I've seen a few episodes. The guy is cute so that got my interest. :P He does some pretty freaky things, but magician shows don't usually interest me.

His show is interesting. Some stunts are cool, whilst others are just silly.

I really enjoyed and appreciated illusionists and magicians before they tried to 'Las Vegas' us with 'mega-tricks' that have made me yawn and think, "So what"?

Nobody was better than David Blaine when he randomly selected people and performed amazing things like levitation, biting quarters in half and so on. When he started hanging for several weeks in a plexiglass box in London all I could do is shake my head in awe of his bladder control.

David Copperfield started out interesting then got just plain annoying. His latest tricks are performed with lots of scantily clad young ladies running, jumping and dancing while David maximizes his close-ups (I didn't realize Joan Crawford left him her eyebrows when she died). Too bad for David who wants to look like Celine Dion, not Joan.

I understand that, for his latest tricks where he made a 747 and the Statue of Liberty disappear, the people who were to 'witness' the event were really let in on how it was done (mirrors); David gave them all their 15 minutes of fame.

Now to the Mind-Freak. The name alone gives you a clue. He calls himself a freak which seems valid. This guy is very talented but hasn't seen a bar of soap in ages. Only Saudi Arabia has more oil than his hair. His jeans could ambulate by themselves if they ever saw a washing machine. The guy is so slovenly it takes away a lot of the impact of his illusions and tricks.

He's got to make lots of money with his own show and appearances, so why look like you're homeless?

I do not want to be the one to break it to you all, but Chris Angel is a fake illisionist. For example, in one scene, Chris Angel is doing a trick a one frame a girl has glasses on her head and in the next frame they are gone. I mean the show is okay, but it is fake.

That's what an illusionist is - they trick your mind into seeing something else. It's not real "magic".
