Flavor Flav’s Love For Magic Further Documented On Latest Mindfreak

Posted by Editor on August 23rd, 2010

Our recent obsession with Flavor Flav’s obsession with magic has another chapter. On the most recent episode of Mindfreak Criss Angel melted Flav’s face with this illusion.

This is the same episode where Criss’ attempted his Cement Shoes escape in front of a massive crowd in Lake Havasu. Think what you will about Criss, but that’s a lot of people gathered to watch a magic trick, for any young illusionist it certainly is something to aspire to.

You can catch the episode on Hulu.

This Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET, the new Mindfreak season continues with the new hour-long episode 100 Gone

Criss Angel’s Gun & Miss Universe

Posted by Editor on August 20th, 2010

Should Criss Angel be armed while judging the Miss Universe pageant?

Norm Clarke asks that question in his column today, piggybacking on a point made by Richard Abowitz earlier this week. To recap, Criss Angel is licensed to carry a firearm in the state of Nevada and Abowitz (no friend to Angel) questioned if Vegas tourists and regulars would feel safe knowing such information.

In today’s column Clarke references Angel flipping off a camera during the Miss USA pageant two years ago after his then-girlfriend was eliminated. What he oddly does not mention is an altercation he had with Angel after the event where the Mindfreak star threatened the columnist.

The question now is if his gun should be present while he judges Miss Universe, although we don’t know if he was planning on bringing it or if the casino would allow him in with it. Pageant organizers had no comment.

There should be no question that Abowitz and Clarke aren’t friendly with Camp Angel, but do you think they have a point?

On the other hand, is there any proof that Angel habitually carries his gun everywhere he goes and isn’t just licensed to have it? So far the closest we’ve gotten to that information is Abowitz citing rumors, which may in fact prove true, but have yet to be substantiated.

Criss Angel On America’s Got Talent

Posted by Editor on August 19th, 2010

Criss Angel demo’d the new and improved Believe on America’s Got Talent last night (less bunnies! more magic!) and we have to admit it looked pretty good. Considering we’ve already seen it on Oprah and Mindfreak, we’re not sure how many more times in our life we need to see Angel break a speed record for an upside down straight jacket escape but the spectacle was there and the his signature metamorphosis played very well on the big stage.

Also, in unrelated news, Angel has been announced as a Miss Universe judge.

What did you guys think?
