It’s far more underhanded than sleight-of-hand. Budding magicians who have been blatantly ripping off leading headline magicians are using more and more magic tricks of others.

It’s gotten so bad that Criss Angel told Britain’s Celebrity Radio Exclusively that he intends to sue “Britain’s Got Talent” magician Darcy Oake after one of his “stolen” illusions aired on the BBC show. Criss told CRE: “A total rip-off stolen for the show. They might as well have come in my house and stolen my TVs.”

As the world’s top magician having attracted 300 million hits on YouTube and generated $150 million in revenue at Cirque du Soleil’s “Believe” in the Luxor last year, Criss shot to fame on A&E with his pioneer, unique, exciting and often-controversial style of magic on “Mindfreak.” Read more at:

There was a time when professional magicians donned the tux and tails, tapped a top hat with a wand and professed to make a rabbit appear from its empty interior. Voila! But tonight is not such a time. And Criss Angel is not such a magician.

The star of the Luxor’s stuffed-with-illusions show Believe struts to the middle of the stage, wearing a black leather jacket, thick strands of silver dangling from his neck. His black hair is streaked crimson, as if his skull is bleeding.

Ten minutes or so have passed since the start of the show, as Angel’s support cast—led by his comically brilliant mini-me Maestro, portrayed by Mateo Amieva—have happily entertained the crowd. It’s a Sunday evening, and the place is about packed. Fans cheer when Angel strides prodigiously to center stage. He scans the dark and shouts, “I can’t hear you!”

Whoa. Okay, then. The crowd matches his energy with a dutiful roar. It’s as if Angel has put them on notice: This might be a stage show, but it’s also a participation sport. Read more…
