Criss Angel is the sole magic representation on this week’s Ticket News.com Vegas Top Ten. He slots in at fifth behind Cher, Cirque’s Love, Barry Manilow and Blue Man Group.
Criss Angel will host RAW & is in hot water for another on-stage Believe comment. We celebrate a very worth charity event put on by iTricks readers.
Newsmaker Interview: James L. Clark He went to Haiti on his own dime and is now starting a charity to target troubled areas in the time of most desperate need. Our buddy James tells us all about why he went down, what he saw and what he plans to do next.

It’s official Criss Angel is set to “guest host” the WWE’s flagship program RAW on March 8th at the Rose Garden in Portland. He is just the latest to take his turn MC’ing the proceedings. Previous guests have included Pittsburgh Steelers’ QB Ben Roethlisberger and Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban.
Angel has a history with the sports entertainment powerhouse, he did a run of shows pre-Mindfreak in the basement of the WWF theme restaurant in Times Square.
Criss Angel and David Copperfield again represent the only magic listings on the TicketNews.com Vegas Top Ten. It is a particularly big jump for Angel who places behind only the currently closing Bette Midler, juggernaut Cher and Cirque’s Beatles tribute Love.
Perez Hilton has again become a burr in the saddle of Criss Angel. This time the oft-malicious blogger gave voice to members of CA’s Saturday crowd for Believe who were offended by a joke made by the illusionist.
The illusionist began to do his skit with the jr. magician and said, “Just think, if you were a real magician you could get any girl in this audience that you wanted.” Criss pauses for a moment and added, “or in your case any guy.”
It became clear that he expected the audience to erupt in laughter at this “joke,” but all he received were some nervous laughs and boos! And from then on, the LGBT members of the crowd booed every time he finished an act.
Of course, this is not an isolated incident on a couple of fronts. Criss recently drew criticism when an audience member used a derogatory term for gays during the locked box mentalism effect that opens the show. Meanwhile, there is no love lost amongst Hilton and Angel, after the latter slammed the former from the stage last April.
We’d be surprised if this incident blew up as much as the two previously listed, but you never know. Thanks to iTricks reader Nick for passing this along.
According to the man himself, as posted on the @CrissAngel Twitter account, this is the placard that signifies Criss Angel’s parking spot. If you ever see this sign in front of a 2007 Toyota Matrix with a dented rear bumper instead of custom Lambo, you know we’ve made our power move.
Criss Angel Believe and David Copperfield are again present on the Ticket News.com Vegas Top Ten.
