2008 Summer TV Preview: Criss Angel Mindfreak
By Kelly West: 2008-07-21 23:46:01
Criss Angel Mindfreak Premieres: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 10:00 p.m. EST Network: A&E Creator(s): Robert Sharenow and Elaine Frontain Bryant (Executive Producers) Starring: Criss Angel Website: AETV.com  Criss Angel Mindfreak features popular illusionist/magician Criss Angel as he performs seemingly magical stunts ranging from card tricks and other street-magic entertainment to huge stunts like levitating or walking on water. In the fourth season premiere, Criss will perform a stunt called “Walk on Lake,” in which he will attempt to walk on the world’s largest man-made lake, Nevada’s Lake Mead. Next Wednesday (July 30, 2008), A&E will air a special LIVE one-hour episode in which Criss will be shackled in a 6-story building in Florida. The building is packed with explosives and set to blow. Angel will have to get through the restraints and other physical obstacles and get to a helicopter on the roof before the building implodes.  I’m not one for magic tricks but I actually really enjoy Mindfreak. The series has a couple of things going for it. For one thing, Angel is really charismatic. He has a cool sort of charm about him that makes the show so much fun to watch. On top of that, he’s a true master of his craft, whether he’s doing “simple” street-magic or huge dramatic stunts like the building escape he’s going to attempt next week, watching it you don’t get the sense that you’re being manipulated or distracted somehow. The other thing that the series does well is focus on the reaction of the spectators. When watching “magic” be performed on television, it could be very easy to assume that special effects are being used to trick the series’ viewers into thinking they’re seeing something they aren’t but because we get to see the reactions of Angel’s audience, it gives the sense that they’re seeing pretty much the exact same thing we are. Angel is pretty open about what he does, often revealing the truth behind some of his tricks. I don’t think he claims to actually be magic or have special powers. All the same, a lot of what he does is nothing short of astonishing.

I'm an Artist living in Parrish Florida. From the beginning of the Criss Angel's
Mind Freak I was pulled into his Mind blowing Mind Freak Magic.
I love his relationship & Love he has with his Mother. His sense of humor he displays before and after his Magic is a magnet to your inner spirit.
I'll be going to view his next magic art in Clearwater Florida where he plans on an escape from a hotel that is to be blown up while Criss is restrained inside the hotel, and must escape.
His ability to blow your mind makes him the number one Mind freak-who else
can walk on water and fly like a Angel-But Chris angel.
I would love to meet him in person. He's is one of a kind. Maybe just a photo- I know he doesn't like to shake hands.
