Criss Angel may be able to cast a spell over Britney Spears and Holly Madison but over a live audience…..no.
The reviews are in from his new 100 million dollar Vegas show, said to be running until 2028, and it sounds like he has as much presence as Perez Hilton on camera. The scathing reviews from the LA Times, and the fact that fans walked out have turned Criss Angel into a laughing joke overnight.
He already was?
None of this would matter as much if Angel had a compelling live-stage presence. But “Believe” exposes him as a natural-born showman, which isn’t the same as a natural-born entertainer. He lacks comic timing and ad-libbing ability, falling flat with some very lame erectile dysfunction jokes. His personality simply disappears for long stretches of the show.
Some of his biggest applause of the night came for executing the simplest of tricks, like producing a bird out of hand. That’s a decent evening’s work for a backyard bar mitzvah or quinceanera magician, but it doesn’t quite justify a $100 ticket.-LA Times
