So there I was on the Las Vegas Strip with an urge to see some magic because… well, I’m in Las Vegas. This is where the best magicians in the world perform, and I choose Criss Angel at the Luxor for two reasons. First, Criss Angel Believe is a Cirque du Soleil show, and I’ve never gone wrong with seeing a Cirque du Soleil show ever! The second reason was I wanted to know if Criss Angel lived up to his hype. Full disclosure, I was haven’t seen too many of Criss Angel’s MindFreak shows. I’m a simple guy that enjoys magic, and I was excited to find out what Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil can create together.
For fans of Criss Angel’s MindFreak, the lobby alone will get you fueled up for the show. There are so many props and costumes that decorate the halls from the TV show. I particularly like the hall full of Criss Angel’s motorcycles. What’s even more engrossing are the whispers you can hear when you go down the motorcycle hall. It’s a hall full of some of Criss Angel’s most famous bikes, and someone or something is asking you to “Believe…” This definitely gets you into the mood of the show. I arrived to the Luxor pretty early, so I was able to take photos of some of the magic props like the cage Angel used for a Grand Canyon Death Jump illusion in MindFreak, along with other magic contraptions decorating the space. If you’re coming with a fan, I definitely suggest getting there early and checking out all his set pieces.
