CRISS ANGEL MINDFREAK: THE BEST OF SEASONS 1 & 2 allows fans to easily access the most heart-stopping episodes, capturing the creative genius at work as he performs surreal trickery that defies explanation. In the “Bike Jump Vanish” episode, Angel trains with motorcycle aerialist and world record jump holder Trigger Gunn, then attempts a 60ft long, 20ft high jump at 50mph, while extreme motorcyclist Carey Hart and actor Ice Cube stand by as witnesses. In “Burned Alive,” Angel turns up the heat as he’s set ablaze -- not just once, but twice --in front of a horrified Las Vegas crowd. Angel next heads over to the Aladdin Hotel for “Building Walk”, where he strolls down the side of the 55 story structure without wires, harness or safety net. And in “Body Suspension,” the 5-time “Magician of the Year” is strung up by fishhooks through the skin of his back and limbs as a helicopter transports him through the majestic canyons of Nevada’s Valley of Fire State Park.
Additional fan-favorite episodes include the mystifying “Levitation,” “Walk on Water” and “Vanish.” As a bonus, Angel has added illuminating audio commentary to “Building Float,” in which he visibly levitates from the roof of one structure to the next, and “In Two,” perhaps the most gut-wrenching episode of all, in which he severs his own body with an oversized table saw, much to the horror and disgust of his audience.
Angel’s incredible illusions and magnetic personality have earned him a massive and devoted following, certain to build as new first-run Season Four episodes air and his new Vegas-based Cirque du Soleil gears up for its big premier. So, whether you’ve never seen his inimitable and unforgettable brand of illusion or you’re a “loyal freak” (as his rabid fans are called), you won’t want to miss the value-priced DVD release of CRISS ANGEL MINDFREAK: THE BEST OF SEASONS 1 & 2!
