    Really sorry to hear that. Does Criss Angel know that Carl is the world's greatest magician?

    I was really sorry to hear the news this morning. He was very funny and the stuff he would do on stage took some nerve to pull off. He will be missed!!!!

    This news bummed me out, I've been watching him for years.

    I wouldn't have thunk it, but it stung a little bit. It makes me feel older to see him go. I've watched Ballantine since I was a little kid.
