Slog - Comments on I've Always Hated Criss Angel... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/ive_always_hated_criss_angel ...and today the Los Angeles Times came out on my side, giving an extravagantly negative review to Criss Angel: Believe, "the gloomy, gothic muddle of a show that officially lurched into being on Halloween night like some patched-together Frankenstein's monster." "Believe's" framing device is that Angel accidentally receives a 6-million-volt jolt of electricity that fries off most of his face (a spectacle captured by an ever-present video camera).
