Op-Ed: Criss Angel puts on the greatest magic show of 2019

This summer, he performed it at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Broadway in New York City, and it earned rave reviews from his loyal fans and critics alike. Digital Journal proclaimed it as “spectacular,” and rightfully so.

For Angel, being able to perform his magic on Broadway was like fulfilling a childhood dream. He is the epitome of what hard work and perseverance can do. With this show, he was able to pay homage to one of his biggest heroes in magic, the late but great Doug Henning.

It was packed with such incredible demonstrations as razor blade swallowing, his signature “metamorphosis,” which he performed in a straightjacket in record-breaking time, his close-up magic routine entitled “Black Star,” as well as his world-class teleportation act.

A ticket to any Criss Angel magic show, especially “Raw — The Mindfreak Unplugged” should be on every magic fan’s bucket list. He is as good as it gets in the contemporary magic scene, and he is still at the top of his game. One can always count on Criss Angel to blow people’s minds away.

Most impressive about Angel is that he was honored with the highest and most coveted award in magic from the International Brotherhood of Magicians, “The Lifetime Achievement Award,” which has only been given six times in nearly the 100-year history of the prestigious organization.

Congratulations are in order for Criss Angel and his entire crew and team for a job well done in putting on a marvelous production on New York City’s Broadway stage. Hopefully, this is a harbinger of more great things to come from Angel in the near future.
