  • Chris Angel

    Hey, wanted to ask, if the show of Chris Angel is worth seeing? Any experiences?

    Thanks in advance!

    Haven't seen it myself...but others who have come before you were met with resounding NO's. I have yet to hear anyone say his show is anything but absolute garbage. For the money, I could recommend plenty of other shows that I personally know are legit.
    Like all great travelers, I've seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

      Ditto.

      My emo cousin who was a CA fanboy said it was absolute trash.
      Things escalated quickly...

          I wouldnt waste the time or the money. This dude thinks the Luxor hired him as a comedian. He was cracking jokes and then getting pissed off at the crowd because no one was laughing.


          Also, we had front row seats and you can clearly tell some of the stunts aren't real. Like when he "saws" someone in half.....Totally fake

          Oh..... and I think he has a body double.... From being up close you can see a difference from time to time when he comes back out after a dissapearing act.

          He should have stuck to his show on A&E.... At least that looked somewhat beleivable.

            That sounds horrible!

              I got suckered into seeing this so I could meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. It was AWFUL. You could definitely see how most of the tricks were done. I've seen a bunch of some in Vegas and this was BY FAR the worst. It was honestly a waste of money. The only good thing about it was the cirque du soleil clowns before the show started. See any show other than this one. I've seen Ka (loved), Mystere, La Reve, O, Jersey Boys (excellent), Blue Man Group, Jabbawockies, Absinthe (favorite), Zumanity (better for couple, imo) & Peepshow (I love holly) & they are all better than Criss Angel. Even the celeb impersonators show I saw at IP during my very first trip (poor college student trip) 6 years ago was more fun. The only other show I say do not see is Bite.

                Thx a lot for all your recommendations! The Chris Angel show sounds really terrible - didn't expect that. So this show I'm definitely not going to see

                Absinthe seems to get great reviews - haven't heard from it before. I'll take a look on it

                    I saw the Chris Angel show in Vegas last March. I have to say it isnt really worth it. He doesn't do anything that you haven't seen on TV and you can see how he does some of the tricks when in person. I use to be a fan of his "illusions" until I saw him live and was able to see how he does some of them. He saves his bigger "illusions" for TV. Save your money and go see something better

                      Funny shit.....I was at Carrot Top on Sunday night and CT said something about Criss Angel's show, and I blurted out that it was garbage....next thing I know I get some dude 2 over from me asking what I just said, It was fucking Criss Angel. Oops!

                      Yeah, I felt like an asshole, but his show still sucks.

If you are neither, then sit back, let the rich and/or good looking people sort their shit out, and then take their scraps. Booking early is not going to get you ahead of the rich and/or good looking people. Sucks unless you are rich or good looking. But that's what makes Vegas so great. It is completely transparent."

                            Can we ban this guy already? He clearly just stole that from here: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserR...as_Nevada.html

                            (unless that's actually him, which I doubt)
