David Blaine is one of the magicians that has brought mainstream magic tricks and death defying mind over matter stunts to major network television. Ten years ago that never happened but today it is all too real. Another magician who has brought magic to popular television is Criss Angel. He is a magician who appeals to the younger more hip crowd and walks the streets and casinos in LasVegas performing magic for the masses with nothing but a walking camera man. It is truly amazing to see him live in person. He has his own television show called Mindfreak that launched him to super stardom in a matter of months. Now he performs nightly at the Luxor and sells out every night.

There are many places to find great movies and shows on magic and magicians. Online sites have tons of info regarding your favorite magician or favorite shows in Las Vegas or other cities. If you are looking to find some great magic movie information check out the Magic Movies guide and let the land of make believe keep you going.

Las Vegas is perhaps the best place in the world to catch magic shows and movies because they are always out there nightly performing and they are in just about every casino on the strip.

In Criss Angel: Believe, he will take his audience through a strange and mystifying journey through the haunting inner workings of his mind and the surreal world created by Cirque du Soleil performers in his show Believe, directed by Serge Denoncourt.

Unlike having a continuous story line like most of the other Cirque du Soleil shows, in this show the different scenes come randomly, very much like they are part of a dream. If you try to analyze how the scenes fit together while watching the show, your effort will be to no avail. Instead it is better to understand that various characters and scenes can pop-up arbitrarily, so you can focus on the cutting edge choreography by Wade Robson and innovative costumes by Mérédith Caron.

This show is a unique combination of two distinct art forms, Criss Angel’s clearly carved out persona as a magician and Cirque du Soleil. The different elements create an avant-garde dose of entertainment that you need to see to Believe.

If you are going to be deciding which shows in Las Vegas to see this year, if you like Cirque du Soleil and magic this is the show for you. Criss will be performing on and off all through the year of 2009.
