What a waste of time. Got to the arena an hour and a half early and waited in line for an hour. There was a line to sign a consent form. When we got to the front of the line I realized they had no forms ready so a girl was running off somewhere printing them 10 at a time. the group in front of us got in but we were sent away. The arena seats 11,000 but I don't think more than a few hundred got a seat. Somebody should be more considerate of the audience.

In 1998 in Carpe Noctem Magazine Cris angel was quoted:

"Magic has not kept up with technology. The way it's presented and perceived is a total cliché. It doesn't garner the respect music, theatre or the cinema has. I think part of the reason is most magicians are a hybrid of each other. They all think like magicians and it seems there are very few outside influences in their creative process. We're heading into a new millennium and most magicians are performing the same mundane shove-the-girl-in-the-box trick with their hokey presentations, corny jokes and bland pre-recorded music. And the sad thing is that they think it's the "New Wave of Magic"

I came across an old magazine, published back in 1998 that had an interview with Cris Angel in it. It had this rather interesting quote

Interesting that someone with his vision and resources ended up presenting the very type of show that he himself had railed against.

If you go back a few more years you will find that he went on national TV and exposed the thin model sawing. So there is contradiction all over the place with him.

I remember that, but wasn't that the show where Criss performed but refused to expose the thin model, so they found another guy to expose it?
