Known for his dark take on magic, gravity-defying illusions, and legendary showmanship, Criss Angel is an illusionist who has been variously named by the International Magicians Society as Magician of the Decade in 2009 and Magician of the Century in 2010. His interest in magic began at an early age and upon completing high school, he opted to tour the country with fellow performing artists instead of pursuing a more mainstream career. With a number of record-breaking illusions in his repertoire, Criss established his own TV Show that garnered much interest across the globe. Now largely based out of Las Vegas, Criss continues to dazzle audiences with his daring escape acts and on-stage illusions.
