Name: criss angel.

Birthday: 1967 65438+February19.

Original name: christopher nicholas sarantakos.

Nationality: Greek-American

Born: Long Island, new york, USA.

He is a magician, musician, escape performer and stuntman.

The TV program "Criss Angel Mindfreak" founded by him was first broadcast in July 2005, and all three programs have achieved unprecedented success. The programs of the first two seasons include: water walking, trapeze, magnetic levitation over Luxor Hotel, performing escape in front of the audience, cutting one's body and pressing one's body on broken glass with a roller.

In the filming of the third season, criss angel was accidentally injured and stopped filming for three weeks.

Criss angel, a widely admired hero, wants to become a mass media superstar. Angel is a rock star in the wizarding world. He always appears in a nostalgic dress, accompanied by beautiful women and children, and performs old-fashioned tricks-preferring pain, great danger and explicit sex. The magic of angels is always closely related to profit rate, reinvestment and diversification. You expected to see Tommy Lee, but Donald Trump appeared, only with more beautiful hair.

However, Richard Kaufman, editor of the industrial trade magazine Genii, believes that magicians cannot become superstars. In his view, only six magicians did it, from Houdini to Brann, and "angels will be next".

Next spring, Angel may start a three-month trip to Asia, with an estimated income of $3 million. At the same time, magic, DVD, brand sponsorship, exhibition, American tour and Las Vegas casino performance plan are all in preparation. Angel's annual income is $654.38+$5,000, and his assistants dream of surpassing david copperfield's annual income of $57 million. "TV programs provide me with an inner.

Marketing methods of home furnishing. If we don't reinvest our money, we can't create more works of art. "said the angel. More art means more money.

Who is criss angel? After Cirque du Soleil and Celine Dion, he has such great charm that hotels in Las Vegas are willing to spend hundreds of millions of RMB to build a theater for his performance. This man was once praised by the director of MTV as a strongman who mastered the new trend of magic in the future-criss angel, and just won the 22nd Louis Prize and 25th Terry Prize last year.

In 200 1 year, criss angel's magic performance in the new york World Underground Theater not only caused strong reports in new york newspapers, but also caused strong hurricane vibration in the magic circle, subverting all audiences' cognition of magic. The circular stage stands among the audience, and there is no so-called hidden organ in the background. The audience can watch the performance from any angle, not only the audience will jump out of "How did he do it?" ",even colleagues can't help but ask" why did he do it? In just two years, there were more than 600 performances, and all the tickets were sold out. New York Post spoke highly of the four stars immediately after the premiere. New york magazine even ridiculed various magic representatives, such as david copperfield, david brian, Harry Houdini, the master of stage illusion and street supernatural magic, to appreciate criss angel's performance, because his performance not only contains the essence of the three, but also has far-reaching skills and creativity.

Incredible hallucinations? Absolutely true feeling!

Chris Angel's long hair, black eye shadow, black nails and other weird and maverick clothes are just like his other unpredictable performances. For example, the inverted escape show of Gundam 10 floor can be completed in 2 minutes and 26 seconds. Eight hooks hung through the muscles of his back for more than 5 hours, and he stayed in a space about the size of a telephone booth filled with water for 24 hours ... and Chris, who is not limited by space, is even more jaw-dropping. Take a walk on the outer wall of the building, jump into the puddle where the children play, and then disappear. Passers-by randomly chose the trash can on the roadside to cover him. Ten seconds later, Chris has waved to the celebrities on the roof, and randomly selected passers-by to hypnotize people and let them float in the air, read cards and read minds ... Without any prior arrangement or venue layout, criss angel is like an illusion magician with super powers, constantly challenging or creating extremely dangerous skills.

In 200 1 year, when Chris put all these magical magic (or you can also call it magic) on the Broadway stage, Chris combined the Broadway-style rock magic performance, the realism of street performance, the surrealism of Cirque du Soleil and the live heavy metal rock band, which not only challenged the visual limit and shocked the hearing, but also tested your inner strength and created an unprecedented new century of illusion magic. Since then, your magic tradition. The interweaving of illusion and reality, magic and superpowers.

June 5438+October 2005 10, criss angel's incredible magic will happen before your eyes! Extraordinary stage and supernatural magic performance, coupled with shocking and weird music style, is this really just magic? Or ... incredible power! "How did he do it?" It is our typical reaction to most magicians, such as "why did he do this?" Is our normal reaction to Chris Ann Joe. He put a quarter through the skin of his arm, then cut his arm and took it out. He put shaving blades in his mouth as if to swallow them, and then took them back with a thread. He let the incredible monster rush out of his chest (box). There is no doubt that Chris is a master of shock and illusion.

Chris has been described as a variety of titles, such as "a postmodern Houdini" and "post-patriotic chic", but obviously these are just fancy descriptions to explain that "he definitely didn't just change from a top hat to a rabbit in an evening dress". With long silky hair, black nail polish and all-black special clothes, Chris looks like the reappearance of rob zombie, the demon of heavy metal rock. However, it is true that Chris is not much different from rock music. He is not only the creator, director and star of the whole illusion show, but also composes music for the performance. Although this program is a magic show that is ahead of the times, many of his magic tricks come from some quite old themes: card magic, being cut in half, box escape show and so on. And then change them. Just like a performer and props coming directly from the Goethe-style Cirque du Soleil dressed up for his big performance. This horrible and dangerous modern Houdini is not suitable for everyone, but if you are in the mood to watch a slightly crazy and creepy Hollywood show, it will never let you down.

Criss angel-with a Goethe-style dark mourning style, with

What's strange about Cirque du Soleil is that

A magician, a street performer, a performer, a musician and a dancer-will come all over the world with his frightening and crazy works. Maybe Chris really is.

The real magic is that this person combines the characteristics of new york with the temperament (makeup) of Marilyn Manson, and combines magic with illusion to reach the artistic realm.
