Fans of Criss’ hit A&E TV Series, “Mindfreak” will know his love of exotic motorcycles and may even recognize them from the his many death-defying stunts and illusions.
From the age of six, Criss Angel has immersed himself in a multitude of art forms, from performance artist and musician to mystfier and provocateur. Considered to be the # 1 magician in the world, Criss Angel's visionary approach to the art escapes the confines of tradition and gives birth to a new breed of modern mysticism. Oprah Winfrey hailed, “Criss is the best, the best, the best”. From his role as star, creator, executive producer and director of his hugely successful A&E television series “Criss Angel MINDFREAK”, his spectacular live show "Criss Angel BeLIEve” at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, live star of and creator of countless television specials, books, music CD’s and more - Criss has redefined the term "Artist" for the 21st Century.
Criss Angel's unrivaled brand of mystery on the stage, street and in his public demonstrations blur the line between reality and illusion in a mesmerizing display of the supernatural. Criss has performed in more hours of primetime television than any other magician in history. With now over one hundred episodes, "Criss Angel MINDFREAK" recently aired its record-breaking 6th season to the great anticipation and delight of millions of devoted weekly viewers in the U.S. and more than 90 countries worldwide. He is the most watched Magician in web history and a YouTube sensation with over 40 million views of his "Walk on Water" clip alone. Collectively he has over 150 million views on YouTube.
Simultaneously, Criss has also partnered with Cirque Du Soleil and MGM Resorts International to serve as writer/director, illusion designer and star of his spectacular live show "Criss Angel BeLIEve." More of an event than a show, BeLIEve is performed live 8 to 10 times a week and will continue its 10 year run at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and has been the best- selling live magic show in the world since it opened. The Toronto Star raved "The show is easily the most exciting thing now on stage in Vegas!" The BBC touted "BeLIEve is A+, by far the most spectacular and amazing magic show in Vegas and I've seen them all", and Newsweek raves, "Criss Angel BeLIEve is a GREAT SHOW!"
In 2011 Criss' brand power continued to evolve when he was chosen to co-create and appear in a new commercial campaign for Orville Redenbacher's Pop Up Bowl. His casting proved to be a huge coup for the brand as the commercial has proved the best-recalled new spot in May, according to the latest research from Nielsen, beating out mainstream brands such as Ford, Volkswagen, Kraft and McDonalds just to name a few.

Criss Angel believes in children. Helping kids is a driving factor in his desire to create magic. His continuing work children-based charities including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, brings joy, hope and makes dreams a reality for children in need or battling terminal illness.
In December 2010, Criss visited the Las Vegas Boys & Girls Club to hand-deliver magic tricks & kits. "I’ve been blessed beyond my wildest dreams. My mission in life is to try to be a positive force and help others any way I can," stated Criss to reporters that day. More than $1 million in gifts were distributed to thousands of locations across the U.S. – all in time for Christmas.
Karen Iglesias, President & CEO, of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Nevada wrote expressing her gratitude, "He has taken our children by the hand and surrounded them with love and care...what Criss gives of himself each time he meets a wish child is the most special gift of all. Criss is our Angel." Read more (Link to full letter from MAW)
Criss was so moved by the children’s lives he touched, he was inspired to create a special foundation with a message - Believe Anything Is Possible.
BELIEVE Charitable Foundation
"We help children find their inner strength of mind, body, and spirit
to attain their dreams and achieve all that is possible"
BELIEVE was founded by Criss Angel and his brothers J.D. and Costa in 2007, as a tribute to the incredible strength, inspiration and life of their father, John Sarantakos, who passed away February 12, 1998. Also, in recognition of the love and affection the entire family has for children, especially those suffering from debilitating illnesses and diseases.
As an “operating” 501(c)3 charitable foundation, BELIEVE will be actively involved with the very children the Foundation is seeking to aid and assist. Since Criss Angel personally subsidizes any overhead expense, 100% of your donation goes to providing charitable outreach and opportunities to children who, because of illness, disease, or socio-economic barriers, find themselves unable to achieve their full and ultimate potential in life. BELIEVE seek to harness and promote that virtually untapped inner potential, the inner strength of mind, body, and spirit, to let these children see their dreams become a living reality.
"Spreading Magic. Changing Lives.”
"The BELIEVE Foundation provides financial help to kids who are underprivileged or terminally ill. Love can’t be bought; love is to be given. It is the gift with the power to transform lives forever. Together we can make a difference in a child’s life. Will you help make a difference and believe in the power of a dream?"
“Through all of the things I’ve been through, magic gave me hope for another day. I can still remember waking up, my mom at my side and looking at the T.V. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There you were being lit on fire, walking through the streets while all the people stared. After that moment, magic became my life! Words are unable to express my thanks, you’ve inspired me so much.”
“For all the GOOD you’ve done for these kids and their families – may it all come back to you a thousand fold in love laughter and the joy of a life lived well."
