Thousands attended the Las Vegas Premier Motorcycle Auction hosted at the Rio All-Suite & Casino on January 12th-14th. Criss Angel took to the podium to oversee the auctioning of his 2007 BeLIEve/MINDFREAK custom chopper in person. The winning bid for the chopper came in at an astounding $19,040 - the gross proceeds, including auction commissions, were donated directly to the BELIEVE charitable foundation.

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. “BELIEVE gives 100% of the money we raise back to the children, so this auction will help us do a lot of good things for the kids," said Criss excitedly after the winning bid amount was announced.
