Mindfreak

We wanted to give a shout out to Criss Angel. Criss is in no way new to magic or to music. He has been working very hard at his craft for decades to become the showman you’ve been seeing on TV regularly for the past year. Taking the words direct from Rob Zombie’s mouth, “Criss Angel has kicked magic in its tied old ass.” Not since Mark Wilson’s Magic Circus which first aired in 1970 has there been a magic show in U.S. syndication. Wilson also trained Bill Bixby in the 1973 series The Magician.

Up until just last year we all had to wait until a special was on the tube. We would all look forward to seeing Doug Henning, David Copperfield, Lance Burton, The World’s Greatest Magic, David Blaine and the many others. These specials were a great treat but they came around so few and far between and we were hungry for more. Criss had a few specials of his own, including his first American TV special Supernatural .

Next was his live show Mindfreak at the WWF theater in Manhattan. When the show closed he took Mindfreak on a world tour. Not soon after A& E’s launched the prime time series Mindfreak. The premier episode was number one in the ratings .

These days, Criss is everywhere and the public is eating it up. Criss, we want to congratulate you on all of your success. Your efforts have really paid off and it appears as if there is no stopping you. Keep it up!

Your successful series has generated more interest in magic than ever before. So many laypeople want to learn the art of magic. We see it in our store everyday. The magicians 20 years from now will be saying “Criss Angel got me started.”

Now in the prime of his career as a performer, Criss has elected to become a devoted teacher of magic. Even sharing some of his very own secrets!

He has a book coming out and season two of Mindfreak will air shortly. We wish you continued success.

Our shop is on Long Island, Criss’ home turf. Because of that we get many new comers to magic. They come into our store talking about you, how nice you are and how encouraging you are. Because of you Criss, we’re making new friends each and everyday. We are privileged to share their enthusiasm. So thanks again, for everything.

We know you have a very busy schedule but when you get a free moment come down and say hello. It has been a while.
