View Full Version : Anyone else hate Criss Angel?

I dunno what it is about the guy. Is it the speech impediment that makes him sound uber-fucking gay?

I think most magicians are pretty fucking annoying, anyway...David Blaine is another one I can't fucking stand.

Copperfield? Another creepy motherfucker.

Frankly, other than Penn and Teller (who are sort of the anti-magicians, anyway) I can't think of a magician that isn't totally annoying or creepy.

I think it might just stem from the fact that these people probably got into magic in the first place, just in order to have people to even wanna be near them, because they are such fucking annoying losers...but it makes you wonder.

Can someone name a magician that isn't just totally fucking creepy?

Please, someone prove me wrong.

Comedy Magicians (Penn & Teller and such) are the only cool magicians. The rest of them are creepy mother fuckers.

They are just attention whores, of the worst ilk.

I don't mind him and Blaine at times. My brother in law is a big Criss Angel fan. I think he is ok.

As far as Penn and Teller go I'm not a fan. They are ok at times but at times I want to kick the little one to get him to talk, then kick the big one to get him to shut up.

All the ones listed have their good days.

He's OK, in small doses. I can see walking out on a show, though. Don't know how much of him I could stand.

His comedy central shows were ok, but I could see in some bits where he just doesn't pull it off. When he is berating his wife, it's pretty funny.

Ricky Jay basically makes a living "acting" as a creepy guy when not performing magic. I think he is pretty good at both as well.

You nailed it. My wife is a Criss Angel fan. So we went to his show in Vegas. He is a mediocre magician at best. His TV show must be loaded with camera effects.

And, yes, Penn and Teller are the only ones I can stand.

Go figure...I assumed this but never have seen him in person. The stuff on tv looks pretty cool but again...it's tv.

Anyone who tries to do "The Crow" magic show is automatically a douche.

Ever heard of Jeff McBride?

Can't be done.

You don't want to know where that rabbit's been, and those knotted up hankies? Not cool man, not cool.

Teller will cuss a blue streak to put sailors to shame, if there happens to be a trash can in his travel path, backstage, when it's blacked-out. Trust me :lmao:

Penn's a funny bastard... first thing I heard him say was "Can someone tell me what the FUCK is wrong with smoking crack and fucking in an airplane bathroom!!!???!?!"

There was a show recently, I can't recall what it was, but it was something Teller was passionate about, and much to my surprise, he spoke in the interview.

Not to turn this into a Penn and Teller thread, but I think this is pretty fucking spot-on:

Seriously... I knew this chick who dated a "magician"... basically just a creepy fuck with long hair, probably had dungeons and dragons fantasy sex with her or some shit.

He showed up with her to parties and started doing magic tricks... and we are all like "hey pedophile, we're grown adults, your tricks are shitty"...

Fuck that dude.
