Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Like a post-millennial Harry Houdini--crossed with Aerosmith's Joe Perry--Criss Angel is the illusionist as rock star. He's got the hair, the eyeliner, even the medallions. As it turns out, he's also a musician, who wrote and performed the theme song (with Korn's Jonathan Davis). A&E's Mindfreak, a 15-episode series, follows three TV specials and a Broadway spectacular. For those who may be wondering, Angel defines a "mindfreak" as "a modern day mystifier who utilizes skills beyond the category of magic." The basic format of the 30-minute program, which was renewed for a second season, is documentary meets music video meets magic show. In the pilot, Angel (née Christopher Sarantakos) gets things off to a "crackling" start when he sets himself on fire ("Burned Alive"). It is, to say the least, a rather unconventional way to pay tribute to his mother on the occasion of her 70th birthday. As the mindfreak himself puts it, "I'll be the living birthday candle." In other episodes, he defies gravity ("Levitation"), lifts a cab ("Superhuman"), and blows himself up ("C4 Crate"). Angel is also a practitioner of street magic and performs a variety of sleights of hand (card tricks, etc.) prior to the more hazardous feats. From the start, Angel makes it clear that he requires assistance with those feats and is often joined by an array of consultants, technicians, and such, including brothers J.D. and Costa. Then there are his guests, like Lance Burton ("Wine Barrel Escape"), Rob Zombie ("Buried Alive"), and Mandy Moore ("Blind")--even his cat, Minx, and girlfriend, JoAnn, put in occasional appearances. As with Jackass, Mindfreak is meant to entertain rather than to instruct. Accordingly, it comes with the following disclaimer: "These demonstrations are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, at any time." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Product Description
Go behind the scenes with today’s most exciting master of surreality in CRISS ANGEL: MINDFREAK. A cross between Harry Houdini, Cirque Du Soleil and Fear Factor, each mind-boggling episode of CRISS ANGEL: MINDFREAK captures the creative genius at work, preparing and training for his often death-defying feats. From levitating ordinary American citizens, to literally dangling by his skin from a helicopter one thousand feet above the Valley of Fire in Las Vegas, Criss Angel brings his extraordinary talents to the streets of Ameria--live, unstaged and without the use of any camera tricks. On DVD for the first time, experience all 15 episodes from the critically acclaimed debut season of CRISS ANGEL: MINDFREAK, starring the world’s only 3-time Magician of the Year, and featuring celebrity guests like Jonathan Davis of Korn, Mandy Moore, and Penn & Teller.

FOREFRONT of the MAGIC WORLD, December 27, 2005
Reviewer:Chris Kennison (Jefferson City, Mo United States) - See all my reviews
David Blaine and Criss Angel are the forefront of magic in the new century. Why? Gone are the parlor tricks we've become so accustom to, and now we have magic that will make watch in wonder... how did they do that? Tricks on the street, with common observers. Tricks that not only take illusion, slight of hand and craftsmanship, but also take MENTAL TOUGHNESS and PREPAREDNESS.
Some of the more dazzling things that Criss Angel does in season one will leave you awe-struck. Like when he walks DOWN THE SIDE OF A VEGAS BUILDING... or WALKS THROUGH A GLASS WINDOW. Even the little things... like levitating a frisbee that had landed on the ground, spinning it up to eye level and throwing it to an observer without ever toughing it. Or don't let me forget when he walks up to some random people in a park, puts a young girl into a trace, bends her BACKWARD at a 90 degree angle and then LEVITATES HER ENTIRELY.
Of course there's the time when he levitates HIMSELF. I'm not talking a few inches off the ground like David Blaine did previously. I'm talking feet. Three feet. Four Feet. High enough to lift himself over a good sized dog. Not taking anything away from the equally incredibly David Blaine, but a nearby observer spoke the SAYS IT ALL COMMENT, "Blaine needs to kiss this guys ass."
I don't know about that... Criss still hasn't done anything close to the most amazing trick that David Blaine did. Removing a wrist watch from a woman... walking a few feet down the street to a jewelry store where the woman's watch was displayed in the window... and being after hours, the store was closed, so he put his hand and arm through the glass right before our eyes and retrieves the watch. Or creating water, wearing a sleeveless shirt with a single leaf for a jungle tribe that had no running water.
Okay, okay... back to Criss Angel. The show is incredible. I watch it religiously. One of the things I find enduring about the show is the fact that Criss' brothers are part of his crew and it's kinda cool to see them worry about him when he does his tricks... even though... sometimes it looks sorta staged.
Also, the fact that he includes other magicians in his show, like Lance Burton, Penn & Teller & the Amazing Johnathan. I'm just waiting for the 2 part episode where him and David Blaine team up... dear lord... wouldn't that be great!
If anybody out there is complaining about Criss Angel and the validitiy of his tricks... I'd like to see the magicians that they're watching because I can't imagine that magic could get much better.

Why compare him to Blaine, Copperfield, etc.?, December 16, 2005
Reviewer:CQ DX (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviewsFirstly, let me say that the comparisons to Blaine, Copperfield, Penn & Teller, etc. are completely infantile and plain stupid. Why compare? Criss Angel is NOT in competition with these other guys. They are all consummate professionals in magic and illusion art, and all quite successful. Each has his OWN STYLE people! Sheesh! That said, "Mindfreak" is a highly entertaining show with great, mindblowing tricks/effects. It is top-notch professional entertainment, and Criss Angel has the ability to draw you in with his easy-going, magnetic personality! Truly great stuff.

Truthfully, Criss Angel has Image, Very beautiful person. , May 9, 2006
A Kid's ReviewLike i said in the subject line, he appeals to alot of ladies because he has the image-he has the looks. I don't believe in magic at all, but one thing i do know is that this man is a beautiful man. He is not anglo saxon, but middle anglo (a totally different world from the white anglo)you could say...he is Meditterean. He has substance, how do you say? He has feeling and emotion in the things that he does. I saw a picture of him dressed as the crow (like brandon lee), he looks excellent, a very attractice man. Magicians and envious fans may put down his magic but you never hear of them placing/putting down his looks. He is blessed By God (in the dept of looks). If you want to see a beautiful man do magic, go on ahead and buy this and enjoy his stunts (or whatever). I say this in good faith, but i don't believe in Magic.

Criss Angel - Mindfreak - The Complete Season One, March 14, 2006
Reviewer:Candy Bell "Betty's Glory" (Chas. SC, US) - See all my reviews
I have only recently caught glimpses of Criss Angel's magic...and that was because my husband channel surfs so fast...but when I got a shot of HIM, I made my husband go back immediately! So sorry that I missed this first season, A&E was not a station I frequented that time of night...BUT when I found the complete season for sale, believe me I jumped on it. Criss Angel is not only HAWT, but he is so very talented! Illusionist on a well planned stage can hide cables and whatever it takes to do thier illusions,but Criss does his on the street and with ordinary people. He works hard to show you that there is no camera tricks, no cables, no hoky poky involved...He does some awesomely amazing things that will freak you OUT! Not called MindFreak for nothing! I'm a member of his loyal fans now! see: crissangel.com for more

Criss Angel - MINDLESS, February 22, 2006
Reviewer:Magic Insider (PA, USA) - See all my reviewsMany magicians know that Angel is a fake. Originally, he wanted to have his band get a record deal, so his parents financed his hobby. In fact, they took out a mortgage to buy him illusions after he saw Arioch (The FIRST Hard Rock Illusionist) on MTV with Skid Row and Motley Crue. He used to tell club owners in New York that he was just using magic as a gimmick to get his band signed. Apparently, his mommy will give her boy as much money as he wants to buy toys, and he steals from magicians who actually work for what they have. after David Blaine made it big, Angel claimed to be the greatest street magician. Lance Burton used a robot illusion, a few months later, Angel had one. Simon Drake used assistants in cool outfits, Angel copied that. Anyone can buy TV time and illusions, but they will never be able to buy talent. If Angel didn't have so many paid stooges and rich parents, he would still be trying to get his band signed. Hopefully he will get signed, and leave magic to the magicians. FORBES magazine wrote that he screwed up an escape and had to scream for his crew to let him out. How lame can you get? Copperfield, Blaine, Burton, Arioch, and others have no competition with this clown.
