Criss Angel’s TV Show is So Uncomfortable 

I love the sound of all the junk he's wearing always clacking around when he moves

The longer an episode goes the more I'm convinced the Chris Angel should never be allowed around children.

I refuse to believe that this entire show wasnt one big Eric Andre skit.

Man I NEVER remember this show being this bad I can't believe I thought it was so badass as a kid..😁

It genuinely makes me uncomfortable to watch him interact with children 😅 that park scene was something you'd see on SVU

Chris Hansen: "Chris, can I talk to you." Criss: "I was just hanging out with some kids in a candy story."

Completely forgot about him yelling “Now!” for every trick 😂

I remember Mindfreak being huge in my school. Kids would go around screaming Mindfreak and “are you ready” at each other. Of course, this was around the time “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” was released, and you had emo kids dressing like Criss Angel doing the Soulja Boy dance. The shame I feel for being involved in this movement is, in a word, immense, and I am very happy that this occurred before social media was as big as it is nowadays 😅

I was really looking forward to the next criss angel episode. The only thing I don't like about your videos is that they are less than a hour lol

The weirdest thing about this show is him having that bone structure and body, but still choosing to present himself as if Tommy Lee got dressed in the dark.

So I was actually a kid on an episode of Mindfreak. He did the underwater trick at the Silverton. All of the kids for that one were real. We were told Criss would be there at 5 waited his team came out at 6:30 with 3 actors, publicly debriefed them, then sprinkled them throughout the crowd. All the kids were moved from their parents to a roped section in the front, then they “selected” the “random fans” to check the locks and authenticity of Criss’ bondage at 8 o clock. And that was the day he stopped being my favorite magician, I was so sad it took that long..

Obviously this man has no malice intentions at the park, but that also does not take away how creepy he sounds lol

Chris angel's talking to children voice was creepy. Also him yelling NOW anywhere would usher a police investigation

The "happens every time" from Criss then "wait hold up... Huh" from Chris is the exact bit of content I look for on this channel 😂😆😂😆😂😆😂😆

These are basically the same kind of magic tricks my friends and I were filming in 6th grade , and we'd always say no camera tricks while using camera tricks. Same amount of cringe too.

I am dying of chronic gonorrhea and your videos have kept me smiling throughout my final days. Thank you my friend, thank you.

the busting out of the doll house was totally reminiscent of a stripper jumping out of a cake.. . perfect for the little ones!!! lmao

As a video editor, I find magic “editing” incredibly insulting and offensive to actual magicians who practice their ass off!

No one told him maybe the small, almost child sized hand cuffs chain was a weird choice to wear at the toy store.

The more I look back on this show the more I realize most of this isn’t magic they just hide people and have them jump out lmao

I love how you are like... I'm not giving up on telling the world how weird Criss Angel is. I will find a way around your loopholes. So suck it, copyright infringement people!

6:11 Kids: "STOP SMOKING!!!" Criss Angel in his head: **NOWWWW!!**

The embodiment of early 2000s edgyness

So I'm an elder millennial that gets nostalgic about the 2000s era of reality TV all the time and have been looking for a content creator that re-watches these shows with funny commentary. You're all of that and more! Subscribed - please keep this all up! Would love you to do videos on Flavor of Love, Tila Tequila, Fear Factor, and honestly anything else VH1 came out with :)

as a former mindfreak consultant, I can confirm criss angel does, in fact, have clinical baby brains

He was honestly freaking me out talking to kids. What tf is wrong with him?!

The thumb gag had me laughing way more than i'd like to admit...

Ah yes, another installment of Chris vs. Criss.

My brain as a kid made mindfreak seem less scripted and more real...now I am curious to see David Blaines older stuff, so I can really see how gullible I was as a child. When "Child" Chris Angel stole that kiss from that girl, my whole body crumpled up from the astronomical cringe, all most condensed myself into a small black hole.

Criss Angel isn’t considered a “real magician” in the magic community. He does use camera tricks/editing and dual-reality/pre show work. I’ve seen his show it’s just eye candy and fire/rock n roll type stuff. I recommend Dan Sperry, Shin Lim, Gregory Wilson, Penn And Teller:)

“Walking around out of breath looking for people to fuck with” so funny

Dude, your channel is great. I'm currently in the hospital for a month long stay, and each of your videos have kept my spirits up.

This show was the reason why I got sent to an alternative school for the rest of the school year back in 2nd grade. I brought a knife to school for a magic trick and amazing enough they didn't take it so well 🤣

Why do I feel like you would have played the best kid Criss angel as a kid?

I remember getting his magic toy set for Christmas lol my sister spent $60 for it. It was all cheap dollar store stuff in that box 😂

Should have said, “He’s a Jack of all spades” since he does a lot of card tricks

Damn this is comedy gold. I believed the people weren't plants too. Thanks for making me realize how cringe this show really was. What the fuck was wrong with me back then?

Chris, making these videos is what you were born to do. Please keep up the great work!

I cant freaking believe i used to try to levitate like this man did when i was a kid 🤣 im dying just remembering

I remember my little brother and I watching his show religiously. Now I know it was not a fever dream. Kind of. You crack me the fug up man, thank you, keep it up!👏🙌

I went to a MINDFREAK show here in Vegas with my family the show was super entertaining and I was lucky enough to get on stage with him and some other randoms from the crowd and I can't lie .. he did a few tricks I watched him do with my own eyeballs and I was kinda baffled 🤨🤔 overall worth the $40 and entertaining 👍🏽

This channel i feel like opens up a whole can of worms known as “early 2000’s reality TV” for me and I’m so here for it.

Criss Angel: "Watch me turn this 8 year old into an 18 year old!" Kids: "Woah!" Criss Angel: "Now beat kids, I'm gonna be busy for a sec"

If criss angel approached my kid at the park and said “don’t you love coming to the park? How old are you?” I’d call the police immediately.

My brain has received a lot of emotional and cringe damage from Criss, can’t believe how cringe his show was. Edit: I just realized this awesome youtuber's name is Chris, I made a mistakenly wrote Criss as Chris. I apologize for the minor mistake. You are amazing Chris, keep at it!

I love when Chris goes, "ITs MiNdFrEaKiN TiMe! NoW!!!" and freaks everybody's mind. One of the magic of all time!

The choking skit was funny af and well edited lol

Call me a cheap date but the "...ok, so I took off without a landing." line got me where it counts. Sub confirmed!👍

Criss can make his videos disappear, but not forever 😈

0:12 I have NEVER heard that saying....... “I took off without a landing on that one!” 😆😂🤣

Honestly Chris deserves way more subscribers and attention, I can’t tell you the last time I’ve cackled this much and mostly from the intermissions when he’s talking. This is the type of youtubers we need more of.💚

I keep hearing his many chains slapping against each other. Must have been the last noise many of these kids heard

I truly wish your channel all the success; it’s got everything. Keep up the great work, and never lose sight of the funny dude you seem to be

I wish I was your friend IRL so we could crack up watching Chris Angel and feel like we just watched something illegal afterwards lol

Showed my wife your last C.A. video only yesterday. I couldnt believe she'd never heard of the show. Now I have more cringe for her!

I am 41. I just found out everyone and everything in Mind freak is fake. I graduated college. I am 41.🤦‍♀️

Is it supposed to be implied that the gum he was chewing was magically wrapped back up, and then he handed it to her?

Man, can you imagine the magic he could do if he could turn cameras on and off? Oh... wait...

Emo Jesus is back baby!

Hey dude, have you thought about covering “Pros vs. Joes” on the channel? If you’re unfamiliar, it’s exactly what sounds like. A bunch of retired former pro athletes going against a bunch of washed up never-were’s (never weres, never was’?) that think they can beat pros. Anybutt it was another one of those early 2000’ shows that were everywhere back then.

You are funnier and more entertaining than 99% of any RU-vidrs I've watched. I would actually watch your reaction vids for you, and not because I couldn't find the content on it's own.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought Criss was very creepy and weird back when his show was airing.

The moment Chris' team realized the majority of viewers were 10 years old and they had to both make the tricks more kid friendly... and give the girls something to fantasize about 🤷‍♂

I appreciate these videos so much. Just so you know your early 2000s tv show videos are the best

Please keep this up. I love your content and sense of humor!

1:41 Girls? GIRLS! Get away from that strange man! Quickly!

I see a new Chris James vid, and I click. Always great stuff!

“I was just hanging out with kids in a candy store” wait what? Haha.

I loved this show as a kid. Watching it now… who thought he had the personality to hold a show lol so awkward

Chris, I just want you to know I love your humor. I think it stands out.

Honestly had to subscribe when he pulled out the chainmail. I expected a weapon but when a man pulls out a defensive tool you know he’s seen a thing or two.

Based on the thumbnail, I thought you were gonna talk about you being the kid in the show 😂

The idea of that girl going to a funeral dress like that just really makes my life have meaning and how I want people to dress at my funeral also

67.8% of people haven't subscribed!? I subscribed after the first video but DAMN they must not like you at all my friend, they do not care for you at alllll. If they were DECENT and not MONSTERS they would subscribe. (Is.. is this guilt trip working yet?) If you see an uptake in your subscribers you can thank me later. Sincerely, A random girl on the internet.

i can’t remember a time when criss angel wasn’t cringey af 😂 even when this show was on ppl were constantly making fun of it.

It’s gonna be a good video when in the first minutes, Criss creeps around at a playground, turns into a child to kiss the 10 year old, then switches back. Wtf 😂 “It’s Criss-mas” 🤌🏻

I used to be so hype about this dude when I was a teen. What a display of utter cringe.

Criss Angel was the only guy in his 40s shopping at Hot Topic lmao

Found you a couple weeks ago and your alr one of my favorites ur sense of humor is amazing u deserve 1million+ subs

8:41... "Have you ever dreamed what it would be like to be an inanimate piece of plastic?" "yeah, yeah"... What? What is that question, what kid would go yeah to that question? Like "be a princess, be a super model, be a Super Sayan, be a Death Note user, be a super hero, etc" sure fine but be a piece of plastic? What?

I genuinely laughed out loud watching this at my desk at work.

Dude your videos are just so great.... still waiting on those new tiktoks tho. lmao only joking . MUCH LOVE! Your content is fantastic!

U are genuinely funny. I can’t even pick a favorite line to quote u with because u were hitting me with the zingers one after another 🤣 I have to rewatch this just to laugh at all ur quips again

I was actually on the show! In the summer of 2013! I'vw gone to meet and greet too! He was a resident megician at the Luxor while I'd visit family in Vegas. I signed up to be on a taping and that was a regular occurrence at the Luxor. I'd love to share, haha it was a trip.

This is the kind of magic you can only pull off in front of actors and tv cameras.

The way he speaks to children 😅 it’s so uncumfyyyy gives intense “I DONT KNOW YOU” energy

Chris, I’m so proud of you! I’ve been with you before 1k and have always enjoyed your content. Congrats on your success and keep up the AMAZING WORK!!

Choked on the weed smoke cause of your commentary 😂 well done sir

i love your criss angel videos. the whole show feels like a fever dream tbh. glad i saw the one that was taken down before it was taken down!

Year 1 - "Chris is a master illusionist who has spent his whole life working on the craft of slight-of-hand and magic tricks." Year 4 - "Chris is a legit wizard who distorts time and reality to suit his every whim."

Once saw him wear his watch above his sweater sleeve. I thought it was the coolest fashion statement...I started to do the same. My older sister saw and quickly told me "don't ever wear it like that outside this house. thank every god for siblings.

As a former performing magician, I cannot stand C.A. I think he’s a terrible magician. His new TV show is the pinnacle of terrible shows.

If I saw a man talking to children on a playground like this, I would immediately usher the children out of the park

I could never stand him. He stole his fashion off of the Finnish band 'HIM'. And his Karen haircut makes me laugh so much 😂

Chris angel: “Aw ur such a cute kid, how old are you huh?” Kid: “I’m ten years old” Chris angel: *“Aw that’s adorabl- GUYS NOW!”* Kid: “MOM WHERE ARE YOU”

Alright, not going to lie, when I was a kid, I both thought he graduated from Hogwarts and also had a smidge of Jesus all wrapped neatly and ready for Spencers.

I was so pissed as a kid when I was told he wasn’t even doing illusions. It was all actors and editing. Constantly saying your not An actor and we never ? To people who were exactly that.

My best friend when I was a teenager, his sister won a dinner with Criss Angel and she said he was the biggest asshole on the planet, didn't do any magic, was super loud and mad about everything. Absolutely nothing like how he is in the show especially here.
