Considered the #1 magician in the world, Criss Angel’s visionary approach to the art escapes the confines of tradition and gives birth to a new breed of modern mysticism. From his role as a star, creator, executive producer and director of his hugely successful A&E television series “Criss Angel MINDFREAK” and his spectacular live show “Criss Angel BeLIEve” at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Criss has redefined the term “Artist” for the 21st Century.
