World-renowned mystifier Criss Angel has thrilled millions of fans with his unique and daring demonstrations. Now, Criss is ready to amaze the world again with The Five Lives of Criss Angel, a five-part television event on A&E. In each episode, Criss will attempt never-before-seen effects, often placing his own safety - even his life - on the line.

The world-renowned mystifier takes his “Mindfreak” demonstrations to unprecedented levels with six epic one-hour specials featuring incredible illusions, death-defying escapes, fearless demonstrations and astonishing physical feats. This season Criss goes to new heights with a spectacular attempted jump across the Grand Canyon on a powerful new-age motorcycle where he will miraculously reappear in a locked cage dangling from a hovering helicopter or crash to his death. He will also attempt to walk up the side of the Luxor Hotel and Casino and combine two of his most acclaimed demonstrations when he attempts to levitate more than 400 feet up in the air and vanish. He will also attempt to pull off the largest mass vanish ever making more than 100 people disappear in the blink of an eye and recreate the most dangerous Houdini escape ever attempted – hanging more than 4000 feet above the ground.
