Born on December 19, 1967 (don't doubt it, CA is really 42 years old this year~), he is of Greek-American descent, born in Long Island, New York, USA.
His stage name is Criss Angel.
He is a magician among magicians, musician, escape artist, and stunt performer.
He created the Criss Angel Mindfreak television show, which premiered in July 2005, and had three seasons of unprecedented success. In the first 2 seasons, the show included: walking on water, flying on a trapeze, levitating above the Luxor Hotel, performing an escape in front of an audience, cutting himself up, and laying on shards of glass with a road roller.
During the third season of the show, Criss Angel was injured in an accident and stopped filming for three weeks.
Criss Angel, the widely admired hero wanted to transform into a mass media superstar. Angel is the rock star of magic, always appearing in a nostalgic gown, surrounded by beautiful women and children, and performing the same old tricks - with a preference for pain, great danger, and explicit sex. Angel's magic is always tied to profitability, reinvestment, and diversification. You expect to see Tommy Lee, but along comes Donald Trump, only with better hair.
However, the idea of a magician turning into a superstar is a "pipe dream", according to Richard Kaufman, editor of industry trade magazine Genii. In his view, only six magicians have done it, from Houdini to David Blaine, and "Angel is going to be next".
Next spring, Angel could embark on a three-month tour of Asia that is expected to earn up to $3 million. Meanwhile, magic tricks, DVDs, brand sponsorships, speaking engagements, a U.S. tour, and a Las Vegas casino show are all in the works. Angel earns $1.5 million a year, and his assistants dream of breaking David Copperfield's $57 million annual income. "The TV show offers me a built-in way of marketing. We can't create more art without spending money on reinvestment." So says Angel. More artwork means more money.
Who is Criss Angel after Cirque du Soleil and Celine. Who, after Cirque du Soleil and Celine Dion, is so charismatic that Las Vegas hotels are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a theater just for his shows? Criss Angel, who has been recognized by MTV's director as the man who holds the key to the future of magic, was just last year honored with the 22nd Louie Award and the 25th Telly Award, both of which he won.
In 2001, Criss Angel performed at the Underworld Theater in New York City. The World Underground Theater in New York City (The World Underground Theater) of a magic show not only caused a strong report in the New York press, in the magic world set off a strong hurricane shock, but also subverted the audience's perception of magic, the round stage in the middle of the audience, there is no so-called backstage can be hidden organs, the audience can be close to any angle from the performance, not only the audience will be able to see the performance from any angle, but also the audience will be able to see the performance. The audience can watch the show from any angle, not only the audience will pop out "How did he do it? and even the audience can't help but ask, "How did he do it? In just two years, the show has performed over 600 sold-out performances, with the New York Post giving the show four out of five stars immediately after its debut, and New York Magazine even teased David Kaubenfeld, one of the best in stage illusion magic, and the best in street paranormal magic, with a review of the show in the New York Times. New York Magazine has also featured David Copperfield, the leading illusionist on stage, David Bryce, the creator of street magic, and the granddaddy of escapology. David Bryce and Harry Houdini, the master of escape magic. Harry Houdini, and other masters of all types of magic to praise Chris Angel's performance. His performance not only encompasses the essence of all three, but also surpasses them in terms of power and creativity.
An incredible illusion? Absolutely real feeling!
Chris Angel's long hair, black eyes, and a sense of humor. Angel's long hair, black eyeshadow, black nails and other bizarre maverick dress as his alternative and unpredictable performances, such as up to ten floors of the upside-down escape show took only 2 minutes and 26 seconds to complete, with eight hooks through the back of the muscle suspended in the air for more than five hours, to stay in the water filled with about the size of the phone booth space up to 24 hours..... Chris, who is not restricted by space, is even more jaw-dropping in his spontaneous performances on the streets, easily strolling up the facade of a building, jumping into a small puddle of water where children are playing and disappearing, being covered by passers-by who randomly pick the garbage cans by the side of the road, and then waving his hand to the crowd of celebrities on the rooftop of the building ten seconds later, casually picking passers-by to hypnotize them to make them float in the air, and mind-reading with cards. ......, without any prior arrangement or venue setup, Chris Angel was like a man with supernatural powers. Angel is like an illusionary magician with superpowers who constantly challenges or creates extremely dangerous tricks.
When Chris brought all this magic (or magic, as you might call it) to the Broadway stage in 2001, he combined the rock 'n' roll magic of a Broadway show, the realism of a street performance, the surrealism of Cirque du Soleil, and a live, heavy-metal rock band to not only push the boundaries of what you can see, but also what you can hear and test the strength of your heart, creating an unprecedented illusionary magic show. It creates a new century of illusion magic that has never been seen before, and from now on, your traditional impression or definition of magic will have to be re-corrected. The illusion and the reality, the magic and the super power are intertwined.
In October 2005, Chris Angel's incredible illusionary magic was released. The magic of Chris Angel's incredible illusions is about to happen right before your eyes! With an alternative stage and supernatural magic performance, and a shocking and eerie music style, is it really just magic? Or is it .... Unbelievable superpower!" How did he do it?" is our typical reaction to most magicians, as is "Why did he do that?" is our normal reaction to Chris Ancho. He puts a quarter through the skin of his arm and then cuts the arm to get the quarter out. He puts razor blades in his mouth, like he's swallowing them and retrieves them with a string. He lets incredible monsters burst out of the chest (box). Undoubtedly, Chris is the master creator of shock and illusion.
Chris has been depicted with all sorts of titles, "a postmodern Houdini," ""("post- apocalyptic chic"), but it is clear that these are all just fancy descriptions to say that "he is definitely more than just a rabbit in a tuxedo out of a bowler hat". With his long, silky hair, black nail polish, and special all-black outfit, Chris looks like Rob Zombie. True to form, however, Chris isn't that far removed from rock and roll; he's not only the creator, director, and star of the entire illusion show, he also writes the music for the show. Despite the fact that this show is a magic show at the forefront of its time, a lot of his tricks come from some pretty old tropes: card tricks, being cut in half, box escape shows, etc., with variations. It's like a performer straight out of the Goethean Winds Cirque du Soleil with props adorning his massive show. This terrifying and dangerous modern-day Houdini isn't for everyone, but if you're in the mood for a slightly crazy and creepy Hollywood show, it won't disappoint.
Chris Ancho - a magician, street performer, showman, musician, and dancer with a dark Goethean necromantic style and a Cirque du Soleil whimsy - will be bringing his lurid and crazy work of mental whimsy to the world. Perhaps the real magic of Chris is the man who combines New York flair with Marilyn Manson's makeup, combining magic and illusion into a state of the art.
