Criss Angel
Criss Angel was born on December 19, 1967 in East Meadow, New York. He made his prime-time television debut in the 1994 ABC one-hour special, "Secrets" and headlined Madison Square Garden in 1998. He launched the A&E reality TV series "Criss Angel: Mindfreak" in 2005 and has since partnered with Cirque du Soleil.
Angel fell in love with magic at 7, when his Aunt Stella showed him a card trick. "From that day on, I was hooked," Angel remembers. "I felt this incredible sense of power that an adult didn't understand how it worked, but I did." He practiced magic tricks obsessively, and gave his first magic show at the age of 12—at a neighbor's birthday party, for a fee of $10. While attending East Meadow High School, Angel performed frequently at neighborhood restaurants. He was a regular act at a Long Island restaurant called the Wine Gallery, where Angel says his tips "could easily clear a hundred dollars on a good night."
Some of the show's most infamous stunts include Angel walking on water, splitting a woman in half in a public park, and flying over the Valley of Fire while suspended from a helicopter by his bare skin. One of the most popular shows ever to air on A&E, Criss Angel Mindfreak has run for five seasons.
Besides his career as an illusionist, Angel is also a musician. He has released five albums, a self-titled trilogy and two soundtracks forCriss Angel Mindfreak. In 2007, Angel published a memoir,Mindfreak: Secret Revelations, which appeared on the Los Angels Times bestsellers list.
Angel's live and televised performances have earned him the International Magicians Society's prestigious "Magician of the Year" designation a record five times (2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008).
