Criss Angel Speaks For Himself
Filed under: Sin City > Criss Angel
Illusionist Criss Angel's much-hyped and long-awaited Crique du Soleil show debuted last month for audiences to preview at the Luxor in Las Vegas.
And, unfortunately for him, the show has gotten some really bad reviews..
The show, Believe, will officially premiere at the Luxor on Halloween, though it was originally scheduled to open on September 12th and the delay is causing people to wonder if it's going to suck.
So, now, Angel is doing damage control.
Holly Madison's "very good friend" is speaking out about his new show and trying to defend it. He says some people were confused about parts of the show that weren't supposed to be illusions, like the Cirque performers being suspended using cables above the stage.
In a new interview, he says, "I never set out to try to fool anybody. Those people are hanging from a line. They’re not supposed to be levitating or flying. They’re hanging from, you know, a typical Cirque rig."
As for the show being ready, he says it's not.
Criss admits, “Is the show done? No, it’s not done. We have a lot to do in the weeks coming. We have work to do but it’s not unexpected. We need a period of time to evolve and develop and to perfect and to utilize the audience as a barometer to be able to go through that process.”
But Angel thinks the show will be ready in time for Halloween.
He adds, "I think we’re in really good shape. People don’t stand (and applaud) if they hate something. People don’t stand if they feel that they didn’t get their money’s worth."
Tickets for Believe will range in prices from $59 to $150, plus taxes and fees.
The show will be performed twice a night, five times a week for the next ten years or longer.
He's working hard for his money!

Not sure why you put "Straight?" on him as it is more than clear he is straight. Not all hot guys play for your team Perez. I know that's your wish, but you'll have to give that one up.
WHAT A TOOL
Let's hang Angel from David Blaine's nutsack for 60 hrs.
what happened to the shit that was growing on his face?
wow! this is so fucking interesting!
BUTTCRACK!
He's so greasy, he sweats olive oil.
SLOW!
Re: Melissa is always right – BECAUSE HE'S GREEK, WOW THAT WAS FUCKING WITTY!
take a shower, cut your hair you GRODDY disgusting HOMO-sapien. holly madison should be ashamed to be seen with this FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOAH!
Re: LettyB – exactly
Seriously Perez, your site is so BORING now! Ever since you started this pathetic boycott of Sony BMG, you have nobody interesting to talk about. What’s with all the stories about politics, traumatic world events, and local town mayors? Yeah some of it may be important news, but you are meant to report on CELEBRITY GOSSIP. If/when I want to read legitimate news, I am sure as hell not going to come here to read it.
I find far more interesting things to read on the other blogs these days, about actual celebrities, not the D-listers you have been reduced to talking about all day long.
Do some of these people have any friends? I mean how could anybody who calls themselves a friend of his let him go out dressed like such a fool. I'm completely serious here, does that guy look in a mirror and thing "Damn, this handcuff necklace sure looks great"?
That has to be has to be his Halloween costume. Who dresses this D-lister, Justin Bobby???
wtf kind of look is that
Goddammit, Perez, it's CIRQUE, not CRIQUE. Get it right, ferchrissakes.
He always looks so dirty….yuck!
Perez-
You are right on this one! I stayed on the same floor as him in Vegas back in 2006. He was making out with a guy in the hallway!!! I have always laughed when I see pictures of him with girls! HE IS GAY!!!
Well no shit they're suspended from Lines Criss….do you honestly think people are stupid enough to think you can REALLY make them fly?
I can't stand him.
Is this the show that Wade Robson choreographed? I remember hearing something about Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil on the So You Think You Can Dance finale and then seeing some people dressed as rabbits. Is it the same show?

HE'S AN ASSHOLE DOUCHE BAG.
Ummm….is there enough demand for him to be in Vegas for 10 years??? I don't even know who this dude IS! If Bette Midler can't even sell a show out after she's been in LV a year, I sure as hell don't know how this dude expects to do it for a DECADE! Good luck with that!
He's the best illusionist ever! Admit it and get over it, LOSERS!
Loyal for Life!
WE SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY CRISS!!!!!!!!!!!
surely he's not charging people to see this half ass PRE-show…
just look at the picture- trying too hard dude to the point of desperate- and then his accent is awful- and TEN years - are u kidding??
That's a shame, that you are so jealous of what one man has created for himself. You're very pathetic… Mr. Angel, tell them to KISS what your mama gave you, and if they don't like that, tell them to come KISS what my mama gave me! That is what is wrong with the world today, People need to mind their own buisness…they wouldn't be hatin on you if it was them..So, Mr. Angel, I say to you…Mezmerized…tell them you don't care what they think! All my Affinity!
Here's to you—melissa is always right—He's so greasy-he sweats olive oil-
well girl, let me tell you: give me some romaine lettuce, i'll slap it on that body and lick him all over till I get the last drop………………………………………………
So the other times the people ARE flying or levitating? Magicians are gay. Who goes and watches this crap? Pick a card any card. Oh, you picked the homo card.
This guy is disgusting. What is he…about 5'2? Oh maybe 5"5…and he is trying to make up for it in very obvious ways. Maybe he has "a good personality" but I do NOT see the appeal AT ALL.
Criss, What the fuck have you been working on for the past year? or has Felix Rappaport not asked you this yet? …he will very shortly, certain of that.
I am stunned that Cirque would not insist on a ridiculously long rehearsal period for a show of this stature… what have all of you been doing for all of this time? and where did all of the preproduction money go? into a dove routine? …really???
You are now in the world of big boys with big companies and failure is not an option at this level especially when this type of funding is at stake… not to mention the very public implosion of your career.
Hope you enjoyed the ride up, the ride down is going to be ugly.
Gross! Hes posing for the picture…illllll…..
he likes havin his tittys sucked by 18 yr old boys.
quite the party hound.
in regards to—realhottips—I must say, maybe your not a criss angel fan: But everyone has a journey and it begins somewhere. Where's yours? What makes the difference in a rise or fall-I will pick up the pieces-or at least try-he just needs to remove the corn cob–I, as a real friend, will be there to support him again, again and again…FAILURE, my friend..is part of sucess! It's the ones that don't do anything in life that seem to complain the most!
the poor excuse for a 'show' called BeLIEve is the bomb. They need to change the name and remove Be — ve, because that is what it truly is. The stage, costumes and seats were okay for the price of admission. Everything else sucked a BIG one!
Don't see it if you have half a brain.
