“Well to be perfectly frank with you I never created art or have done demonstrations for anyone before myself artistically. I always do it to try to push my own envelope to be the best I can be.” TryingWellsArtI CanDoneMy OwnBeing The BestFrankDemonstrationEnvelopes Author:Criss Angel
“Everything that I spent my entire life dedicated to, which is this art of mentalism, of magic... I don't see it and feel it and experience it like I first did when I was getting involved in this art. I try to look at it as a spectator but unless I get amnesia I still can't overlook that. I can appreciate the performance but I would love to be fooled.” FeelsTryingFirstsLooksArtStillsI CanMagicInvolvedAppreciatePerformancesDedicatedSpectatorsFooledAmnesia Author:Criss Angel

But, many people say I'm really a student of humanity and psychology.” PeopleArtWould BeWantedHumanityFeltTermPsychologyMagicStudentsReactionsCoinsMagician Author:Criss Angel
