Did anyone see it? I'd like to hear comments on what you thought.

I didn't see it, but I saw some of the previews and I am guessing maybe pre recorded stuff? That they just played during the implosion.

I didn't see it either. I don't have cable or satellite. Is there a video on the web somewhere to view it?

Until we appear again,

Hello Taylor,

My thoughts exactly. I thought it was pretty lame and quite obvious to anyone watching. I was hoping for at least some sort of cool appearance at the end like Copperfield did years ago when he did the original implosion stunt.

Best,

Tim

I didn't see it so I didn't know, Criss didn't pop up in the crowd at the end?

I just refused to watch it...why wouldn't he do something a little different than what had been done in the past?

You got me there Michael,

I don't watch Mindfreak for many reasons. A fellow magician called me as asked me to put it on and after saying to him... NO INTEREST... I promised to watch the live show so I could give him my opinion.

Well I watched it and nothing has changed in my opinion.......ugh. LOL

Best,

Tim

I did find a link to the story done by the local channel 10 television station. They even referred to Criss Angel as a side show. The reporters and the audience seemed to say the real show was the building going down. It seemed they really had to milk the reactions to Criss' part of the show.

My favorite part ( and the most hilarious) was the stare he did into the camera before they went to commercial. I think it was supposed to look dramatic but it came across more like this.....

Haha. Personally I don't like Criss because of his ego and the way he over uses the range of camera and paid actors. I don't like his ego of being great, so he gets whatever he wants. I hate his presentation of things to kids, like take for instance... I am performing for a kid, and a kid says you can't levitate as high as Criss Angel. That just pisses me off, that every magician now almost has to be compared to Criss. So I had no plan of watching it.
