Criss Angel

[Mars-Chan]

DUDE...

Someone on ABAHB posted something about Criss Angel and I had seen him do magic before, but I never knew he liked "The Crow"!

www.CrissAngel.com
(Check out the photos...they are so good!)

Anyone else heard of him?

[Nosferatu]

I've heard of him. I saw some show of his on TV once. He's pretty cool.

Criss Angel is such a cool name.

[Mars-Chan]

:nod: Most definately.

Did you see his TV special called Mindfreak? Creepy creepy stuff....

And to think I would be the only one to post on this topic.... :lol:

[Nosferatu]

Mindfreak is what I saw. Very cool show. If I had the chance, I would definately see him live.

If I was an entertainer, I would be like Criss Angel. He looks cool, acts cool, and is just plain cool. :wink:

[Mars-Chan]

Didn't he do an act called "Scarecrow"?

If I was an entertainer, I would be like Criss Angel. He looks cool, acts cool, and is just plain cool. :wink:
And how! I think he may just beat out my love for magic with Lance Burton! :evilgrin: :D

Sorry to bump up a slightly old topic, but I thought I'd cast in my knowledge of Criss. Heard about him because he was affiliated with one of my favorite industrialists Klay Scott in an electronic project called "Angeldust (which I have never heard yet). I watched his Halloween special (hoping maybe Klay would make an appearance, but sadly he did not :( ). What a freaky show Criss put on....man that guy is something else when it comes to his tricks. :o I ALMOST put my finger to the screen when he told me to...

[Mars-Chan]

:o I ALMOST put my finger to the screen when he told me to...
What? You didn't? :lol:

[The Stryker]

Hulk.....kill.....D-class celebrities!!!!!

*smacks criss angel to the ground and smashes him with two fists*

......now....David Blane shall feel my wrath!!!!

*runs, jumps, lands, jumps, lands, Jumps again and launches into the air*

[Nosferatu]

Criss Angel is cooler than most "A class" entertainers, I think.

Go ahead and smash David Blaine, though. I don't really think he's all that cool anymore.

[damnhooligan]

I caught some Criss Angel special on Sky One the other day, I think. Magic and whatnot isn't really my bag, but it looks like he's got a solid gimmick that's working for him.

[Mars-Chan]

Since a lot of us here, not mentioning any names....*cough* Stryker,...*cough*....like him so much, what do you think of his streetwork that he does?

[raphael90]

Not sure what to think of it...pretty crazy stuff. Unless he somehow manages to stage all that, he's got some pretty good tricks up his sleeve. I'm almost at a loss for words how he manages to make turantulas and stuff appear in the people's cups and pockets. Also, he sure is riding the fine line with death in those 'light his body on fire' tricks. :o

[Mars-Chan]

Oh...yeah!! Did you see it when the flames almost burned his face?! :o
Dude.... :o

[raphael90]

That fire part is a bit fuzzy in my mind now, but I think he came pretty close to biting the bullet that first time didn't he? :o Thankfully he managed to pull the second one off flawlessly if I remember correctly.

[Mars-Chan]

mmm-hmmm... :nod:
I remember you mentioning him putting tarantulas and whatnot in people's pockets....well...as long as he doesn't get near me with ANY kind of snake, I'm fine. :D

[The Stryker]

*turns top hat inside out and back again*

ok...what happened ...*pulls rabbit out of hat* to the traditional magic?!

now its all crazy ass stupid stunts and not slight of the hand tricks

plus anybody got a freezer big enough to hold johnny depp,David blane and that unfunny guy from full house's bodies?

me and my brother got some plans...right bubba?

*chainsaw revving in distance*

[raphael90]

well...as long as he doesn't get near me with ANY kind of snake, I'm fine.

*shudders*

Cannot stand spiders! I would almost prefer the snake over the tarantula anyday! Ick, ick, ick...Criss can do the card trick or something on me, but no spiders!!! Please...
:lol:

[Brodie]

I don't understand why guys like him think they should use the 'Goth'-Gimmick, just so the magic looks cool. Even though David Blaine is the leader of a cult (South Park) he's still better than Criss Angel.

[raphael90]

I like the goth look personally...not all that it may underline or stand for, but I think Criss Angel and Klay Scott have cool looks. :D

[Mars-Chan]

:nod: I totally agree on that.

Not that I dress in all black, mind you....(well...ok...I do SOMETIMES...) but the two have great looks.

Think about this for a second: Brandon Lee made the Crow look famous...yet when Criss Angel does it...it looks so much better. Which version is better? Criss or Brandon? *ponders for a long time* I got nothing. :tlol:

[The Stryker]

how bout...all crow related crap sucks? yeah thats good

[raphael90]

how bout...all crow related crap sucks? yeah thats good

Ouch...Mars isn't going to like that... :goofygri:

As for the question of goth looks, the Crow looks way scarier IMO...Criss isn't as freaky looking...even Klay Scott (Circle of Dust, Celldweller)
is freakier looking. Still Criss has a good look going for him.

[Mars-Chan]

Ouch...Mars isn't going to like that... :goofygri:
YOU BET I WON'T!!! But I won't do anything about it.

These pics prove that he ADORES The Crow:

(Of course I got them off the website)

Can we say "Mother is the name of God on the lips and hearts of all children...Morphine is bad for you..."?

[Nosferatu]

Whoa. He looks pretty freakin' cool with the Crow paint. Seems to be slightly modified from the basic design.

Wish I looked that cool with the Crow make-up on. :(

how bout...all crow related crap sucks? yeah thats good

:evil:

[Mars-Chan]

I know.

I don't look that good with the Crow look....believe me. I've tried it and I failed it.... :tlol:

[The Stryker]

All Crow-Related crap is Equally Inferior to MORBO!!!

[Mars-Chan]

MORBO knows NOTHING of The Crow! :evilgrin: :lol: :D

[The Stryker]

Morbo Knows and HATES the crow!!!

....Brandon Lee gives Morbo gas....

[Mars-Chan]

*groans and shakes her head* Mars has no time for this. Mars needs to go look at more pictures of Criss. :goofygri: :D

(Yes...I felt like referring to myself in the third person...so.... :P)

[impetus]

Basically what raph90 said. I'm also a huge fan of Klayton and mainly am familiar with CA only as far as his relation with Klay. I really nedd to buy those CD's...

[Mars-Chan]

What CD's are you talking about?

[impetus]

Klayton's Criss Angel CD's (aka the Angeldust releases)

[raphael90]

Trouble is there's another band called Angeldust...I don't know how widely distributed the Criss Angel/Klay Scott Angeldust cd was. If it was distributed as poorly as "Disengage" was, it may not have seen the light of day in many stores. I've seen it once on Ebay and I think it was getting alot of bids...

I want to get Klay's new Celldweller project, but alas he's basically gone the way of Trent Reznor.

[impetus]

Raph90 you should be able to find celldweller at Best Buy, I know the west store carries it.

[Mars-Chan]

I want to get Klay's new Celldweller project, but alas he's basically gone the way of Trent Reznor.
:teek: He has?! Dare I wonder...?

[raphael90]

Yeah, I've seen the Celldweller cd at the West Best Buy before...just haven't brought myself to get it. I guess its hypocritical since I'll
listen to NIN Pretty Hate but not Celldweller...

Klay has gotten pretty angry in his lyrical approach and the
new stuff is pretty vulgar from what I hear. However, unlike NIN,
the Celldweller sound is more electronic/dance/industrial
whatnot. I do want to hear it sometime....heard one track
and it was okay, but I miss the old industrial COD sound.

Wow, we got off the Criss Angel topic eh? :goofygri:

[impetus]

the celldweller track "switchback" can now be heard on the official Spider-Man trailer.

It's the short industrial bit that plays while Spidey is diving through the truck.

Let's hope Klayton is in the next movie instead of Macy Gray :roll:

[Mars-Chan]

You think that's bad? She's in the new Crow movie as well! :o


Anyways, anyone been to his website recently? I've...ah..kinda slacked off.... :tanime:

[impetus]

the only movie role Macy Gray should ever get is Donald Duck
