Through the years, Criss has worked tirelessly to create iconic demonstrations
that will forever touch viewers around the world.
“MINDFREAK” on A&E is the most successful magic show in television
history, resulting in more hours of magic during prime time than any other
show! It was viewed regularly by over 100 million people per season in 90
countries. During its 6 seasons and over 100 episodes, Criss created and
performed over 1,000 mind-blowing demonstrations that still amaze and
astound viewers.
Prior to “MINDFREAK”, Criss created, produced, directed and starred in 3
specials: MINDFREAK, a one-hour ABC Family Channel special in 2002,
SUPERNATURAL, a one-hour SyFy Channel special in 2003, and
Made In Japan, a two-hour special on TBS in 2003.
Criss anticipates his future television project as he has been tirelessly creating
and developing new, bigger, badder, more insane demonstrations that he
confident will be his best work to date.
Criss has received numerous awards, including "Magician Of The Year" six
times - more than any other magician in history. He has received the
prestigious “Magician Of The Decade” and “Magician Of the Century”
awards.
Criss credits his success to the millions of LOYALS worldwide, as well as, the
over 5 million daily followers who connect with his message, “Anything is truly
possible when you believe in the power of the mind, body and human spirit.”

Chapter 1 - Facing one of our biggest fears, Criss attempts to be burned alive. With the assistance of Hollywood special FX wizard and "burn master" Mark Chadwick, Criss sets up a spectacular stunt where he is set ablaze two different times. First a partial body burn test by the Aladdin Hotel pool in Las Vegas, that lasts over 20 seconds. Then a full 46 sec. body burn with no hands or face protection that shoots 20 ft. flames off Criss at temperatures above 1500 degrees in front of a huge crowd on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas.
