I have to say that I was expecting more from Criss Angel. I think the theatrics of the Cirque Du Soleil characters made the performance better. I give it 2 stars because there was actual magic tricks performed, but it was way too many disappearing/re-appearing going on. He mixed into the performance some homelike videos about his history becoming a magician. Interesting, but I came for the performance. I'm sure I could catch that history on youtube or wiki or something. Like I mentioned, there were too many disappearing acts. He did do his signature cut a woman in half thing, but unfortunately the oohs and ahhs were more like "OK, sure" in the end. He seemed to be more interesting in showing off himself and quite honestly the whole display seemed kind of corny. However, will you see interesting magic - Yes - but I do not think it was worth anywhere near the price of the tickets.
