| - At the beginning of this review I want to address some things that bother me about previous reviews. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it appears many misunderstand the show, or just do not seem to understand the differences between shows in Vegas versus shows everywhere else. The biggest complaint I see is where people tend to criticize the show because Criss talks about himself and there is clips from his show. That is the case pretty much with any show done in Vegas by stars. The difference is that the star of the show gets real with the audience and talks about their life and experiences. I prefer this to just doing magic, you really get to know the artist better.
As for the show we went to we really enjoyed it, we have always been fans of Criss and his show, there is dark and even stupid humor (welcome to Vegas!). However, overall its a great show and you really get to know Criss a little better. I saw someone complain about him saying "are you ready" a lot...um just for those who are planning to see the show in the future that is kind of his slogan, look in the gift shop its all over pretty much everything. Chris is a showman and yes he loves applause (that's kind of why he does it). If you appreciate a good show and comes exactly as marketed. It has a lot of different types of his magic and it really is done well. For those who feel that they can tell "how he did it" you really do miss the point of magic, its about the show and it is not about it appearing to be real magic or not. There were a couple times while watching that I was baffled, but sometimes I could see what was happening. Instead of criticizing the artist because you figured it out. Just be proud that you did, because I guarantee you that you are one of the few. It's a magic show and if you like Criss Angel and his type of magic you will love this show. I highly recommend sitting up close, it is definitely worth it.
