Criss Angel on Tour
An icon in the world of magic and one of Las Vegas' hottest attractions, Criss Angel is a performer with a knack for leaving audiences awestruck. He first captured the imaginations of viewers with Criss Angel MINDFREAK, the groundbreaking TV series that kick-started a wider resurgence for the art of illusion, and continues to showcase his astonishing skills on the road. When Angel's on tour, it's an unprecedented theatrical experience, and one that increasingly marks a departure from Criss Angel BeLIEve, the eye-popping collaboration with Cirque du Soleil that ran for eight years at Las Vegas' Luxor Hotel. In 2019 he debuted Criss Angel RAW — The Mindfreak Unplugged, which brought his signature sleight of hand street magic, feats of mentalism and many of his most famous illusions into a stripped-down setting. By distilling his art to its purest essence, Angel found new ways to wow audiences and once again prove his reputation as the boldest figure in modern magic.
Criss Angel Background
A master of magic, illusion and mental feats, Criss Angel is thrilling whether he's performing in a lavish Las Vegas stage spectacular or wowing fans on the sidewalk outside. The streets of Times Square were where viewers got their first impression of Angel's intrepid approach to the formerly staid world of magic. In August 2002, he spent 24 hours shackled inside a cell filled with water in a daring performance that drew massive media exposure and became instantly iconic. The TV appearances and specials that followed culminated in the 2005 premiere of Criss Angel MINDFREAK, the A&E series that showcased his sleight of hand and mentalist abilities, as well as the uniquely edgy sensibility that marked him as magic's boldest new talent.
First presented at the Luxor in 2008, Criss Angel BeLIEve saw the illusionist team with Cirque du Soleil for the world's best-selling live magic show. Named Magician of the Century by the International Magicians Society in 2010, he has also presented his feats and illusions to audiences across the U.S. and internationally in such stage shows as Criss Angel MINDFREAK LIVE! and The Supernaturalists. In late 2018, he reached another career milestone when the Criss Angel Theater opened at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
