  • If I had mindfreak powers, I'd clone myself and take over the world. You'd all be dead by now. I wouldn't have to worry about money, curing disease, or none of that bullshit, not even grammar.

  • Criss is one of nicest people I met,and I met him no ones,Its really offend me how douche he is,you even know him..so that close your mouths

  • lol assholes, the first thing id do with superpowers is NOT saving babies.

    and neither would you!

    youd be in a fucking casino like everybody else.

  • If Criss had real magical powers......

    He could make that stupid lisp vanish!

  • @DLRisVH His lisp is one hot thing,and second he never called himself magician,he is an illusionist,know what that mean,he makes tricks,tricks for eyes,and third,he is sweet,sweet person

  • By the way, that other voice, Is teller

  • I hate how Angel talks to Penn like he's the "up and coming" one who just hit it big, when in fact it's the exact other way around. I have so many stories from my local magic shop and other shops that really tells me that Angel is the biggest sell-out douche bag in magic history.

  • @JAB63096 Criss is one adorable man,he is all,but he is even close to douchebag,I met him no ones,I know lot of people who met him,and I cant stand calling him douchebag,you judge him..and who are you? Criss is sweetest,or one of sweetest person ever

  • I like how mad people are getting because he's a magician and not Jesus.

  • Criss Angel is a piece of shit!

  • @orlo1000 criss is one sweet guy

  • @Zareste Are you referring to Penn Jillette? He is one of the greatest minds in magic history and an incredibly smart political figure. He and his partner Teller have had a number of different shows throughout the years through different forms of media. The most recent two being Penn and Teller: Fool Us and Penn and Teller: Bullshit.

  • "I do not believe anybody has the ability to do the supernatural" "Until i see some proof in front of me it's all bs" And he's a Christian... :S

  • @The8347135 he's a fucking magician of course it's not supernatural, he never claimed to be supernatural outside of his tricks.

  • @Nervousification I think he means that being religious and also saying that he has no belief in the supernatural, is a bit contradictory.

  • @The8347135 is he, or is just an illusion?

  • "And speaking of dark rage!"

    So funny rofl

  • Comment removed

  • keeping bitches in check: MANHOOD101. COM

  • Great interview

  • very funny, but that show sucked, reveals basically nothing , says nothing interested about other magicians other than the guy that cut his daughter up with a saw. do they sign a paper when they joina group of magicians that they cant reveal anything ever? come on... theres constantly new trick sbeing done

  • I love Penn, but have had a real dislike for Criss since I first saw his show. It does look like he's trying to fool people and the camera cuts look cheap. Still... if it works for him, that's his business I guess.

  • "Six of diamonds right?!?! I could be like, curing aids, but, Six of diamonds right?"

  • Maybe he's not a douche bag afterall.

  • the cuts are really annoying.... just when they start talking about something that could be mildly interesting it cuts to a next "scene"...

  • @topituulensuu Read the video description. You can listen to the entire thing in the link there.

  • @UTbone04 Now that the site is down, is there another way to hear archived full versions of Penn's show?

  • Chris angel is a lame douche, emo magician, acting like he has power... LOL... Fools are born every minute, its kind of pathetic how easily tricked people are...

  • @ASexyChef Did you actually listen to it? He specifically said he doesn't have powers, and people are dumb who think he does. I don't even like the guy, but at least listen before you comment.

  • @downtimelg Its how he does his act I do not like, its comon sense to know he has not special powers, and he may think people are stupid to think that, but the whole cut and edit aspects to his show, gives the impression of people thinking he is magical. Him kind of seeming like a tool while he does it when you are one who knows its only a trick. He goes for shock apeal, if some like him whatever, I see him as a tool with a big ego, who will not be around in 10 years.

  • does criss angel believe in god?

  • @axgo21 no did you notice the Atheist symbol beside him in the first picture? Self Proclaimed Atheist here.

  • @PSNDonutDude ok thank u!!!!

  • @axgo21 np

  • @PSNDonutDude whats that mean???

  • @axgo21 I learned this thing awhile ago. To sound more intelligent go use your vast resources such as the internet, to figure out what it means, come back knowing what it means and therefore sound like you knew it in the first place. This is a very important life lesson. Sounding smart is more important then being smart. Trust me it got me a job at a place where I shouldn't have...

  • @PSNDonutDude I guess its means no problem right? thank u for the lessons, is thruth sounding intelligent does give u the edge!! I been using the technique for quite a while, to get jobs is all about the person who interviews u, I got 30 sec to figure them out, after I done this, I say whatever they wanted to hear!! works like a charm!!!

  • @PSNDonutDude Atheists have a symbol? Do we have a greeting or something? 'Cause i think we should.

  • @YouFoolWarrenIsDead Yes we have a symbol, yet it is a shallow one. Since atheism is not an avid "religion", the symbol is debated, there are about ten different Atheist symbol. I really wish I could embrace atheism some more by some kind of greeting as you said. While atheists believe we are smarter than the Religious "freaks" I feel very passionately about converting people to atheism, and without any reason to except hating the idea of death, many people will not.

  • @PSNDonutDude I see. Yeah, someone should come up with a greeting sign. Maybe Dawkins should declare an official one.

  • @axgo21 yep, he's Greek Othodox, as are his parents.

  • chriss angel has gone up in my opinion

  • Remember, it's all marketing. The look, the editing...everything. He plays to people who want to be fooled. Sure, he's upfront with Penn...but not so much on his show. Again, marketing. Just think about how many millions of records that have been sold because somebody said Alice Cooper or Jimmy Page or Ozzy Osbourne or Marilyn Manson worshiped the Devil. Oh no! Jimmy Page lived in Aleister Crowley's castle boooooooooooooooooh! Now buy my damn record!

  • People give Chris Angel shit, but he's a damn good magician. He never actually claims to be supernatural in real life, it's just a schtick for his show.

  • Penn and Teller find a magician they can't get mad at. 2012 IS HAPPENING PEOPLES!! Or not. Probably not.

  • Penn is 129048815984375238743581735619­4683948458273958235 times the magician angel is

  • 129048815984375238743581735619­4683948458273958235 x 0 is still zero...

  • Two words....Derren Brown.

  • @jazz4 The best!!

  • Angel's show is stupid, but I don't hate him after this interview. He's just a dude trying to make cash.

  • @MOLRobocop Best comment here. All the shit he gets is ridiculous. He's actually more down to earth than I would've expected. He makes money by doing tricks and illusions on TV. Good for him. I'm not a fan of the show, but I don't mind the fact that he's gotten popular through it. There are worse things out there.

  • @MuikuliWander he is not just down to earth,but one of sweetest guy I ever met,and met him no ones,without cameras,on the street,

  • ur the douche spc1124!

  • i recently saw Penn & Teller at the rio and he takes a couple of shots at Criss Angel during the show. Its pretty funny.

  • cant wait to see him tonight on Monday Night Raw lol

  • whos that third guy talking?

  • teller??

  • criss angel is a stupid fraud

  • Fraud? He doesn't claim to have supernatural powers. He does magic tricks. How is that fraudulent?

  • He doesnt work with demons! Are you joking?!

  • the main thing to be grateful for is these beliefs keep you off the streets at night and out of the pool halls.praise allah (so to speak )

  • i seriously hope you are not serious, if you are i recommend you to seek help.

  • Chriss angels is quite good but I have a thing about street magic on tv; even if some tricks are true feast of dexterity , i just don't buy into it because of the possibility of video editing etc...

  • Yeah, good theory yours...

  • Criss Angel is a fraud...I never believed in anything he does...

  • No shit, the amazing thing is the way the trick the stupid ones. The point of a magician is to be a fraud.

  • I don't remember him ever claiming that he's psychic or has supernatural powers. Don't believe, question, question, question.

  • Quite the opposite in fact, he's ALWAYS been a champion of the rational, NEVER hid the fact that no supernatural assistance is used in his illusions. My FAVORITE moment on Mindfreak is when he scares the hell out of a group of people with a VERY convincing seance, using all the mystical talk in the world, then ends the show by looking at the camera and asking: "Do you believe in ghosts? ...I don't (wink)" BEAUTIFUL MOMENT

  • its magic effects..its not 'real" you know?how old are you 11?

  • Yes, I know it's magic effects, I just can't figure what effects are those, how the magic is done, I jus't can't imagine it. And no, i'm not 11, i'm 18.

  • Jow45metal, start small. Master some simple card tricks and learn to palm coins. Do the tricks for little kids and see how amazed they are. This might give you an idea of how someone with millions of dollars to use and years of training and experience can do tricks that a commoner like yourself can't figure out.

  • @Matzes dude I really think the only people that believe that Criss Angel has any kind of real powers are simpletons

  • criss is a monotone fag

  • Am I wrong ? Do these wankers deny the existence of UFOs?

  • I have seen lots of fake tricks, but this guy does real magic. No question. Real superpowers! He should be in "Heroes"

    as himself. Does anyone know if he can fly like superman - that would not surprise me, but it would be awesome just to confirm my suspicion.

  • Of course the tricks are illusions, you really would not be surprised if he could fly? Come on?

  • they say he was gonna be on heroes but apparently criss angels powers are so real and demonic that when they were trying to do the final edit of the scenes that he was in the film just went up in flames, because NO tv editing of any kind can ever be done to ANY footage that has criss angel in it

  • Wow!!!

    I hope no one got hurt by those flames, although, I expect he has healing powers as well. A.W.E.S.O.M.E******

  • vrebdab has it right. Magic isn't real. It is ILLUSION. Criss Angel isn't performing some kind of witchcraft..he's just playing with your heads and have his show edited in such a way to look real.

  • FUCKING FINALLY. I know people who have held up Criss Angel as being evidence of supernatural powers, and although I said everything along the lines of 'then why didn't he stop 9/11' they refuse to disbelieve. Now I can just bloody show them this vid.

  • they should let teller talk more. teller is awsome and doesn't get enough.

  • I think Teller should have a radio program. That would be interesting.

  • magic can't exist because if it did it be science.

  • it does exist. it is our lack of understanding.

  • I dont like criss angel, if you cant do it infront of a live audience... its just bullshit.

  • ..he does do it in front of people. its all bullshit duh.

  • I didnt know he did any live shows. Ive only seen his tv show.

  • which is the main reason penn and teller are so good.

  • I <3 Penn & Teller & everything they say!

  • @psychdlictrip Even if they told you to eat shit?

  • @psychdlictrip Don't you mean everything Penn says?

  • @psychdlictrip

    WHAT THE ---

    if you did, you wouldn't say that -_-

  • All magic is an illusion. They just practice and are really good at it.

  • Uri Geller is a good example of a magician who pretends to have powers

  • Too bad the clip from the interview wasn't being played. Very insightful nonetheless.

  • Omg1 Iz taht Jezus!?!1

  • I've been mind cunted...

  • (isthereanythingleftx said: "but when you sell yourself on the show as being some God like person who poses for the shots with the flames and the crosses hanging from your neck you are encouraging idiots to believe that you do have powers")

    It's called "Entertainment"

  • i cant believe penn is supporting this fraud douchbag...no im not refering to his lack of super powers.....im referring to the fact that his fucking audience is nothing but terrible actors

  • Yea toolkills, Penn is awesome compared to this douche...Criss Angel doesn't fool anyone in real life...he is surrounded by actors

  • @spc1124 And camera tricks. i agree wit u

  • @spc1124 He is one sweet guy,whio are you you judge him,I met him lot of times,and I never met sweetest guy,

  • I thought Penn and Teller hated Criss? At least they make it seem like that it on BullShit.

  • I don't watch Bullshit too much but I wouldn't take too much of what you see on there seriously. They are in character on there and probably pretending to be jealous of Angel. Penn and Teller have made cameos on Mindfreak several times. They are good friends of Criss.

  • That's all well and good Chris Angel but when you sell yourself on the show as being some God like person who poses for the shots with the flames and the crosses hanging from your neck you are encouraging idiots to believe that you do have powers. You have completely contradicted yourself in this vid. Your show is not 'Chris Angel - awesome illusionist' it's 'Chris Angel - Jesus complex and leather.' Penn can say these things because he let's the audience know up front where he is coming from.

  • It's part of the act, there, smart guy.

  • You take whatever you want from it and draw your own conclusions. That's just his look and who he is. If you don't like it, don't look or listen to him. It's that simple. I'm not saying I like him or hate him. I just support his right to be whatever the hell he wants to be.

  • Criss Angel lets people know where he's coming from all the time, this interview is an example of this. If he actually wanted people think he had supernatural powers, he wouldn't be saying the opposite in interviews and such. He's playing a character in his show, that's obvious. He says it as it is if he's being talked to in a real-life context.

  • Listen to the e-mails that were read out in this interview. If they watch his stuff there is only one view put forward.

  • i have never seen or heard criss say he had powers

    not even on his show

  • I can't believe the shit he's saying. He's talking about people taking advantage of the gullible... that's exactly what the hell he is doing. 90% of his shit is trick photography and he tries to pass it off as "magic" because he knows there are gullible people out there that he can get rich off of. I can't believe Penn acts like there's no problem with it... because of all people he's definitely smart enough to see through the bullshit.

  • They're performers. People are willing to pay to see their performances. I don't see what the problem is.

    They say outright that they're not out to trick people into thinking that they have powers or anything. If people do, that's their own problem.

    The Pope on the other hand is FAR worse. He actually perpetuates the idea that he's somehow divine and encourages or even demands that people pay him because of it. Now that's evil.

  • When people say shit like what you just said, it lets me know they have absolutely no respect for the art of magic. There are real magicians who spend hours practicing difficult sleight of hand so they can show you magic in front of your face, WITHOUT camera tricks. That's REAL magic. Almost everything Criss does is done in front of actors and using trick photography. It's a slap in the face to people like Lance Burton, Jeff McBride, Bill Malone, and also to Penn and Teller.

  • "Real" magic involves supernatural occurrences and doesn't exist. Skillful slight of hand and tricks are indeed impressive and worthy of audience but they're still entertainment. Action movies almost always use camera tricks for illusion and entertainment, are you pissed at them too? As long as the performer is straight forward about his methods, again, what's the problem? I don't particularly like Criss Angel either, but he's free to provide entertainment to people willing to pay for it, right?

  • I can tell the difference, I just don't care. If it's all smoke and mirrors and illusions anyway, why not utilize additional tools to make those illusions safer, more convincing, easier, cheaper, etc? If you don't like performers who use such shortcuts, then don't pay to see them. It should end there, but no, you feel the need to announce to youtube that you're outraged over a breach in your own personal definition of 'real magic'. Get over yourself, dumbass.

  • You realize penn is on his show, and he is a magician himself, right?

  • What the fuck does that have to do with anything? But yes I did know that... I can't imagine how anything I said could have possibly made you doubt that. You can explain if you like.

  • Thanks for posting this! My children are schooled by me and my hero, Mr. James Randi. They LOVE Criss Angel (they are girls, I think part of the love is that he is HOT, but he's an awesome performer too), but I always explain to appreciate the MAGIC and ILLUSION, not assume he has some power from God (or Satan, whatever). But it is still ok to be impressed because I don't know many who could even make it appear real.

  • I don't mean literally schooled by Mr. Randi, just that I have followed him for years and learned alot that I am passing down to my kids. Although I did get to meet him and eat lunch with him. It was an honor.

  • Thank GOD!

    im so sick of watching criss angel videos,

    and finding that all the comments are arguing about,"Maybee He Truely Has Powers"

    and "WOW hes a god!"

    And when i try to tell them, they just go spaz.

    so now i can Give them this interview!

  • I didn't like the guy till I heard this interview. The fact he's upfront about his shit just gave me more respect for the guy.

  • same here i actually kinda like him now, he seems really cool once you see how he really is beyond the show

  • For sure, I felt the same way, but as long as he admits that his "powers" are just a prop, then it's all good. Definatly, respect for Angel.

  • LOL. I was gonna type something here and I accidentally clicked on the "Audio Preview" button but I hadn't written anything yet. So the sound that came out was "No". Try it.

  • wow, what a silly argument... it doesn't really matter whether or not he's an atheist, or a devout christian, or even a pastafarian. i'm agnostic... i don't find it silly to believe in a higher power, but i do find it silly to think we can begin to comprehend even the slightest thing about god...

  • Criss angel Is just an image, its that simple, He does good tricks and such, but the only reason the people like him is for his image..

  • These guys are so funny I love their sense of humor. I know it's all tricks, but I love watching. Criss is very good at what he does.

  • twins

  • Folks, Chris Angel does not suck, he doesn't use "just" trick photography. And no, there is no such thing as "real" magic. Of course he's an atheist like all good magicians because they know how all the supposed supernatural tricks are performed. His act is just an act. he is happy to state such in his book, that all magic done by all magicians, illusioists, mentalists, "psychics" etc is just tricks, cold readings, and slieght of hand. It's hilarious when people say "5% of magic is real"

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe you need to get over it honey :)

    Atheist or not the man is in show business, and people in show business, especially magicians lie to get more people to watch them.

  • Interesting that Angel says he does not believe in anything supernatural. He knows he is a magician and a damn good one. Magicians are also frequently the most atheistic -- James Randy, Penn and Teller, etc. They know that the rubes can be fooled, and they know that religion is a fool's paradise.

  • I gained some respect for him when he said that, but he does wear a cross chain... who knows.

  • Yes, why does he wear that cross? Strange. I'm surprised that Jilette did not ask him about that. Perhaps he simply likes to wear provocative symbols, like Jim Morrison used to do. Not sure. I would be surprised if he believed in any form of religion. Even Houdini railed against the "medium" and certainly came to an atheistic point of view. AT least I think he did, but I'm not totally up on houdini.

  • I have heard him say that he does have a belief in God, now whether or not that is the Christian God or not.. But, even if that is true, he has said there is NO supernatural power to his illusions. I'm glad he revealed the trick with the twins. That had me fooled when I saw it!

  • Maybe for irony sake?

  • wow. if you think he's atheist. just... wow. dude, he's christian, i've heard him say it.

  • when he said that "I don't have powers but

    yet people think i do and that im the devil"

    that tottaly reveals the trick behind the

    scene.Great video!

  • even though criss angel is fake, he can still be entertaining.

  • fake? as opposed to real magic?

  • he isn't fake... it's not fake just because it's a trick. It's still a real illusion!

  • no, an illusion is what you call "real magic", he just uses editing and computer tricks

  • no he doesnt

  • criss angel is using great illusion tricks, Thou i dont really like him...

    Penn and teller kicks ass :)

  • too bad teller cant interview anybody

  • he's not a mute

  • i know he can talk but if he did it would wreck his no talking buisness rep

  • look up teller in egypt, it is the first video.

  • haha! he just chooses to be lol :)

  • i wouldlike him to come to where i say and levitate .......lol........ he cant and he will run for his life.........

  • i dont understand criss angel 1 sec he says he is an illusionist and then he says some things are real......

    stupid stuff real.........lol

    well he is an artist and when he is lifting a car or whatever it is an illusion and he knows it.....its trick photography.....lol..but i tried hard to pull it off lol...but bottom line is it is trick photography whether you do 5 percent real and 95 % trick photography at the end of it is all an illusion so how can he say it is real .lol he is a joker....

  • That's kinda the point. He leaves the idea in your head that it may be actual magic. Even if, rationally, you know it to be an illusion. He only needs that little bit of doubt to fool you for an instant with an amazing trick that you can't quite figuere out how he pulled it off. That's "magic".

  • The STUNTS are real, not the illusions.

  • i worship my digestive system. i give it offerings of food. it makes me feel good. its a spiteful god though. i was on the toilet for like 20 minutes today.

  • wow I now respect him

  • logically thinking, anyone who believes Criss (or anyone else) has demonic supernatural powers and denies it - they will believe he just lies, so although its nice interview, it can't fill its purpose here :D

  • and BTW, they take the 7 of diamonds!

    Haha! XDXD

  • I'm glad I finally have Chris stating all of this for himself. It's all obviously part of his act to allow you to suspend your disbelief a little more. Have to show this to some of my more simple friends. But I guess that would hurt the magic, huh? Good stuff.

  • penn hates criss! coz he can see through all crisses shit

  • they are friends there not enimes idiot

  • that was good as!

  • these guys rock ! I used to be a sucker and I understand what its like to be vulnerable and then used by the pschics, chris angels right theyre the scum of the earth !

  • people are retarded... haaahahahaha 'you have powers!"
