    If you all don't mind I will do this now and get it over with so we can all move on. LOL

    Friend in Florida says ” Way to go Criss.. You are great, keep up the good work”

    HAL says ” Criss is a FAKE and you Loyals are stupid for believing in him”

    Timothy Drake says… ” These stats are crap and unreliable… how can both Cher and Bette eat up 80% of the sales each week.

    Justin R says..” Tim these are the only stats we can get so we post them”

    Crow says…” Give it up HAL”

    Brookie says ” Yay Crow.. you tell him”

    There.. now wasn't that easier than reading the same thing over 50 posts in the next week? ;)

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Oh My God! My Side Hurts! Oh this has to be to comment of the year! Please Justin Robert Young Give Tim an award for that one. That was the best!

  • friendinflorida

    lmfao…..that WAS great Tim!

    “bites lip”

    Well, CROW left twice, now he's back, I guess defending Criss. Maybe I'm totally wrong, BUT, if Midler is 50.98 and dear Mr. Mindfake is .98, how much money are we talking about. Criss is selling tickets for $50. so after you lose money in the casino's, you may not have much choice but to suffer through beLIEve. I'm working on a DVD now for youtube to demonstrate to anyone with an IQ over 10, how Criss does his great magic. Seeing is beLIEveing, unless you're totally brainwashed by this joke of a magician. Either way with the ticket sales, Midler and Cher have to be selling more tickets AND making more money. Why can't anyone get an explanation of what these rating figures represent? I just realized, Tiger Woods has more girlfriends than Criss has real tricks.

    Very, very funny Tim. You nailed it.

    Just to be clear, the rankings are “scores” not percentages. Therefore, all
    of the scores do not have to add up to 100%, so two performers can have
    gaudy numbers like Cher and Bette.

    As for how the numbers are compiled. We post the methodology every few weeks
    so here it is again…

    Now, as to why we post them. Although they are not perfect, they give a
    glimpse into the momentum of important magic acts. For example, DC is doing
    2 (sometimes 3) shows a night until 2010 and had flourished on the charts.
    Sure we don't know exactly how many tickets are moving, but it does show
    that the more performances he schedules the higher his score goes.

    Perfect? No but Tim these are the only stats we can get so we post them.

    Wait… damn.

  • timothydrake

    Well now we only have to hear from Brookie and the group is complete. ;)

    Glad most of you saw the humor in it.

    Best,

    Tim

  • friendinflorida

    lol Justin.

    Hey, where's my pic/vic Mr. Drake? ummmm?

  • HAL

    Some time ago on Larry King, Criss said he had the #1 show. Of course if you believe that, you probably believe he really does the ridiculous stunts. If Copperfield is doing 3 shows, it would seem that there are enough people buying tickets. Why add an extra show if the theatre is half full? People have told me Criss has people walking out, the theatre isn't full, and of course the only good review was from Larry King telling him to come back on the show. Too bad Cirque won't say if beLIEve is making or losing money. Selling tickets at discount prices all the time doesn't sound like a bundle of money to me???? Now he's doing season 6, just more tricks to laugh at. Figureing out Criss' tricks would make a good IQ test for pre-schoolers. I still can't figure his reasoning. He did the bike vanish 2 weeks after the Masked Magician revealed it, and the arrow through body, 10 YEARS, yes 10 Y E A R S after the Masked Magician revealed it. Yet, his fans thought it was fantastic. Again, back to the mentality of Criss Angel worshippers.

    Don't worry FIF. It is coming. BUT… be careful what you ask for. You might just get it ;) No worries really… it should be fun for all. I have a few BIG projects occupying my time currently but I will indeed shoot a video regards my bet.

  • HAL

    Timothy: If you're making a video, why not use Criss' video crew. You could do ANYTHING. How bout going to the South Pole, digging your way through the center of the Earth, and appearing seconds later at the North Pole. Criss could do it, and his fans would believe it. I think there's one born every 30 seconds.

  • friendinflorida

    No worries here Tim. Thanks for being such a good sport about the whole thing. Best of luck on your projects!
