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.

“Today iTricks brings you what could possibly be the weirdest flourishing video of all time. It is both Dan and Dave Buck on the children’s TV show “Lazy Town” . They play the main character Sportacus and make it seem like he is doing some crazy card flourishes. Need proof that those were really the Buck Twins? Well here is it.”
This video is only one of nearly 2,000 available at the newly revamped iTricks.TV.
We here at iTricks are huge Lost nerds so this is pretty sweet. The Mathematical Forecasting Institute has put together two Dharma Initiative magic tricks. The first is embedded above and you can find the second right here.
