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.
