THANKFULLY i didnt upgrade the free tix i would have slapped myself. the show was eh, the effects we not to bad, the sideshow guys were pretty funny " foo foo foo" we still laugh at that, the trick with the birds was pretty cool but other than that where was criss angel the whole time, the guy up on stage sounded like him on the soundtrack, but didnt make it better being prerecorded. the planted fans at the start of the show doesnt help at all. its to bad he is dragging his name down, but he's already paid so what does he care. I wouldnt advice someone to watch it but i wouldnt tell someone hey you should watch it. If they are his fans let them judge, we all go to watch magic to be entertained, I was for a bit then criss angel kept "showing up"
beLIEve is true, its all a lie should have watched lance burton!!!

I WAS a big fan of Mindfreak, but I’m now convinced that the only trick Criss Angel can perform without a hitch on a nightly basis is ripping off anyone who sees this show. I STILL feel ripped off from the show I saw back then.

This show never should have ever gotten the green light to proceed after the reviews of the preview shows. Every element should have gone back to the drawing board and the show shelved indefinitely until something could be put on the stage that would indeed blow everyone's mind.

If it is still that bad, even with free tickets to the show, just don’t go! You won't lose any money, but you will lose time that you will never get back! I'm sure you can find anything else to do in Vegas that will be more enjoyable. The only way to get this show shut down once and for all is an empty theater. Cirque should be totally embarrassed for associating themselves with this show.

The title says it all I guess: BeLIEve

LIE #1: Magic and illusions like nothing you've ever seen! (Truth: Not even close!)
LIE #2: That this is even a good show (Truth: Worst show I, and apparently MANY others, have ever seen)
LIE #3: That Criss Angel can perform live (Truth: Without cameras, editing and planted "fans," he's terrible)
LIE # 4: That Criss Angel has a stage presence (Truth: Stage props have more presence and do just as little)

Just stay away, FAR away from this show!

The little actual magic performed was amateur, the banter Chris provided consisted of him repeatedly telling the audience we were all drunk. What a waste of time and money. The conceirge at my hotel would not sell the tickets because it was not considered a recommended show, I should have listened

I saw it in Vegas on May 19th. It was hard to watch as he received hesitated applause. I really felt embarrassed for him. Don't waste your money or time. Buy Terry Fator tickets instead he makes his turtle levitate at half the cost.

I have seen 5 different Cirque du Soleil shows and this was by far, the worst of them all! In fact is was the worst show I have ever seen.

Michele Hogan wrote on May 16, 2009 07:20 PM: WHAT A WASTE Of $1OO.OO!!!! I was more than disappointed. I was in awe that i paid that much money for such a lame show. What magic he did do (and there was little) was so oviously fake! We also went to see Mac King at Harrahs for much less money and had a blast. Very very funny man!
