Remembered as the star, creator, executive producer and director of mid-aughts A&E series Criss Angel Mindfreak, the alternative magician brings his iconic illusions and street magic to an intimate, non-MTV-esque “unplugged” setting. Joined by assistants and face-painted in a rather un-raw manner, Angel’s promised stripped-down magic show might bring back that childlike wonder of “How did he do it?” — or just make you Google the how-to videos for his tricks.
