About Criss Angel
For more than a decade, Criss Angel has dominated the world of magic as
the biggest name on the planet. From his role as star, creator,
executive producer and director of Criss Angel MINDFREAK on
A&E, to countless critically acclaimed television specials, best-selling
books, top-grossing retail products, sold-out touring shows and more,
Criss is the most influential and imitated magician of the modern era.
His acclaimed series MINDFREAK on A&E is the most successful
magic show in television history, resulting in more hours of magic
during prime time than any magic show ever. His decade-long live show
residency at Luxor Las Vegas was hailed as the “#1 Best-selling Magic
Show in Las Vegas” (Extra) and “The #1 Magic Show of All Time!”
(Las Vegas Review-Journal) and generated $150 million in revenue
in 2010 as reported by Newsweek.
Angel is also the most watched magician in television and internet
history, a YouTube sensation. His “Walk on Water” clip has generated
over 60 million views alone, and all of his clips combined have
generated more than 300 million views. Criss has the largest social
media following of any illusionist, with over six million followers.
In 2017, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce honored Criss with the
2,615th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star was dedicated at
7018 Hollywood Boulevard next to the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
and across the street from the star of Houdini.
Criss has been named “Magician of the Year” an unprecedented six times,
was the youngest magician inducted into the International Magicians
Society Hall of Fame, was named the first recipient of “Magician of the
Decade,” as well as “Magician of the Century” and “Innovator of the
Decade.” Most recently, Angel was given the highest honor in the magical
arts – the Lifetime Achievement Award from the largest and most
prestigious magic organization in the world (the nearly one
hundred-year-old International Brotherhood of Magicians). It has only
been given five times in the IBM’s history, and Criss is the youngest
artist ever to receive it and the only magician performing today that
has been presented with this award.
