Providing a refreshing twist on the conventions of reality TV, CRISS
ANGEL MINDFREAK is an A&E show full of jaw-dropping surprises.
Cameras follow Angel as he trains and then executes a series of amazing
tricks, most of which leave bystanders and viewers at home scratching
their heads in bemused wonder. Whether balancing precariously at the top
of a skyscraper or being struck by lightning, Criss seems to defy human
logic--and he makes it clear that no camera trickery is involved in
these feats. In the 16 episodes contained on this collection Criss
demonstrates how the body and the mind are a lot more flexible than we
might think, and provides some highly entertaining moments that easily
achieve his goal of dragging magic out of the Dark Ages and into the
21st century.
