Unfortunately I have to agree with all of the comments above. WE ahve followed his show Mindfreak on TV and couldnt wait to see him in Novemebr 2008 just after it opened.
WE were very disappointed and to be quite honest haven’t evened bothered to watch his TV show when we got back to Australia.
I hope he gets his act together and makes it HIS SHOW and we will gladly come back and see him again. Dont give up Chris.

I went twice now and seen the show and Loved it even my Husband who is not much of a fan like me enjoyed it the 2nd time as well its a Stage show and you all have to remember he did not want it to be just a magic show. And If the show is doing so bad why is still one of the Top 10 shows in vegas even with the recession. Ive also talked to other people who loved the show as well. Thanks

Just saw this show on April 9th and I have commented on everything possible to let people know.DON’T WAIST YOUR MONEY AND SEE THIS SHOW IT SUCKS I can’t believe I paid so much to see this show what a dissapointment. I was ripped off. It was so amateur that you could see all the ropes and the trap doors. I can’t believe Cirque Du Soleil with all these bad reviews haven’t canceled the show. I know sooner or later this show is going to crash. It sucks as I used to like Criss Angel. I thought he was better than David Copperfield by far but after seeing this preformance not a chance…

VERY dissapointed.
Not worth the money.. any money.

You can actually see the tricks before they happend. It is NOT a Magic show and is NOT a Circus.. is something that has no beggining and NO end.

It is a shame that Cirque Du Soleil would put his name into this production.

He is burning his image for future projects.. I would love my money back!!!!

Terrible in every way! We seen it on the opening night and nothing but disappointment all the way. We had respect for him from his Mindfreak TV show but lost all respect for him from his low class, magic tricks 101, and non talented singing. cmon, how can cirque possible support this terrible show and put their name and reputation with with this show? Save you money and put it towards anything but this show!

This show IS A HUGE DESASTER!!! IT IS JUST HORRIBLE!!! Been to Vegas 10 times and seen ALL shows on the strip, I really mean ALL SHOWS! Among them: “Mamma-Mia”, “O”, “KA”, “La Reve”, “Zumanity”, “Beatles”, “Phantom of the Opera”, “Jubily” and some more not as high-end, but stil pretty good. THIS one is just a JOKE!!! Do not waste your money and time! This show has taken a couple of good ideas from the artist Salvador Dali (show used long-legged rabbits instead of the elephants in Dali’s paintings); dancing is not the best, but still very nice. As to the “magic” – there was none. Tricks we saw would be absolutely loved by my 7 years old daughter, but my 12 year old son would definitely try to throw something at so called “magician”. People were leaving in the middle of the show! I remember after watching show “KA” I was so amazed that I asked people at the booth “Did we pay enough?” The only question I had after this show is how do I get my money back for the crap I just have seen!!! DO NO GET CONNED!!!! DO NOT GO THERE!!!

Hey everyone just got back from vegas where part of our trip was to see Believe. All four of us were so pumped to see the show, but, we all came out of the show very disappointed. The magic was so obvious with the exception of 2 tricks. We wanted to be blown away but it just reinforced in our minds that his tv series is nothing but a bunch of camera tricks and editing. Criss if u read this u need to reinvent the show because you are going to lose alot of fans. Next time we all agree to go to Copperfield. Sorry Criss but when you hype yourself up so much you better deliver, and for the money we paid I would like a refund. I give the show a 3/10. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW !!!!!!!!!!

I love Chris Angel, his show is terrific, he’s got a great personality and despite MANY bad reviews and people telling me “don’t waste your money” I went anyways.
Walking into the show I had very LOW expectations (based on what people told me) and as I sat down for the first 5 minutes of the show, I tried to tell myself that it wont be that bad and that I’ll be able to find some good in it, I tried…but accomplished nothing.
I am SO upset with Chris, he sold himself out. I understand it was a Cirque show, but don’t start the show off with examples all of your death defying stunts that you’ve done on tv and then after 20 minutes of dancing around with rabbits in costume, pull a bird out of your sleeve!
It was a waste of time and money.
Some people left the show early, if was sitting in an isle seat I would have done the same.
Shame on Chris, he wont last 10 years there! The respect I had for him as a magician is lost.

I “BELIEVE” I just Witnessed the worst show ever.

I ” BELIEVE” I just witnessed the most pathetic attempt at magic ever.

I “BELIEVE” I just got screwed.

I give this show a -10 out of ten. I fell asleep during it. I like to find good in everything but the only thing good about this show was the end. When he disappeared. The house was full and the only clapping was by a handfull of people with sympathy claps!!!!!

Fans should remember it’s a combination of Mindfreak and Cirque. They shouldn’t go to the show expecting one or the other. I would have an open mind, because Criss also co-wrote the show, so you know it’s coming from his heart. I work with Cirque and for some backstage footage check this out…youtube.com/cirquelasvegas
