I was born in December 19, 1967, better known by his stage name Criss Angel, I'm an American magician, illusionist, musician, escapologist, and stunt performer. You know me best for starring in his own television show, Criss Angel Mindfreak. I'm a of Greek descent. I was raised in East Meadow, Long Island, New York.

I'm the star and creator of the A&E Network show Criss Angel Mindfreak. Seasons 1 and 2 were filmed at The Aladdin in Las Vegas, with Season 3 at the Luxor Hotel. Premiering on July 20, 2005, the illusions have included walking on water, levitating above the Luxor Hotel (in the light of 39 lightbulbs that can be seen from space), floating between two buildings, causing a Lamborghini to disappear, surviving in an exploding C4 Crate, cutting himself in half in full view of an audience and getting run over by a steamroller while lying stomach down on a bed of glass. Also in season 3 he was known for jumping out of a moving car. I was injured and stopped my production for 3 weeks.

I was collaborated with Cirque du Soleil to create Criss Angel Believe, a live show at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas, which stars (me), I was the "co-writer, illusions creator and designer, original concept creator and star.

After several delays, the show was set for a Gala opening on October 31, 2008, with preview shows in late September. The initial preview was not well received, with thoroughly negative audience reactions. The show opened to equally harsh reviews which cited a lack of my magic is known for, as well as a confusing and uninteresting theme.

In April 2009, I was ended a performance of BeLIEve by "hurling obscene insults" at Perez Hilton, who was an audience member. Hilton reportedly had Twittered to his fans during the performance that the show was "unbelievably BAD" and that he'd "rather be getting a root canal", and word had gotten back to me by the end of the performance.
