Fans shouldn’t go to his show expecting Mindfreak or Cirque. It’s a meld of the two that brings something new and original. I work with Cirque and fans are being unneccesarily hard on the show because they’re expecting it to be Mindfreak. My co-worker saw the show and enjoyed it! Criss did co-write the show, but doesn’t sing in it anymore…

THE CARTOON IS PRICELESS!

SAW THIS CRAP BEFORE OPENING NIGHT AND TRY AS I MAY, CANNOT SEEM TO ERASE THOSE TRAUMATIC MEMORIES.

MAYBE CIRQUE DU SOLAME SHOULD OPENING “TITANIC” NEXT.

aaahhhhh, BRILLIANT! Thanks for this. I couldn’t have said it better. Even with my free tickets, I have nothing good to say about the performance. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage. I can’t stop getting Criss Angel’s “ta-da” movements out of my head. Button up your shirt at least, Criss. Save the flesh for Holly.

It’s a shame Cirque du Soleil is tied to this “stinker.” Great job of trashing the show while at the same time giving Cirque a “pass” on this one.

Indeed, Jerk du Solame is brilliant.

Drug Henning? Ouch! (The truth hurts) Angel and Blaine are doing some serious PR damage to the art of magic. The “Believe” review link you provided (GREAT review, by the way) started with two words:

No wonder.

Perfect! Magic is all about rekindling a sense of wonder in folks. Here’s a good discussion with some interesting magic folks that probably won’t have a Cirque du Soleil show or be frozen in ice any time soon:

And if you are even mildly interested in magic you should read the article Adam Gopnik wrote that inspired this video called “The Real Work: Modern Magic and the Meaning of Life” – it’s available online here:
