Criss Angel in Mind Freak In this hub, you will learn how to perform four magic card tricks taught by none other than Criss Angel himself. Card Trick With Elvis Costello Double Card Prediction Aces...
Who is Criss Angel?
Criss Angel is one of the most well-known modern day magicians. MTV even went as far as calling him the "modern day Houdini". Well that's MTV. But if you have seen any of Criss Angel's magic demonstrations on TV or online, you probably were astounded, amazed, and dumbfounded with the demonstration.
Interestingly, Criss Angel does not claim to have supernatural powers. He even went as far as saying that he doesn't know anyone who can demonstrate to have supernatural powers. Criss Angel even offered a cool one million greenbacks from his own pocket to anyone who can prove that they have supernatural powers. This he did on national TV.
His rise to fame came with his television show "Criss Angel Mindfreak". In this show, he showed amazing feats like walking on water, levitating from one building to another, making cards move without touching it, and a lot more.
Criss Angel is of Greek decent and was born Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos in December 16, 1967.
In this hubpage, we will reveal how Criss Angel performs some of his amazing tricks. Ready? Let's move on then.
Criss Angel Explains How He Floats
In the above video, Criss Angel explained how levitation is performed. This seems simple once you know how it's done. But to someone who has no clue, this levitation demo will seem authentic.
Remember that knowing how to do a trick is just part of the equation. Performance is equally important. Criss Angel is very good with misdirection. Notice how he directs attention to his arms while he removes his foot from one of his shoes.
A little theatrics also adds a lot to the impact of the performance. In most of his performances, you will see Criss appear to be concentrating real hard before a demonstration. It's all part of the show. Those grunting sounds too.
Chain Around Neck Trick Explained
Another Criss Angel illusion you can easily replicate is the Chain Around Neck trick. A chain is tied around Criss's neck and two guys pull from either end of the chain. Magically, Criss 'escapes' from the chain.
Again, Criss demonstrates his excellent ability to distract and use it to his advantage. The long hair helps to hide the fact that the chain around his neck was tied in a false loop. It wasn't really tied around his neck. He appeared nervous before he asked the guys to pull the chain as hard as they can. All part of the show.
View the video below to see how it was done.
Criss Angel Vanishes
Here's another short video showing Criss Angel vanishing right before your eyes. He's standing on top of table. He covers himself with a blanket. And poof! He's gone.
But if you take a closer look at the video, you will see that there's something not quite right. The shadows look a little different. You will notice that there's enough space under the table to accommodate a crouching Criss hidden Angel. =)
Magic Is All In The Mind
Magic is illusion. Even the great illusionists will tell you. They may engage in some small talk to distract you while they prepare their tricks but that's all part of the show.
Like I said earlier in this hubpage, knowing how a trick is done is but part of the equation. The delivery and performance often has the more explosive effect on the audience.

Yeah, magic is all in the pomp and circumstance of the performance. Ultimately, the drama is the magic. Great stuff here. Thanks for sharing :D
Mind Freak!!!
I use to love that show, but he has those awkard characters he created and having too many disappearing tricks and mind guessing. I enjoy seeing his levitation tricks and walking on water.
I knew it was all an illusion however I did he pull that woman in half on television? It was disgusting and she freaked out.
Yeah that was disgusting. I think one of the best Criss Angel illusions is the one where he floated from one building to another. That was really awesome.
I think he looks evil, he gives me he creeps
He looks hawt in that picture! Whacha talkin about? Wait, I take that back, he needs to shave his face again...
He does look evil doesn't he? He's with Hugh Hefner's ex. Now what's more evil than that? :P
He does look dark and I believe that some of the things he does is weird, but in the same instance I enjoy watching his illusions and try to catch his error. :) Did he ever put that woman back together?
I have no idea AEvans. Sure hope he did. =)
very nice hub thanks for sharing
I saw where he walked through a plate glass window without breaking it. I've always wondered how he did that.
Great subject matter.
Thanks for the comment RKHenry. Yeah, that one was 'magical' too.
Great hub, very interesting. I am actually going to see him in the newest Cique Du Soleil in Vegas in a few weeks.
Even if he doesn't have supernatural powers--he is freaky good at what he does. Nice hub.
He looks scary.
Good for you Adam!
I agree tdarby. It's the execution that's impressive.
He does look scary doesn't he Angela. Maybe it's all part of the act.
You got to handed to Criss Angel and others in the Magic industry, they each have their own style of culminating performances which identifies with all sorts of audiences. As a close-up Magician and Prestidigitator there is no doubt that Stage Magic and Street Magic needs to continue expanding in order to maintain the traditional arts of illusions!
he rocks mindfreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak
i think the illusion was freaaky! i am nevr watching another illusion evr!
Criss Angel freaks me out. Yipes!!!!
cool, nice hub I wish they would revealed more because there some other tricks that are hard to explained
Man he really freaks everyone out... cool tricks though :)
Criss Angel is quite the showman. I know all his tricks are actually really simple but he does such a good job of performing them.
This is something!!! I always knew he is just a fake! Thanks for revealing that.
gr8 hub
Interesting stuff...I always knew there was some kind of trick behind everything that has been claimed as "magic" but I always had a hard time figuring most of it out. This really shed some light on the subject for me- thanks!
i always liked magic as a kid and criss does an outstanding job for a 21 st centry hudini, i think that he scares people a little because the way he represents his magic as if it comes from the darkside, i bet more kids will get into voodoo, witchcraft, and devil worshipping because of him lol happy holloween lol
Wow ... this is very nice hub teaching Criss Angel magic trick ......
But hey if you are an magician then please don't reveal those trick ....
bcoz magician take this oath before taking this profession ....
I like Chris Angel. He is one of my favorite magician. Thanks for great video. I like it. Now, I know that he using some trick also. great hub.
Criss Angel rocks! He is one of the coolest magicians around at the moment. I hope he continues to make great magic!
im sad criss was my role model and he admits his levitation is fake
I like a lot of Criss Angels stunts, but most of them are done the same way and I'm not huge on repetition. This was cool that you put these tricks together. Nice Hub.
I'm just confused about how he put that card into the glass door at the Luxor... Criss is amazing! MIND FREEEEAKKK!
Wow, that was great! Thanks for sharing! I'm a fool for magic.
so hot.but lots of gaps..........
uhmm, what gaps?
really cool .. good logic
ITS AMAZING THAT WE KNOW THE TRUE YET PREFER TO HAVE FAITH IN A LIE;
wow!so thats how he disapears
I thought for sure he really was magic :)
Finally, this snob admitted it! Very nice.

Great hub! I like Criss Angel but I can't believe that he would actually show people his secrets. Keep up the good hubs!
that levitation video was awesome. i'm so willing to be deceived when it comes to cris angel. how'd he levitate from building to building though???
There are some things that he does where it seems more than just your typical magic trick, if that makes sense. He can put on a show, for sure, but he does do a really good job, I have to say. But some of the stuff he does, just seems very odd, but very odd in a GOOD way.
damn, i reeeaallyyy wanted to see criss angel and that dude get into a fight. Mainly cuz i want to see how criss angel fights...i don't know why...i just do. But still, it would of been cool if they did show criss and that other dude start a fist fight, and not go to a dang commercial.
Im sick of all Criss Angels tricks. Like above, most of them are the worst actors. Even when people in the background are looking, they are probably looking at something else because the camera angle changes.
