Star World is all set to astound its viewer
in the form of two special Star World events: Criss
Angel Mindfreak on 18 June at 9.00 p.m. and Criss Angel
Supernatural on 25 June at 9.00 p.m.
Post-modern illusionist Criss Angel, receiver
of the magician of the year award by the International
Magicians Society in 2004 and earlier in 2001, is the
first and the only two-time winner of the prestigious
honour, says an official release.
An unprecedented mix of performance artist,
illusionist and musician, Criss Angel's groundbreaking
work has led MTV to dub him as a post-modern Houdini,
the United States magician (born in Hungary) famous
for his ability to escape from chains or handcuffs or
straitjackets of padlocked containers (1874-1926). While
horror/fantasy master Clive Barker, praises him as post-apocalyptic
chic.
Criss Angel Mindfreak is a compelling combination of
stage, street and stunts. The special, features Angel's
recent high-profile media events (Body Suspension and
Submerged); boasts highlights from his critically acclaimed
Times Square stage show Mindfreak; and his astonishing,
in-your-face street illusions. The feature is a homage
to Angel's inspiration, Harry Houdini, and an introduction
to a spiritual protégé who has vowed to
continue where Houdini left off, says the release.
On the other hand, Criss Angel Supernatural finds the
provocateur creating extraordinary, all-new feats before
live audiences who watch as he effortlessly walks up
the side of a building, passes a quarter through his
skin and, most amazingly, spontaneously combusts - staying
engulfed in flames for one full minute. The exclusive
has been filmed in New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas
and at Universal Theme Park in Orlando, Florida.
The viewers at home can also participate in an unprecedented
experiment, in which they will be able to feel Criss'
hand right through the TV screen.
