Criss Angel Talks New Believe Illusions, Initial Mindfreak Season 6 Concepts

skitched-20091218-183611.jpg

Robin Leach is reporting that several new illusions are close to being worked into Criss Angel Believe in 2010.

Criss revealed this week that he has suffered two minor shoulder muscle tears during his current, continuing and strenuous schedule of performing Believe for Cirque du Soleil at night and rehearsing seven new illusions being added to the show in March. We’re sworn to secrecy about the mind-blowing illusions, but I can tell you that they are totally unique and fiery.

Once Clark County fire and building inspectors have signed off on all the necessary safety precautions, we’ll start to tell you about the new illusions as we get closer to the March launch.

He also got the scoop on some first drafts for Mindfreak Season Six.

Criss has already begun work on the initial creative ideas for the new Mindfreak season. He’s toying with one idea of working with deadly tarantulas and seeing if he can make them vanish and then reappear from inside his mouth, and another death-defying project on the outside of the Luxor pyramid also is being considered.

And to top it all off, CA is celebrating his birthday this weekend. We wish him all the best.

    Back the truck up Mr. Hal. Way…before you joined this group..I hold the record for most posts to a thread because well,,I am a Criss Angel fan and NOTHING you can do will change that. I battled them all w/ class and intelligence. And in the end I gained alot of new friends. Which I find very sweet. I don't think you can say the same. And, found alot of good new magicmen and women. I can't say the same for you. Don't get ur panties in a knot..your ain't nothing special herel Actually, lookin pretty foolish. You are out of your league. Untill you start givin some respect to the art…just a mindless troll.

    And don't bring JRY into this, I'm sure you are on his last nerve.

  • friendinflorida

    p.s. Hal, you still owe me an apology. But I guess you will just duck and jive like every other post that has proved you wrong.

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    Well now that you mention it I did have a hard time changing the oil in my car. but other then that im just another HAL. God almighty I am I'm never wrong about anything. I know Everything! Oh wait that's you… Creep….

  • HAL

    Congratulations Crow, you finally spelled God correctly. Tomorrow's homework is 'your'e'. Trouble changing your (not your'e) oil, try taking the blindfold off. FIF: Perhaps if you tell me what I'm suppose to apologise for???? What have I said that was wrong? I asked some time ago what the record number of posts was, nobody answered. Can you tell me the thread and if it's still in iTricks?

  • HAL

    My sources tell me that the great Mr. Sackoftacos is now DIVORCED. I think the judge held up a sign that read, $50,000,000 and said, “WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT SHE GETS”. She’s finally rid of the slimeball who wanted her till he became rich and famous. I hope she got a bundle. He should have taken Dimitri to court with her onion crying act to get a little sympathy and Carrot Top as a character wittness. All rise, the Honorable Judge Copperfield presiding.

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    Your a douche bag! did i get it right? I mean seriously, this damn teacher has been hounding me on my spelling cuss hes an unoriginal bastard that cant come up with any other flaws to point out about me so he has to stick to the same crap over an over again. Funny thing is This creep of a teacher still has yet to back up his claims that he knows anything. Hes kinda like the Catholic Church, Making up claims written in a book from Millions of years ago that sound like really nice fairy tales. And hes preaching to all the Darwin's of the world that have evidence to back up their clams. By the way God GOD goD GoD hell even DOG its all the same word to me. A word that I could care less about. So yea HAL your still a douche bag… ;-)

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    Oh and in my opinion you should apologize just for speaking. Wait Oh crap did i say that out loud. Hope I didn't piss off “the almighty HAL”… ::Making a jerk off motion to show how much I really care::

  • Hugo Stiglitz

    ?plo ?u????? s? l??u? ss??? uo ?su?? u?? ?uo? 'L??

  • HAL

    NO CROW, you still have it WRONG. It's your'e (meaning YOU ARE). Is this really so hard to get? Your'e sure not the brightest act in the street magician bunch. You should go back to 5th grade. Maybe you were blindfolded during English class? I also suspect you assume the jerk off position quite frequently. Who are these posters, former Hee Haw stars? We have Crow, who probably spells his name wrong on a job application….Now we have Hugo with the great upside down, backward effect. Brilliant, except the L is only backward, not upside down, the lower part of the h should be lower, the d is not right, and if I remember correctly, a name such as the great Criss Angel is spelled with capital letters. Nice try Hugo. Be careful, YOUR going to be like Crow. I spelled it that was so he would understand it. Now he finds it necessary to put down Religion. Guess my brain isn't working, I should have guessed, another Athiest magician, my day is complete. It's obvious, you didn't get a Catholic School education. How can you not believe, when your (right, not your'e) hero walks on water and has a show called 'beLIEve'?
    Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS to those who believe, and to those who don't, MERRY CHRISTMAS too. P.S. I'm glad Darwin's back up their CLAMS, didn't know they were big on fishing. And, it's couldn't care less about. Somebody, pay for this guy to go back to skoool.

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    Damn It! I was really hoping that…. Wait I don't care. And your still a creepy idiot…

  • friendinflorida

    No Hal, Crow wasn't blindfolded in school….he DROVE blindfolded. Muah!

    No one knows what really happened between Criss and Joanne but them. You were not in their bedroom.

    “FIF: Perhaps if you tell me what I'm suppose to apologise for????” You know very well…don't play dumb. Or maybe its not an act?

    Merry Christmas everyone! Here's to a better 2010 for everyone! “cheers”

  • HAL

    Crow, you poor hopeless man….Wait I don't care. And your still a creepy idiot.
    Fourth grade English: Wait, (comma, probably never heard of that) I don't care, (comma again, you don't start a sentence with and) your'e your'e your'e your'e your'e your'e still a creepy idiot. Maybe your (yes your) problem is you don't believe the Bible, maybe it upset you when you learned the words in the Bible are spelled right. I think 4th graders would call you an idiot. So remmber, when you do your (yes your) next card trick….Tell them, “Your'e not going to believe this”, and is this “your' card? A small lesson from the bitch, bastard, prick, pedophile serial killer, creepy idiot. However, I do have a brain. I was just watching the Rodney Dangerfield movie “Back to School”, and for some reason thought of you.

  • friendinflorida

    What??? your rambling again. Step away from the bottle Hal and get a grip. You won't address me directly on many points. I wonder why? Perhaps you know you are WRONG! And you are just looking for attention. Must be a sad life to go on and on about grammer. Every time a point is made against you, you change the subject to foolishness. I wonder when the “child” in you died. To enjoy something purely for the art it brings.

    You are a hater of the art of magic. Hands down.

    One of my favs…Walk on Lake Mead.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C5tS3N0STs

  • friendinflorida

    Hal, the art obviously doesn't connect to you…so why are you here?

  • HAL

    And again FIF: Just a little common sense here. Look at your own video. Here you have someone about to walk on water. The first time in 2000 years. (I'm sure Crow doesn't agree with that). Criss is about to perform a Miracle, and there are about 20 people there. Shouldn't there be hundreds or thousands? There were more when he escaped from a trash can. I think this comes under 'Stooge availibility'. You wonder why I talk about the intelligence of Criss fans. If somebody sold horse manure to cure baldness, these fans would buy it. How bout invisible toilet paper? Please, wake up and smell the con artist.

  • HAL

    FIF: I really don’t remember. If you mean my comment about Criss’ fans being fat, etc., I don’t think I mentioned anybody by name. How could I, I’m not aware of what anybody here looks like. Except maybe Crow in the blindfold video. Of course the video was so shaky, I couldn’t make out much of anything, Stevie Wonder could have been driving. You appear to have a good education, perhaps since your’e (yes, it’s your’e) his friend, maybe you could teach him some English. It’s amazing how upset people get when I start talking bad about Criss Angel. No, I wasn’t in Criss’ bedroom (I wouldn’t want to be..ukkk..the thought) but it’s a fact he passed her off as ‘his girl’ to promote his success. He put his personal life on Larry King to show what a great guy he is, and hey look at me with Holly Madison. Big accomplishment getting the girlfriend of an 80 year old guy, go Criss! He was satisfied with 15 years until he became rich and famous. Interesting how all his female fans think he’s so wonderful. He just doesn’t soung that great to me. Maybe some of the names Crow calls me also apply to Mr. Sacoshit.

  • HAL

    FIF: You actually don’t know how he walked on Lake Mead? e-mail me, Trickbusters walked way out in the ocean, much further than Criss. How did they do it???? I’ll be glad to tell you. May Criss put a curse on me if I’m lying, but I do like magic very much, and I don’t drink at all or use any drugs. Maybe that’s why I don’t fall for Criss’ act? I will address you on ANYTHING if you could stop beating arond the bush and say what you want to know. I can’t answer if I don’t know the question. And I can hear you already as so many Criss fans…”I don’t care how he does his tricks”. As long as you can look at him, that’s all that matters. This is more like no interest in magic. My point with Crow is, he calls me an idiot, and then types his comments the way he does. You know the saying, the kettle, etc., etc.

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    I'm a poor helpless man? HAHAHA! You don't get it do you? Your the one looking me up, Your the one spending time out of your day going to my web pages. Your more interested in Angel and I then you are in just living your life. Your helping me every time you view my pages it send another hit making me more noticeable on internet search pages. But I'm the poor Helpless soul? Love me or hate me I dont care. At least your still talking about me. It's things like this why I think your an idiot. Thanks for proving it…

  • friendinflorida

    “You wonder why I talk about the intelligence of Criss fans.” There you go again. So basically, anybody who doesn't like what you like is stupid. How old are you again?

    Criss is not a con artist. A con artist takes from somebody without giving. Lake Mead gave ME inspiration, beauty of nature, humor, escape, wonder, cool music. You will never understand because you are not a magic fan. If you watched the vid, Criss said he wants to do things that provoke conversation, interaction, emotion. You have proved Criss was successful.

    I always get the most bang for my buck w/ Mindfreak. And nothing you can ever say will change the way I feel.

    p.s….keeping hittin on Crow site..he's actually quite good.

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    3 comments in a row? really? damn man you must be loosing it even more then you have…

  • HAL

    Sorry to disappoint you, I never was on Crow’s site, I don’t even know what it is. When someone posted the video on youtube, I watched that dazzling shaky video. I checked out the blockbuster Necro movie on Wikipedia. I guess you totally ignored my request to tell you how he did the great Lake Mead joke, and telling me what the apology was supposed to be. As I said, you beat around the bush and say nothing. And yes Crow, you still don’t get the your’e word. It’s YOUR’E the one looking me up. I’m the idiot???? How many times does it take for you to correct one word? Is there a brain in your head, or just a chosen card? I’m sure you can spell all the curse words. Criss isn’t a con artist???? I guess $99 to join a fan club is OK, selling his overpriced junk is OK? Why haven’t we heard anything about his magic kit? He’ll be selling more junk soon so fans can help pay for his divorce settlement. I hope she took for a big sum. I’m hearing all the hens think they have a chance with him now. Middle age women with 13 year old brains, it’s hysterical.

  • HAL

    FIF: I took your advice and checked out Crow’s site. Thank you, now I understand why he’s so angry and why he hates me so much. It says on his site, “Critics acclaim him to be the next Criss Angel”. What an honor, to him this must be like the Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine, the next “Criss Angel”. Magic would be better if we didn’t have the FIRST Criss Angel. Could we take another magician doing the fake tricks on Mindfake? Maybe it explains the English problem too, remember Criss with the ‘Travesty’ comment, and yelling ‘get an amBAlance. They have bad grammar in common. Keep checking A&E, maybe we’ll see “Crow Garrett..Mindfreeze”? Are we ready?

  • friendinflorida

    “FIF: You actually don't know how he walked on Lake Mead? e-mail me, Trickbusters walked way out in the ocean, much further than Criss. How did they do it???? I'll be glad to tell you. May Criss put a curse on me if I'm lying, but I do like magic very much, and I don't drink at all or use any drugs”

    Well, maybe you should start, because I can't believe you would come on a magic site promoting Trickbusters.

    I won't be sending you any email and you only wish Criss would…haha…yeah…(falls off chair laughin)….

  • HAL

    I do wish Criss would e-mail me. He had those supposed skeptics on the elevator stunt. He wouldn't have gotten away with it if I was there as a REAL skeptic. There were too many flaws in that 'Demonstration'. They didn't print my post about Crow's site saying 'Critics acclaim he's the next Criss Angel'. It's a shame anybody wants to be the next Mindfake. If that's your goal in life, you have my sympathy. A hopeless case.

  • friendinflorida

    I hear ya Hal. You want a email, face to face w/ Criss. Your a closet loyal. It's o.k…you can come out. Your among friends..lol.

    They didn't print your post? So sad to bad. Catch a hint lately?

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    HAL… Wait I got nothing funny to say about you… Odd for once there is nothing funny to say about a claimed middle aged douche bag that spends all his time on the internet… Kinda reminds me of a 40 year old that still lives with his mom… CREEPY!!!

  • HAL

    Sorry Crow, I've lived with my wife & kids for more years than youv'e been alive. (I'm assuming your'e alive if they didn't kill you off in that movie) Congratulations on being the next Criss Angel, what an honor. Kind of like being the next Adolph Hitler. He killed the Jews and Criss killed magic. Still think you could have a show called 'Mindfreeze'. Sticking your mouth over the camera lens after every trick goes over big. Yelling 'Are you ready' 5000 times helps too. You could use some better stooges, his are the pits. You don't even need elevator shoes. Do another naked jail escape, the women will love that. Use an older woman to cry at all your dangerous stunts, maybe being burried under tons of hippo dung. Wear plenty of rings and chains with a big 'C' on them. Date some well known bimbos for about a week each. And be sure to develop a lisp, women go nuts for that, say a lot of words beginning with S, and slobber all over them. Let everybody know you create and design all your tricks. I'll be looking for you on A&E, or Comedy Central, whichever pays the best. P.S. I don't recall you ever saying anything FUNNY.

  • HAL

    I’m among friends?? What are my enemies like? Believe it or not, I don’t hate Criss or anybody. I’m against what he does and what he is. I feel the same about Uri Geller, Peter Poppoff, Benny Hinn, Sylvia Browne, John Edwards, James VanPrague, etc. Those who make a fortune with gullible people. Sure Geller can bend spoons, and Poppoff really heals the sick, and Sylvia hears from the dead, fortune tellers really know the future, UFO’s are really abducting people, and Criss really does these totally stupid tricks. How bout’ the pet psychic, does your dog really tell her it’s problems? People will beLIEve ANYTHING, it’s really a shame. Bigfoot is knocking at my door right now. I’m not promoting Trickbusters, I just liked the way they did a better walking on water than Criss. The Masked Magician did a better building float than Criss. If so many can figure out your tricks, your’e not that good at what you do. (Notice how I put your and your’e in the right place, pass it on to a friend).

  • Mat

    I really wish this Criss Angel love/hate fest thing here would just die. The whole back and forth Criss Angel bashing/Criss Angel teener bopper lovefest has made the comment boards here into a joke. I've never seen so many people who hate/adore one magician. Maybe some of you can at least consider dropping the Criss Angel never-ending love/hate comment board war for a new hobby? Maybe? Please? Consider it? Crocheting is cool. Origami? Comicbook collecting? Baking?

  • Anonymous

    I’m with Mat on this one. The back and forth banter clogs up the very limited “recent posts” space that should be used to be discussing magic related topics. I would implore Justin R to discourage it by not green lighting such banter. ( even though it may be good for immediate ratings.. I think it is turning off more than Mat and I ) and I would also ask those with “sense” ( you know who you are) to simply avoid getting dragged into the mud over and over yet again.

    There is always lots of room for friendly debate and difference of opinion. That’s what makes the world go around. I have disagreed with many here and yet I consider them my friends.

    Here is an idea. I say … lets create a thread dedicated to Criss Angel debate and keep it all there instead of reviving it each week. ( in face we should BAN off topic Criss Angel debate from other threads now that there would be a place for it) I predict if we did open up a thread for just that topic it would become a very lonely thread as not many of us would even bother with it.

    All I want for Crissmas ( Ha Ha) is to look forward to iTricks getting back to Magic related topics and away from junk, tabloid rants.

    BTW… Happy New Year to all.

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    For all I know you are a creepy middle aged man that lives with his mom. You said you know how Angel does all his tricks but from the information you have given you know nothing… Your “Wife and Kids” could be nothing but a lie… ;-)

  • HAL

    Mat: If iTricks only posts good things about Criss Angel, such as when he makes the to 10, or his supposed new illusions for beLIEve, why shouldn’t anyone post the bad things? Like the way he does magic that isn’t magic. Some of my posts have not been seen because it was said I suggested methods to illusions. I still say using video methods are NOT magic methods. The only magicians who resort to this are those without the magic talent to do tricks that can be done as they are actually seen. I don’t think anybody here has shown me to be wrong about the way Criss does his Mindfreak farce. Criss Angel is a total fake who uses ignorance to achieve success. His female fans are interested in hos body, not magic. People get upset when Britany Spears lip sync’s a song, doesn’t Criss Angel do the same with magic?
    Then we have Crow, the Criss Angel wannabe. iTricks continues to print his foul mouth biker language that would be censored on most TV stations. His only purpose here is to call names. iTricks allowed a youtube link showing his magic act, free advertising????
    Then we have FIF who says nothing about magic except she loves Criss and agrees with Crow. I think Justin has been very fair in posting everybody’s views. Censorship accomplishes nothing but to take away the rights we’re supposed to have. The A&E site is terrible, they don’t post anything they don’t like. Then there’s the Loyal site, where all you see is “I love Criss”. If people can’t post their true beliefs, why have a site at all?
    I would like a thread where I could reveal how Criss does his video magic, NOT MAGIC METHODS, just the computer magic that Criss does. Crow claims I don’t know how Criss does his magic, but having some video knowledge, I do know how he does many of his amazing tricks. If Crow knows what he claims about Criss, he knows I speak the truth. I don’t expect him to admit that, after all, he’s the next Criss Angel. Yea, right.

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    Was that directed to me?

  • HAL

    And now we get to the totally ridiculous. Why would I lie about a wife & kids? 3 kids, 8 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, 6 years old, who by the way figures out Criss' tricks. I think children are great, wonder if your (yes, your) parents feel that way. BYW, who exactly are these 'critics' who say your'e (yes, your'e) the next Criss Angel? Anybody we've ever heard of, or maybe some relatives????

  • http://www.myspace.com/bbamagic Crow Garrett

    If its on the internet that makes it true… They believe that big foot is real so they talk about it on the net, i guess that makes it true. Maybe “YOUR” (Yes I wrote your cuss I don't care….) living in some sort of fantasy world that you want everyone to believe. World of Warcraft is a big game now a days. Maybe your just playing some game…

  • friendinflorida

    Yup. And I'm not buying.
