Criss Angel Does Not Live Here

I have received several e-mails from people who think I might have some special access to Criss Angel and even one who thought I was Criss Angel!

I am a Criss Angel fan and I sometimes blog about him ( I even met him once ) but that's the extent of my relationship with Criss Angel, unfortunately!

I know Criss has a young following demographically, and judging by the tone, grammar, and vocabulary of some of these e-mails, I think most of them are from kids in grade school.

Given that kind of audience, I hope Criss will do more to set a good example for the kids out there who apparently really idolize him. They certainly do not have too many good role models in this brave new world. Criss is to these kids what Superman was to me when I was a wee lad --- many, many years ago. Some of us kids put on a cape and unfortunately a few of us attempted to fly off tall buildings. As Criss would say, do not attempt to duplicate his illusions at home! ( Or you might wind up in the next episode of the "Darwin Awards" ).

I would suggest that anybody wishing to contact Criss directly should write directly to his production company:

Criss Angel Mindfreak Production Office

Luxor Hotel

3900 Las Vegas Blvd S.

Las Vegas, NV 89119

And Criss, if you're reading this and have a better idea, well, please don't hesitate to contact me! ( I'm dreaming! )

Tonight's Episode 50 - Prisoner Transport Escape

According to the A&E Criss Angel episode guide.

Tuesday, July 10 10:30pm ET
Wednesday, July 11 2:30am ET
Sunday, July 15 7:00pm ET

After being locked in a mailbag, Criss will attempt to escape a caged truck filled with explosives as it races towards the edge of a cliff. Then he visits a golf course and shows off some golfing skills that even Tiger Woods would envy. He uses his unique powers on the fairways and putting greens, and shocks a group of golfers by levitating high over the course and the trees.
