The hottest magician in years takes us behind-the-scenes of his hit A&E show and offers secret tips to 25 illusions you won't see anywhere else. Criss Angel is poised to take the magic world by storm. He had his first 1-hour special on ABC in '01, headlined Madison Square Garden's annual Halloween special a year later to an audience of 60,000, performed in front of 75,000 people in Times Square, had two subsequent 1-hour specials on the Sci-Fi channel, he's received countless magician awards, and he currently has a groundbreaking show on A&E called CRISS ANGEL MINDFREAK, the first weekly magic show in over 40 years, that consistently wins its timeslot. MINDFREAK - the book - will be an extention of the show, which uses a specific topic each week - like 'Buried Alive', 'Bullet Catch', 'Building Walk', or 'Levitation' - to delve into the history of each subject, and see if Criss can't break new ground by doing something no one has done before. We are also going to try and include secrets in the book - clues to be dissected by readers - that relate back to magic he will perform on the show, where the book will be heavily promoted.… (more)

I really enjoyed the first half of the book, but skipped over the 40 magic tricks that constitute the second half. Criss comes across as both an extraordinary and humble person as he describes his personal history and his obsessive efforts to perfect his "demonstrations" - as he calls his magic events. His fearlessness and drive for excellence are inspiring. ( )

Criss Angel...where do I begin?
He is not only a magician, host of a TV sceries on A&E, but a musician too.
He came out this year with an autobiography of his life. The book is broken up into sections of his life. All the way down to his dad and how he died literally in his arms. In the last 40 or so pages of the book, he gives you 40 "Mindfreaks" you can master!
So, if you are a Criss Angel lover, loyal, or magician fanatic, Read it! ( )

I admire his perseverance in pursuing his career and he's an amazing showman - but this was not written well. Repetitive.

Favorite quote - "I think of myself as a ninja in every area of my life." ( )
