Criss Angel
by Preston on July 10, 2008
A trick Criss Angel performed on his show was a very simple prediction trick.
You get 2 assistants and 2 Paper bags. In one of the paper bags there is a unknown fruit or item and the other bag is empty. Criss Angel takes out a pen and pencil and instructs the audience to start yelling out random fruit. He writes down on many pieces of papers the name of the fruits that was called out. He has his assistant pick one of the papers and read it outloud. The other assistant opens the other bag and its the same fruit.
How is this easy prediction trick done?
You pretend that you are writing what the other people are saying but you are actually just writing the same fruit over and over again.
Pretty easy right?

Criss Angel’s Cirque du Soleil show might open on September 24th
Criss Angel Said, “Consider a tornado that will come out of my mouth and wrap around the theater! You will see the things that you see me do on Mindfreak, so to all those skeptics and naysayers that say all those things can’t be done live I challenge them to come and see my live show and you will see everywhere the most insane demonstration of illusions and connect on an emotional journey with me within the show.”

RAGING BULL
Tuesday, October 2 10:00pm ET
Wednesday, October 3 2:00am ET
This episode revolves around an alter ego of Criss Angel, the Traveling Salesman. In this disguise, Criss goes from door-to-door and town-to-town amazing people with his bottomless suitcase, in which he keeps unlikely items such as a ladder, a bowling ball and a hat rack. Last year, in downtown Las Vegas, in front of hundreds of onlookers, Criss surrounded a girl with temporary walls; when the walls came down, she was gone. This year, Criss will attempt the same unbelievable vanish, but this time without walls or barriers of any kind. Then Criss reveals to his mother that he’s going to attempt to vanish before a raging Mexican bull charges him.

I’ve seen the Cirque du Soleil Mystere and “O”; both of them we’re very good but both made me drowsy during the show. Criss Angel Cirque du Soleil does sound more exciting.
Is this going to be a Criss Angel Magic Show with a lot more assistants?

“So, that’s Hawaiian bounty hunters ONE, magic guy NONE!” said Dog the Bounty Hunter to Criss Angel after his houdini like water escape went wrong.
Apparently an escape involving Criss Angel and Dog the Bounty Hunter in the Las Vegas Luxor hotel’s pool went wrong during filming for Mindfreak Season 3, Dog the Bounty Hunter was asked to tie and shackle Criss Angel and throw him into the Luxor pool for what should have been a daring aquatic escape.
Angel was submerged for 4-1/2 minutes trying to get free from the bounty hunter’s “Samoa Knot”, when his handlers got the sign to go in after him. Angel has rarely stayed under for more than 2-1/2 to 3 minutes, so it was “a close one,” a rep said.
The good news for Criss Angel fans, Dog the Bounty Hunter has accepted a rematch to take place in Hawaii. This is supposibly Criss Angels’ first blown magic trick in 15 years.
