Criss Angel has established himself as a prominent illusionist, musician, and television personality, generating significant revenue for Las Vegas tourism and consistently pushing the boundaries of magic. After performing in ‘World Of Illusion’ at Madison Square Garden in 1998, Criss Angel achieved widespread recognition with his off-Broadway stage show ‘Mindfreak,’ which ran for nearly 600 performances from 2001 to 2003. This early success propelled him into television, beginning with the ‘Criss Angel Mindfreak’ special on ABC Family in 2002 and ‘Criss Angel Supernatural’ on the Sci-Fi channel in 2003. He continued to expand his televised presence with ‘The Science of Magic II’ in 2003 before launching his breakthrough A&E channel series, ‘Criss Angel Mindfreak,’ which aired from 2005 to 2010.
Continuing his innovative live performance legacy, Angel premiered the stage show ‘Mindfreak LIVE!’ in 2014 and ‘The Supernaturalists’ in 2015. His profound impact on entertainment was further recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2017 and the International Brotherhood of Magicians Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. After a decade of unprecedented success at the Luxor, Criss Angel launched an entirely new ‘MINDFREAK’ show at the custom-built Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood in 2019, consistently generating significant revenue for Las Vegas tourism. In 2022, he returned to television with ‘Criss Angel’s Magic with the Stars,’ which aired on The CW, and was honored with ‘The Greatest of All Time’ award by Vanish magazine, further solidifying his status as a leading figure in magic.
