Sep 30 2008Criss Angel magically sucks ass in Vegas

Criss Angel gave fans a special preview of his $100 million Cirque Du Soleil show "Believe" over the weekend, and what do you know? It TANKED. Audience members reportedly walked out of the theater and demanded their money back after witnessing an epic fail covered in douche sauce, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal:
"Everyone in the bathroom was chanting 'bull----'" from the urinals, Damon Ranger of Chicago told me Saturday. "It was absolutely awful. You can 'Believe' how bad it is -- because it's terrible!"
People streamed out of the theater on Saturday screaming about how poor it was. A group of six women was led by a woman yelling furiously, demanding their money back.
"Dude, it's a train wreck," Ranger said. On a scale of 1 to 10, he declared "Believe" a zero. Two other Angel fans, Steve Moffett and Jordan Wilson, flew in from London for Friday's debut.
"We were hysterical about coming. We came. It was a waste of time," Wilson said. "The magic's not even magic." Moffett and Wilson walked out before the ending, because Angel started singing the finale, a cover of his "Mindfreak" TV theme song.
"He broke into song. I said, 'He's singing. Now we're leaving,'" Wilson said.
Jesus Christ, he sings?! Wow. I guarantee you if I were in that audience, I would've rushed the stage and repeatedly punched Criss Angel in the uvula. Then I'd disappear! SHAZAM where's the fire exit?
Thanks to Steve who's holding the Jack of Clubs.

I thought this doesn't open for another month? Or that's what it says on the Cirque du Soleil website.

Only douche bags were their hats crooked. Like those short bus riding kids who try so hard to dress themselves, but realy cant.
The chick is kind of hot though.

11. havoc - September 30, 2008 9:26 AM
A lisping magician with painted black fingernails, no fashion sense and more bling than Snoop Dog. What could possibly suck?
It tanked because there were no camera tricks which is how he achieves 99% of his illusions.
I'd rather watch Carrot top lift weights. Or grass grow....

He just has that "I want someone to punch me real hard in my over-sized nose, and what very little that I have of cock and balls" look.

So its a lame off contest between David Blaine and C.A.?
14. ph7 - September 30, 2008 9:32 AM
Can we all agree the term "douchebag" had its run, and should be discarded? It's more overused than Heather Locklear's pharmacist.
15. Rant - September 30, 2008 9:32 AM
Uh, #8, I am just a Canadian. But, isn't Obama running against John McCain? I think all this Palin bashing and Palin vs. Obama mentality is because they realize she has the ability to change the outcome of the race.
It is such a shame because Bush's antics should have handed the presidency over to the Democrats on a silver platter. But once again it looks like it may be another race to close to call.
16. You guys are SO WRONG about Chris Angel! Clickety click! - September 30, 2008 9:38 AM
You guys! You're so WRONG!!! You can't call Chris a douch-bag! You GOTTA look at the video! :

He's a genius! MY GOD!!! He's a fuckin' GENIUS!!!

#8 , I apoligize you did not slam Palin, my mistake. I'm so used to it, one just assumes you see the word Palin = Slam.

I declare post #16 was not written by Chris Angel himself.
19. friendlyfires - September 30, 2008 9:44 AM
Has he been fired by Vegas? Has James Caan come out with a lead tail pipe and made a serious impression on this douchenozzle?
20. Thank you! - September 30, 2008 9:44 AM
@ #18: Hey thanx! I'm his biggest fan! You will be too after you watch the video and see just how it's done!!!
Also, can I meet with you? I wanna meet Chris! Can I work for you guys? Huh? Please, pretty please, with sugar on top?

Personally I think he is not as great as he thinks he is. I saw Copperfield last year and that definitely was a waste of time/money. He is another
guy who think he is better than he actually is, when I can spot the
errors, its gotta be bad. lol.
24. HorribleJudgment - September 30, 2008 10:07 AM
Well, what do people this ego-blown joke? His head is so fucking large at this point. He actually thinks that he's "made it" in this world, and that he's universally loved. His douchebaggy head has actually grown so fucking large that he thinks that he can do anything and get away with it. He thinks that he could take a shit in the street and people would applaud and give him an award. Well, he was fucking wrong. And now he's humiliated! Yay!!!!!!!!! :)

26. HorribleJudgment - September 30, 2008 10:08 AM
And what's with his face? Geezus, he is one the ugliest living things that I have ever seen! That fat, repulsive, bulbous nose. Those disgusting sausage lips, with the spit cake on them. Those dead eyes, shaped like the horizontal eyes of a retard, gazing out at nothing. And that chin, dangling there like a horrific dick-shaped wafer at the bottom of his face. Uggghhhhhh! Hideous!
27. grobpilot - September 30, 2008 10:09 AM
Fish, you should hit him in the "vulva" instead. You can get more power out of a kick than a roundhouse.

As much as I hate the paragon of douchery, the funniest thing about this is he will still get paid because some group of people in Vegas thought this would be a good idea. So, we can figure that about 100million so far, has been pissed away on this.
And yet, I can't help but hear over and over, "Why is our nation in such an economic mess?"
30. Just warming up here Alex - September 30, 2008 10:28 AM

31. Gravy - September 30, 2008 10:28 AM
I think 'vulva' might have been more appropriate than 'uvula'.
32. Miss - September 30, 2008 10:32 AM
#4- That looks like that girl Gizelle he was dating a while back. In the 3rd season you can actually see in one of the episodes where he hits on her. Here is a link to an article about her if you wanna see what classy broads he's hanging out with: http://thevegaseye.com/home/2008/6/11/criss-angel-the-girl-he-loves-loves-girls-too.html
There was a report that she had a baby last year, and he actually dated her before and after the baby! Perhaps there is a little criss Angel running aroung somewhere. :O
Man, I am actually a fan ,but I have to admit there's some serious 'douchery' going on with him. And I'm really disappointed the show sucked. I was looking forward to going out there next year! Darn!

I do feel kinda sorry for him though. If I were in his shoes, I'd be really upset standing on the stage, seeing fans leave angry and demanding money back because they didn't enjoy a thing.

43. Dr Know - September 30, 2008 1:02 PM
He's like a zit. The more you pick at it the more it grows. Sure, you can release the pus, but then it gets infected, and soon it starts weeping, then before you know it you have a festering weeping sore that won't even respond to antibiotics, or in other words, Paris Hilton....
44. mamadough - September 30, 2008 1:03 PM
well, i was gonna comment on how superfish meant to say vagina instead of uvula, but someone beat me to it.
so, i'm surprised no one has said anything about the total lack of the 18 hot-topic necklaces he's always sporting. they might have been affecting the plate in his head. fuck criss angel, i got nothin.
45. SpacePenis - September 30, 2008 1:27 PM
Like the opinion of idiots who payed money to see this twat means anything to me.
See it's a catch 22. Douche if you do, douche if you don't.
46. Rant - September 30, 2008 1:29 PM
A "UVULA" is a part of the body. It is that thing that hangs from the back of the roof of your mouth. You know cartoon characters use it for a punching bag when they have been shrunken.
47. Thumperchica - September 30, 2008 4:10 PM
I used to love Criss... then I watched his show for an entire season, now, he's still fun to look at, but only with the sound off. I sure as hell wouldn't pay to see an overpriced live show...
48. not first! - September 30, 2008 4:29 PM

You better plan on punching him in the vulva because he's Gay.
50. private - September 30, 2008 6:04 PM
That's funny. There's an advertisement on this page for Chriss Angel's Vegas 'Vip' Weekend, $599.
ONLY $600 to see this douche? Bought!
51. E. Norma Stitz - September 30, 2008 7:28 PM
Nothing special about Chriss Angel. Just your average everyday douchebag.
52. Snarfy McSnarfpants - September 30, 2008 7:33 PM
Well I'm glad that someone put this up there, I was actually thinking of flying out to see his show.

The "chick" in ths pic is his bi-sexual SKANK and they are ALREADY OVER (thank god) (if they were EVER an item in the 1st place) - now he has moved on to Hef's LEFTOVERS - who just trade OLD RICH MEN FOR YOUNG RICH MEN - GET A JOB BITCHES!
Check out Perez Hilton's column where Criss' PUBLICIST stands up for him - HELLO ???? Isn't that what he is PAID TO DO???? Isn't that HIS JOB? Of course he will SPIN the reviews favorably!
And Perez Hilton? Lowest of the low (isn't he GAY??) So, no wonder HE would stand up for Criss ----- he probably would LOVE TO LAY DOWN for him too!
NO LIP SYNCHING CRISS ----- if you can't sing LIVE, TAKE THAT PART OUT!
That is just toooooo stupid.

FUCK YOU ALL YOUR JUST PISSED, BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN MAKE HALF OF WHAT HE MAKES. HE'S AWSOME GO BACK TO YOUR SAD PATHETIC MIDDLE CLASS OR LOWER CLASS LIVES, IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM GO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO, AND REMEMBER YOUR MIDDLE CLASS AND LOWER CLASS TWITS, IF I WERE ANY OF YOU I WOULD KILL MYSELF. FUCK YOU AND FUCK ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
59. look - October 10, 2008 7:20 PM
You guys are so wrong....this is one newspaper reporting on the first "preview" performance. You guys no nothing about putting a show together or how a Cirque show works. Why are you copying something that is obviously unfair. Just wait until the show officially opens and judge for yourself. You guys are so full of hate that you fail to understand the concept of Criss Angel Believe. It's not a traditional magic show and you failed to mention that Criss and his cast received standing ovations. Stop trying to destroy Criss and learn to love.
60. rizu - October 10, 2008 11:31 PM
yea its just a preview show.
thats why there are a lot of mess ups in it.
it even says that theyre will be when you buy the tickets online.
and if you hate him, then don't complain
because i doubt Criss Angel would ever read what you say
or even care about it.
he's knows there are people hate him and there are those who love him.
and face the truth
you can't make everyone like you,
there will always be people wanting to bring you down.
61. TWIT - October 12, 2008 10:28 PM
NO NOT DOUCHE-BAG, MORE LIKE AFTER BIRTH.
THE CIRQUE DU SOLAME SHOW WITH THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A PERFORMER BLOWED.
WHOEVER AT CIRQUE SUGGESTED THIS SHOW SHOULD BE FIRED - IF NOT ALREADY!
COULD THIS SPELL THE END OF CIRQUE DU SOLEIL?
62. watch your money disappear : - October 13, 2008 11:31 PM
Criss Angel "Believe" show was unbelievably bad! The only magic was watching your money disappear on the price of tickets. The show is all costumes, dancing, watching video, fancy props and worse than amateur effort at magic.
Would not recommend attending even if you had free tickets unless you really want to see for yourself just how really bad this show is. When he does speak to the audience he really comes across as a total moron.
Really really bad show. Can't "Believe" this show made it to opening. Someone should be fired. This one can't last.

You fools are wrong about criss angel. His believe show was really good. It did have some mistakes but that is why it was a pre-show. We took our son and he loved it. During the show Criss Angel came out to the audience and picked up our son, it made his year. We also got to meet Criss Angel after the show he was a really nice guy. Don't be jealous because he has what you wish you had.
65. Real Magic Fan - October 22, 2008 4:34 PM
Cost of the production… $85 Million
Criss’ Potential salary…. $100 Million
Seeing him exposed as the cheesy, no talent hack that he is…… PRICELESS!

I went to the show a few weeks ago during my 1st visit to Vegas. I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately it really did suck badly; people did leave during the performance. Big waste of the significant ticket price.
Cirque Du Soleil fans won't like it because there aren't significant acrobatic stunts or amazing feats of human strength and artistic agility; MindFreak fans won't like it because there aren't enough magic tricks/illusions.
The show's premise/story/plot is uninspired. The "script" is a pathetic.
CA's charisma (or lack thereof) doesn't work with this live show format. I actually do feel bad for the guy. He seemed to be apologizing for the show at the end!
What I remember most about the show was trying not to laugh at how truly bad the show was as I walked out past the kids selling the show's program books--poor kids.
70. Ronn Winter - November 13, 2008 1:40 PM
Well... I must say, Im so happy to hear he is getting bad reviews. Obviously, alot of adults went to see this show, and thats not his audience. The comments about his ego is his number one problem. He's all about himself and all his riches. He puts minimal effort into mindfreak which is why I stopped watching it after season 2. I hope these bad reviews humble him a little.

Wow....was it really that bad?? I'm just a humble Canadian, but at least I can say Thank God nobody as lame as Criss Angel came from us.......sorry guys, I feel for ya ; )
73. Ignacio - January 7, 2009 12:43 AM
Seriously, it sucks bad. I'm a magician, actually I consider myself an amateur on the business- I've seen many mistakes on Criss Angel TV Show but before judging him I decided to give him a chance and I went to see him perform live, first row, two tickets, as I went with my 65 years old mother.
I felt sorry for him, you could see everything. My old mother saw clearly how every illusion was made, she used to be amazed watching his TV show, now she said she wont lose her time watching that creep anymore.
Seriously, if you want to see a magic show in Vegas, don't go to see Criss Angel's Believe, it's on the same level to other low budget shows on the Strip like Dirk Arthur's which is not that good either.
To see a real magician, a great artist, you can see perform Lance Burton, that's what I call a great illusionist. He might not be a 'singer' nor have a bunch of dancers and smoking-put rabbits on stage, but I'm pretty sure he's better magician than Criss Angel and he's worth the money, not like MINDFREAK.
Whatever, I lost my 350$ when I went to see him, now I regret but it won give me my money back. If you still have the chance, pick another show. For example when I got out I thought "Damn, Should have gone to Fantasy". That's my call...
BELIEVE!!!! IT SUCKS BAD!

75. LV Local - March 29, 2009 2:46 AM
I am a local. I have seen several Cirque shows. I thought Chris was a real entertainer. Not now. I think he is a sell out if he continues to let this go on. If he will continue to take money for this show, what wont he do. If he doesnt step up to the plate... This show is the begining of a permanate disapearing act. Very disapointed. Sorry Chris, its true.
76. Karen - May 10, 2009 11:18 AM
This show SUCKED so bad. WE GET IT! You can make birds appear. At least our son thought it was a good "enough" rendition of Alice In Wonderland. He did nothing like he did on his tv shows. The only good part about this show is when we got to leave.
77. mike altringer - August 11, 2009 6:09 PM
By far the most overated show in Vegas. 30 minutes before he even came on stage. 5 lame stunts for the whole show. I think most people in the room agreed as there were almost no appluse after each trick. Went to Penn and Teller next night one thrid the price and 3 times better. I Believe I was cheated by paying $100 for the tickets..
