Is anyone else familiar with Criss Angel and the show Mind Freak, which airs on A&E? If you like magic shows and wild illusions, and by wild I mean this guy kinda makes David Blaine look like a child's birthday party magician sometimes, this show is definitely worth checking out. Criss Angel takes his act way beyond card tricks and making fluffy white bunnies appear out of top hats, he is more likely to levitate from one Las Vegas rooftop to the next, walk on water or make a card disappear and then slice it from the scalp of some bald guy on the street. No seriously, he did that. I think he is amazing at what he does, but he scares the hell out of me at the same time. I mean, the stuff that he does and the way that he does it leaves me wanting to scream witch and have him burned at the stake.

Of course I could never do that because the part of me that is intrigued by him is much stronger than that which is afraid. My eyes always find themselves trying to be quicker than his hands and then they realize that there is no way that the eye can be quicker than the mind. No one knows what is lurking in the beautiful mind of Criss Angel and this is what gives him the ability to enter yours and freak it. Witnessing his act up close is almost like a religious experience for some people. It just over takes you. He will do some illusion that is completely insane and death defying and its just too much for some to handle. I, on the other hand would love to be up close and personal to the action. He has become a major Vegas attraction being a permanent fixture at The Luxor. Definitely a better reason than gambling to hit up Vegas.
