Criss Angel Believe Has a Few Tricks Up It’s Sleeve for the Strip

As the newest addition to the Las Vegas Strip, Cirque du Soleil’s Criss Angel Believe will redefine magic shows in Vegas forever. Having already signed a contract for a 10 year stint at the Luxor Hotel and Casino, Believe will be one of the longest running and most expensive shows to ever arrive in Las Vegas. Criss Angel Believe is a $100 million production that is set for its gala opening on September 12, 2008.

Created, produced, and performed by one of the most provocative artists of the 21st century, Believe is sure to play tricks with your mind. Criss Angel is an acclaimed magician and illusionist, known for his mind-blowing illusions and stunts. Angel has won the highly praised Louie Award for “Outstanding Achievement in the Art of Magic” and numerous other awards. With his hit show “Mind-Freak” under his belt, the challenge of combining his world-famous illusions with the essence of Cirque du Soleil is his newest venture.

Believe is the haunting journey into the twisted mind of Criss Angel. With Cirque du Soleil at its core, Believe will present never before seen illusions, original costumes, and choreography. As Cirque du Soleil’s sixth show on the Vegas Strip, Criss Angel says to “expect the unexpected.” “This show is beyond my wildest fantasy. It is beyond anything I can even comprehend. This show is unlike anything the world has ever seen,” says Angel.

The show is named after the late-great magician Houdini. It is said that when Houdini was on his death bed, he told his wife to never give up hope and that those that were still able to talk to him from the grave would know the pass code, which was BELIEVE. Believe plays off of this tale by floating between reality and make-believe. So, with a few tricks up their sleeve…Cirque du Soleil pulls out the ace with this production. Stop dreaming and start believing what is right before your very eyes, at Criss Angel Believe.
