Criss Angel
Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos, also known by his stage name Criss Angel, is an illusionist, and magician. Criss has performed on many venues for many shows. He is mainly a Las Vegas performer, but has had TV specials and shows after him. He is considered one of the biggest mysticist and illusionist of today's age. He fell in love with magic at age 7. His aunt introduced him to it and he has been quoted saying, "From that day on, I was hooked."
He did his first performance at the age of 12 at a neighbors birthday party for a fee of $10. He then went on to perform for his high school, restrurants, and later toured. His acts did not take long to be recognized by talent agents. At a young age Angel had said the phrase, "I felt this incredible sense of power that an adult didn't understand how it worked, but I did." He still says the same thing in most interviews. He sees magic as more than an act. He sees it for its true beauty and mysticism.
