He was voted "Magician Of The Year" for 2001. Holds world records for "Body Suspension", Metemorphisis, and underwater endurence. Criss Angel: a new breed of artist.
So What are all these things? Submerged, Body Suspension, Metemorphisis... Well, Let me explain.
(keep in mind I did not see any of this live, I taped it from tv and I watch it religiously)
Submerged-In August 2001 Criss wanted to perform one of Harry Houdini's famous stunts. Only, a more extreme version. He was going to be submerged for 24 hours in the "Water Torture Cell" (don't worry, he could breathe. He had one of those snorckle things. I have been asked about that by many people who I have told that to.). After 24 hours he was to break out of nearly 10 pounds of chains, padlocks, and handcuffs, used by the New York City police department...... click here to read more
Body Suspension-Being Suspensed for 5 hours by 8 gauge hooks, Criss angel holds the second world record for "Body Suspension". I must admit, as much as I adore Criss Angel, I couldn't watch that! I'm too squeamish!
What I like about Criss
I like a lot of things about Criss. I like his eyes, his hair, the way he dresses.....But what I like most is the way he performs. When I first heard about him I was skeptical. I didn't beleive or like any of that "magic crap" but when I first saw his special on ABC Family, I was completely blown away. Whether what he does is real, or just illusions, he performs it well. He makes it really convincing.

This is a cool trick that Criss does in this picture. He broke the end off the fork without even touching it. I want to learn how to do that!

Criss Angel Performs "Metemorphisis" in Record time--In Under a second!
" I accomplish the Metamorphosis at a world record speed which is literally under a second and with a major twist. The switch is performed without a curtain - none of these things have ever been done before in the history of magic...." he says
