lodged in a snack machine, Criss puts his hand through the glass. Criss and the crew travel away from the hustle and bustle of city life to visit a dude ranch. Criss tills the land and entertains ranchers by hypnotizing chickens and bringing a scarecrow to life. He levitates a friend around a campfire. The episode culminates as illusionist Jeff McBride takes Criss on a right of passage with drums, dancing, and a dangerous feats involving fire.

Have you noticed that on the show they NEVER show him putting her back together, or finding people that he has made vanish? Funny that.

It's usually on Tuesdays on A&E but it's off season right now. And yes, Criss is indeed VERY hot lol. He has a lot of muscles too, didn't realize how many till he hugged me. I was all like "eee!" and giddy as heck after that. After I was out of the meet & greet area of course so Criss wouldn't think i'm a total dork lmao.

The more I listen to it, the more I love it! It's awesome! So far, my favourite songs are "Fear" and "Die For Me" (He has a really cool voice!) and I love the instrumental tracks too, especially "Fly". Lots of his music has a Middle Eastern influence, so I love bellydancing to it! Haha. It must sound strange, but I think it's perfect for that!  :wink:

dude i know someone with connections to Criss! ahh next time i go to Vegas he's gonna introduce me :) well i guess re-introduce me since i already met him haha

okay, so i met one of my dads' friends whose in town today & i found out he lives in Vegas, so of course i ask him if he's met Criss & he's all like "oh yeah a few times he's really nice" like it was no big deal. i forgot to ask him how so i thought about it & i was like..okay he has to have connections to meet him that many times because he's like my dad's age and doesn't seem like he's a hardcore Criss fan at all ha cuz he acted like it was no biggie.

so i called my dad back & it turns out he entertains the stars & shows them around when they come down..i dunno exactly what the business is called but yeah i'm sure he met Criss through one of the stars or something, im not really sure since Criss lives in Vegas.

And he's like "yeah next time your in Vegas i'll introduce you guys"..and it just so happens im seeing his show this coming summer at the luxor. hell yeah haha i cant wait!! i feel bad tho when i was talking to my dad i was like "r u sure he's not lying?" & he's like no no he's not lying & he was right next to him oops haha but he seems nice so its all good.

Sorry i'm totally having a teeny moment  :lol: stuff like this doesn't happen everyday..especially with celebs I really like.

dude i know someone with connections to Criss! ahh next time i go to Vegas he's gonna introduce me :) well i guess re-introduce me since i already met him haha

okay, so i met one of my dads' friends whose in town today & i found out he lives in Vegas, so of course i ask him if he's met Criss & he's all like "oh yeah a few times he's really nice" like it was no big deal. i forgot to ask him how so i thought about it & i was like..okay he has to have connections to meet him that many times because he's like my dad's age and doesn't seem like he's a hardcore Criss fan at all ha cuz he acted like it was no biggie.

so i called my dad back & it turns out he entertains the stars & shows them around when they come down..i dunno exactly what the business is called but yeah i'm sure he met Criss through one of the stars or something, im not really sure since Criss lives in Vegas.

And he's like "yeah next time your in Vegas i'll introduce you guys"..and it just so happens im seeing his show this coming summer at the luxor. hell yeah haha i cant wait!! i feel bad tho when i was talking to my dad i was like "r u sure he's not lying?" & he's like no no he's not lying & he was right next to him oops haha but he seems nice so its all good.

Sorry i'm totally having a teeny moment  :lol: stuff like this doesn't happen everyday..especially with celebs I really like.


Ooh, lucky girl!!  :D

I want Criss to come down under!.... um... that's not the best choice of words is it!?  :oops:  :lol: hahaha

As for the music, it's dark electronic stuff, some of it with heavy guitars which gives it a kinda nu-metal sound... I think he has a great voice. Some songs have a definite Korn influence (I know he's a big fan) and I'm not really into them, but I'm sure those songs will grow on me :)

just letting any fans know that Mindfreak's new season starts on July 23rd, this Wednesday on A&E. he's gonna attempt to walk across a lake among other things. then on the 30th he's gonna do a completely live stunt. here's the info about it which has me freaking out btw. i'm gonna be a nervous wreck come next Wednesday:

Quote


"I will be placed in the bucket of a fire truck and placed on the 7th-storey balcony of a 9-storey building. The stairs will have been removed from the first two floors so when the dynamite goes off it will implode on itself. I will be manacled to the balcony and visible throughout to both the TV cameras and to the loyal fans that will be able to watch it from a safe distance. I will have less than four minutes to escape. I will not know any of the challenges I will face because nobody has ever done this before live from a building being blown up. I've got to escape, race up to the roof, jump on the rope dangling from a helicopter and fly off to safety.

"That's the plan, quite frankly anything could go wrong. Its live-no rehearsal, no safety net. It could kill me. It's the most dangerous thing I've ever done and 4,600 tons of concrete will implode whether I'm in it or not.


"I always wanted to do this kind of thing live so I can prove for once and for all to the skeptics that what you see is what you get. It's interesting to say the least, but the cement blocks and implosion should ramp up the theater of it all. You will see me live on the balcony. This time there will not be a cover on me. You will watch me pick my way out of the shackles as the clock ticks. You will see me escape and run for the roof. It's the only way I can get out before it all collapses. It will be a legitimate escape and as the first magician to be completely exposed while doing it certainly pushes the envelope of ultimate illusions. I am excited and passionate about it, and I love explosives so I have to believe there is nothing in this that will cause me to be afraid of dying."



"people will potentionally witness my death on tv live" is what he said on Craig Ferguson about it the other day..he doesn't seem very confident about it does he lol. shit.

I am glad the season has started.

Please, shave already. He looks horrible, it's so scruffy!! It would help if his hair color and beard were the same color.

The one where the he pulled the card out of the guy's head. Well, that was a set up cause it certainly wouldn't have worked so well if the "random person" wasn't bald.

The aquarium gf thing, car, and middle of the lady gone, crazy!

The lake thing, no idea how he does that crap. The crazy ladies who went in the water cracked me up. The one chick with her purse, jeans and all, in the water freakin' out, too funny!

MIND FREAK!!

he has shaved since then, i'm so glad cuz yeah it freaked me out lol. he said he didn't have time to shave & thats why he grew the beard because he was working too hard. & still is working too hard.

& yeah i knew the guy with the bald head was a set up, but that still had me tripping out haha i was like holy shit.

& i have a theory about the middle of the lady being gone..remember how there was a picture behind her? well when he put up the blanket i believe she somehow put her body in a secret hole/door that was in the picture. i don't know how she got in the secret hole/door. unless shes a midget & the legs were prosthetics's & a guy behind the hole/door pulled her in somehow so only her face & stomach was facing out? does that make sense? lol.

still have no idea how he walked across the lake though. wtf.

I heard them talk about this show on the radio yesterday, the lady was like "im still pondering that trick he did when he went through the glass on the first season".

Post by: Laura on July 30, 2008, 07:45:30 pm
omg i thought he f*cking died..like right towards the end my friend Tina called me who was also watching it & he was still in the building with like 30 seconds left so i kept saying "this has to be pre-recorded, this has to be pre-recorded" & i was bawling my eyes out when the building imploded. i've never freaked out so much during a tv show.

then 1 minute later he shows up!

i was shaking like crazy.


he better not do a live stunt again, good lord that man almost gave me a heart attack.

Post by: eclv on July 30, 2008, 11:35:47 pm
I got a little nervous even though I figured he was fine since I hadn't heard anything about him dying.

I think he will count that one as a failure, since he didn't get through the first lock and had to break the window not to mention he didn't make it to the helicopter. He's a live so I guess it's a success?? But I know he's hard on himself. Speaking of hard, I wish they would have showed more of him and his trainning.  :wink:

Weird they didn't talk to him at all about it and what went wrong. When the helicopter left I figured he would end up next to the host guy or something freaky like that. Looking forward to hearing more.

you know whats funny, i got a few people to watch his show tonight that never usually do. two of them were Paula fans i'm friends with (one of them was the one that called me) & a friend from high school lives in Florida now & went to it. her myspace status when she got back was like "Criss Angel is amazing" & i've never heard her say that before lol. she said she was gonna take pics if she could so i'll post any if she did & let you guys know any behind the scenes stuff i hear about.

i hope i keep getting more people into his show.

The biggest mindfreak ever was getting that many people to watch that fiasco and waste an hour for that result. That was worse than that Geraldo in Al Capone's vault and the Houdini seance. I knew he wouldn't die no matter what. I'm glad that was his last live event.
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on July 31, 2008, 10:00:22 pm
well he had me & a lot of other fans bawling their eyes out cuz we thought he did die, so he's still amazing to me if he can have that kind of affect on people.

Steveau. Tell me how you really feel. Yeah I knew he wouldn't die.

I got most of my answers Criss Angel talks about his stunt at the Spyglass Hotel (http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7103449&version=1&locale=EN-US)

thanks for that video! i was trying to find an after the stunt video forever the other day. i loved when he said this 'if you have a dream, i dont care what people tell you, how negative they are, believe in yourself, believe, believe, believe in yourself & just go for it". & it was SO touching when he talked about his fans.

& damn, he's f*cking hot in this video. i like his hair natural looking like that. but as long as he doesn't have the beard, he looks hot however his hair is  :razz:

omfg did you guys see the 2nd new episode last night where the nail went through his hand & blood was gushing out?? holy shit. i've never heard anyone say  the f word so many times & i've never seen him so hysterical. wow, that was crazy.
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: eclv on August 07, 2008, 04:29:14 pm
I had to work late and caught the last few minutes. I didn't know what he got shot with until he started talking about it. Wow! I love that they show when his stuff goes bad. Someone should be fired for not thinking  through that the glass would shatter.  :roll:

i dont get the thrill of watching someone who causes pain to themselves, it just doesnt seem right.
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: eclv on August 07, 2008, 04:45:59 pm
Well before it started we didn't know he was going to cause pain to himself. I just love his honesty about how it went wrong and we get to see it for ourselves. It's not like we wished him harm, or he wanted to harm himself, yeah?

seriously. after i saw that happen i was like "why didn't someone on his staff realize that the glass could shatter??" idiots lol. i agree it is good to show that he doesn't always get things perfect, but i could've done without all the blood, yuck. when the arm got cut off, i could handle that cuz i knew it wasn't real blood & somehow he put a prosthetic arm on instead. i mean it had to be that or the person wouldn't have survived. seeing the real blood freaked me out haha.

exactly. also iluvvenessa, if your talking about other stunts he does as well where he could put himself in danger like last night, he's trying to teach people to overcome their fears. he says the greatest compliment he gets is when a fan comes up to him & tells him they got over a fear because of something Criss did on the show. & i believe (no pun intended) that Criss has helped me overcome some fears too. although i'm still freaked by spiders lol.

btw Let, are you going to his live show at the Luxor? i think i talked a few friends into going in October or November, but i'm still waiting for a positive yes from them. if this happens i'm gonna be so excited!

Oh i know, its just that sitting there on a couch watching someone hurt themselves in real life, not a movie, just freaks me out.
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on August 07, 2008, 06:42:53 pm
he doesn't always hurt himself though..you should give his show another chance. he walked across a lake a couple weeks ago. they had people putting their hands underneath his feet & showing that there was nothing he was walking on (reminded me of V's "walk on water" song ha) it was insane..you should youtube that. if you can get past the freaky beard phase he was going through at the time, i think you'll like him lol.

The episodes this week were amazing! I love it when he does the up-close magic. It was crazy when he was at the card table in the Luxor showing those girls "the move." No idea how the hell he does that stuff. He looked very hot too(in the scenes without the beard)!
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on August 29, 2008, 05:14:52 pm
yeah i loved the episodes this week too! when i see him in October i gotta find that card in the glass doors at the Luxor lol. & yeah, he's hot without the beard..good lord. i've been crushing on him since the first time i saw him on tv haha.

me & my friends are getting tickets to his new Believe show, & it looks like we're going in the middle of October sometime. i'm so excited! the show seems like it's gonna be incredible. i can't wait to experience the tornado going through the crowd, that'll be rad.
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Arwen on August 29, 2008, 06:46:01 pm
Take pics of the card in the door! That was so cool.
I'm dying to see his Believe show. I went to Vegas in July and I was so bummed because the show wasn't playing yet. It sounds awesome!

oh i'm definitely taking pics lol i'm gonna touch the doors where the cards at too on both sides to make sure it's actually in there. & i hope you do get to see his show.

i forget the air date (i'll try to find out), but this "magicians secrets" show is gonna reveal how to walk on water & levitate really high like Criss does, not the stupid low levitations anyone can do (*cough* david blaine *cough*). when they showed the preview of the levitating one, it almost looked like one of the places/buildings where Criss levitated & how high he went & stuff. kinda makes me wonder if the masked magician is Criss. especially since i think he's the only one to ever walk on water?

btw the david blaine thing was freaking hysterical haha i was cracking up so hard.

yay i'm glad you like it. i love how i keep getting people into his show lol.

& yeah it used to drive me nuts too. still does half the time, but the more i watch it, the more i'm always guessing different ways he does the illusions.

i can't wait to see how the masked magician reveals how to walk on water..the leak mead episode still trips me out thinking about it.

Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on August 30, 2008, 04:31:57 pm
lol yeah, those kind of stunts make me wonder if he has a twin.
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel

or a trap door?
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on August 30, 2008, 05:33:31 pm
yeah that's my real guess, but i'm still confused on how they can make a trap door or whatever & have him end up so far away from the thing you know?
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Arwen on August 30, 2008, 05:55:13 pm
Yeah cause how could they have a trap door in the street of New Orleans? I thought about the twin thing too, but then they open the trash can again and its empty. And how do you think he got out of that big barrel with that man hole cover on top in the last episode?
I would love to see that show where they reveal how they levitate and walk on water. Is that on A&E too?
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on September 01, 2008, 11:25:39 pm
oh i have a theory for the barrel thing on the last episode. i think the thing they put in the middle of the barrels (like the lid or whatever it was) was really rubber or something & had some kind of hole that he could go through lol.

i'm pretty sure the other show is on mynetwork TV. i actually don't think i get it cuz i couldn't find it on my tv so i'm just gonna youtube it after it airs.

Post by: eclv on September 03, 2008, 10:53:33 pm
I've missed a few episodes but tonight I caught the one where he changes his eye color and the pencil/box, matches/fire. The pencil one I thought was weird cause he kept saying believe, do it. watch or something like that but I never heard him say it (or I missed it) as far as what  they were supposed to be focusing their energy to do.

I also saw the earring/light bulb thing, crazy. Oh and the business card one.

I want to play Blackjack at the Criss Angel table!!  8)
Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on September 09, 2008, 12:59:05 am
dude when he changed his eyes to red, that was hella freaky. but really cool haha.

i've only watched one of the new episodes from last week cuz i've been so busy, but have the other one saved on my DVR. i've been trying to catch up on my other shows. it's weird cuz MF is my fav show & i still haven't finished watching it from last week. i found the first episode from last week kind of boring, so maybe i'm just losing interest. i hope not though.

Title: Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel
Post by: Laura on September 26, 2008, 04:24:26 pm
well he's alive if your wondering. i browse his official board & saw the posts after the fans got back during the summer & most of his fans thought he was dead until they took it upon themselves to go & find him after they saw him on live TV. then they found him & one of his fans told him off for not telling them he was okay lol, but he was really cool about it & offered to take a picture with the group of fans that were there to prove he was ok.

don't know why they didn't say he made it though on the episode, that's effed up.

oh & i'm back into the show now lol i just wasn't feeling a few of the episodes this season.
