Mindfreak w/ Criss Angel

[Laura]

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:

"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".

[Laura]

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.

[eclv]

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.

[Laura]

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.

[Laura]

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.

[eclv]

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

[Steveau]

It was like going to a Vanessa concert and having her not show up. I felt so ripped off.

[Laura]

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:

[Laura]

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.

[eclv]

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:

[iluvvanessa]

i dont get the thrill of watching someone who causes pain to themselves, it just doesnt seem right.
