Mixed feelings
by Ana on 4/23/24Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood - Las VegasI had heard great things about Cross Angel show, as my husband also saw it with friends a few years ago. There’s a lot of “killed time” with talking and picking on the audience instead of illusion numbers. Some of it clearly too rehearsed and a bit tired. I didn’t feel that sales pitch of his illusion kit for kids during the show was appropriate as I wasn’t there to watch a live commercial. The levitation numbers were great, his signature number. Criss seemed low energy and I understand why with the personal story he told at the end of the show. I have compassion for what has happened and how invested he is in childhood cancers fundraising but the show ends in such low/depressing note because of that. We go to Vegas to be transported from reality and I would rather have spent my one chance to see a show watching something truly uplifting and entertaining. It wasn’t for me.
