It looks like Criss Angel did have a big plan for his WWE RAW appearance. However, the wrestling brass nixed the stunt. This all according to his Twitter.
Inside scoop – I was supposed 2 do something in the ring at Raw but a few days be4 it got cancelled 4 my safety – it would have been awesome
WWE was very, very kind to me! Ill do in season 6 of MF and in live show…
We’re very curious to see what Angel planned.

No surprises here, Copperfield and Criss Angel are among the Ticket News.com Vegas Top Ten again this week. With fixture Bette Midler now permanently vacated, the rest of Sin City’s entertainment should get a little more wiggle room until Celine Dion resumes her show.
Meanwhile, with big changes allegedly coming to Believe, one would be wise to see how much the reshuffling moves the needle from the numbers they are charting now.
Anyone hoping for a big illusion within the squared WWE circle by Criss Angel might have been a bit disappointed by the Mindfreak’s turn as host of WWE Raw on the USA network Monday. Criss performed three backstage segments but played it straight before the main event when he announced the entrances of John Cena and Vince McMahon.
In the first segment, Angel performed Wayne Houchin’s Thread, in the second he read the mind of underrated veteran heel William Regal and in the third he performed the smash and stab, which considering that particular effect’s dodgy success rate, might have been a big enough risk for live television.
So what did you folks think? Comment below and please try and keep it germane to this particular topic.

Something we happened to miss last weekend with all the craziness of the lecture tour but is worth mentioning. Lance Burton, who has always been a friend to the beginning magician held a meet and greet with himself, Siegfried, Jeff McBride, Eugene Burger, Joshua Jay, Johnny Thompson, Criss Angel and Joe Monti attended by 53 young conjurers.
This from Robin Leach:
Master magician Lance Burton helped kick off a week of magic for the youth program of the World Magic Seminar at his castle in Henderson when he hosted a luncheon and meet-and-greet for 53 budding magicians with Siegfried Fischbacher and Criss Angel. The World Magic Seminar is based at The Orleans this week, and Lance invited many of the young magicians to his show at the Monte Carlo. It’s the 20th year of the convention in Las Vegas, with more than 1,000 attending. Lance said, “Can you imagine being a young magician coming to Las Vegas being able to meet one-on-one with some of the world’s most famous magicians? It’s a major international event.”
What an insane opportunity for those kids. The above photo came from @CrissAngel’s Twitter.
