(Sorted by date of seeing Criss Angel, latest date first.) If you have seen Criss Angel, please ADD your own comment. Date Seen: 10/09 I have to agree with many of the posts here, the show was a real disappointment in general... I, like many, were expecting much more of Criss' magic and mindfreak, and instead got a whole lot of cirque-clowning around... To be fair, Criss did some very cool numbers throughout the show, but this was far and few between... Also, the Luxor is cavernous inside - much larger than it appears on TV... I say this because it would seem his acts at the Luxor are intimate and often, but I never once saw him outside of the performance... <probe662 -at- yahoo.com> - USA - Added 10/24/09 - [72.64.189***] 8036 Date Seen: 10/09 - Bad Show I have to agree with many of the posts here, the show was a real disappointment in general...

Nothing like his tv show. < praephep -at- guerrillamailblock.com> - San Diego CA USA - Added 09/18/09 - [68.7.20***] 8029 Date Seen: 08/09 - Bad Show This show was HORRIBLE! My husband and I have seen many Vegas shows, and this was the worst. I was expecting something different and edgy, and was deeply disappointed. The illusions were old tired tricks we have all seen so many times: sawing someone in half, someone disappearing from under a sheet, making doves appear (from under a huge robe.... wow - like nobody could figure out where the doves were coming from?!?). The show lasted less than an hour and a half. I kept waiting for something amazing (or at least entertaining) to happen, but it never did. The audience wasn't impressed, although Criss seems very impressed with himself. The illusions were also few and far between, broken up by very lame Cirque performances consisting of people jumping around in aardvark and bunny costumes. I have seen O, Ka, Love, and Mystere (loved them all), and the Cirque performance in this show is just embarrassing. No acrobatic feats, no great dancing, just very awkward moves. They also attempted to incorporate a story, and it was just stupid. The best trick pulled off by Criss Angel was that he made our money disappear! Don't make the same mistake we did. If you want to see a good magic show, see Lance Burton. If you want to see an amazing Cirque show, go to O. <susanmwerner -at- att.net> - Derry NH USA - Added 08/04/09 - [207.126.196***] 8017 Date Seen: 04/09 - Bad Show Cirque almost destroyed it's own reputation with a horrid Zumanity. It has confirmed that it has run out of ideas. This is absolutely the worst show in Las Vegas. There is no magic until approximately 35 minutes into the show. Criss goes up to an audience member and comments on her breasts. He swore multiple times, causing an entire family to leave. He had no idea what he was doing, trying to encourage the audience to cheer before he had earned any cheers. In the end he embarassed himself by asking the audience to stand and cheer in his final trick. Nobody stood and nobody cheered. Criss has no stage talent, and the cirque/criss angel marriage is not working. The show is now about magic, and doesn't include any competent illusions. A monster waste of time, and a huge waste of money. <profess2000 -at- yahoo.com> - Turlock CA USA - Added 05/29/09 - [130.17.222.***] 8002 Date Seen: 12/08 - Bad Show One of the worst shows I've seen in LV. He said he had a ten year deal with Luxor. So sorry Luxor, bad decision. The tattoo and piercing freaks will probably like it, but I don't think the average will like it. I have seen him do better tricks on TV. <rccsmth2 -at- aol.com> - USA - Added 02/25/09 - [71.105.123.***] 7969 Date Seen: 12/08 - Good Show If you don't like or understand Criss Angel's type of illusion and magic stay home. He is not David Copperfield, Lance Burton, Siegried and Roy or Nathan Burton. He is unique and his show is unique and different. Enough Cirque influence to make it theatrical and enough of Criss's illusions to make it a "magic" show. Delves deep into Criss Angel's inner feelings and I found it enjoyable, somewhat unexpected, theatrically intriguing and an experience in Vegas I won't soon forget. Keep the kids home. I saw Mystere 3 times over the years but I don't think I would go to see Believe a second time. Not that type of a show. <ercbman -at- aol.com> - USA - Added 12/06/08 - [65.2.231***] 7943 Date Seen: 11/08 - Bad Show This like everything else is just an opinion...but what in the world are the producers of this show thinking?? This show is by far the WORST show EVER in the history of Vegas...are you kidding me?! Chris needs to clean up his act. Professionally and Personally...First off what made him popular in the first place is what hes good at, singing??? Come on!! People arent coming to hear him sing! They are expecting magic and illusion...hes sold out his audience...Not to mention his reputation in town as being a whore...its petty bad. Reputations are built on many acts and lost by his current acts...its a good thing people are focusing on him and Holly, (his item for the week) because it takes the eye off of his horrific show reviews but thats going to be a 100 million dollar project going right down the toilet where by the way...this show belongs...they need to refund everyone's money and rethink this whole thing... <pkerkos -at- gmail.com> - Beverly Hills CA USA - Added 11/12/08 - [70.170.78.***] 7931 Date Seen: 10/08 - Bad Show Sadly this was a terrible show, absolutely terrible. People actually began to leave at the halfway point. Cris seems to have abandoned the principles of magic that have made him famous. The magic is not "magic" and no longer meets the "test" conditions that have made Mindfreak so popular, Cris seems to be more concerned in appearing without his shirt on as much as possible. I have been a fan and student of magic for almost 40 years, competed at the world grand prix and am passionate about the craft. The worst part is that even the cirque element is unsatisfactory,it comes across more as an elaborate costume show more than anything else. Cris if you or your team read these reviews, I urge you to return to your roots and give the guest the kind of true "magical" experience that they have come to expect, your overtly artistic efforts fall flat and seem forced. You clearly have tremendous talent, but we all need to pay to our strengths. <sanjay -at- cruise-connections.com> - Vancouver BC CANADA - Added 11/27/08 - [24.81.8.***] 7937 Date Seen: 10/08 I am going to see it on Oct 17th and I am thrilled to be able to be a part of this... I have met Criss several times and he is a warm, loving and understanding person, who really loves his fans and loyals. I am upset with the bad reviews about his show...it comes from people who are expecting this to be an extention of his MindFreak show. It is a Cirque show...with the added attraction of Criss. <catdrummer912 -at- bellsouth.net> - Mims FL USA - Added 10/10/08 - [72.146.125.***] 7919 Date Seen: 10/07 - Bad Show Worst show we have ever seen in Vegas in years. Too much Cirque and very little Chriss Angel. The story line was terrible and the Cirque aspect ruined the entire show. Chriss Angel should have stayed on his own and done his show the same as he does his television shows. <mesford -at- cogeco.ca> - Kingston ON Canada - Added 10/25/08 - [67.193.161.***] 7922 Comment Disclaimer: No attempt has been made to verify or assure the accuracy of the above comments.
