Criss AngelA Halloween night episode of reality series Phenomenon turned scary when show judge Criss Angel was attacked by a disgruntled contestant.

Yeah Criss should have knocked him out, but he's a better person than that. He should have just made him disappear. The guy's performance was just painfull to watch, it was that bad. WTG Criss........ Love ya!

It's a shame the guy didn't kick the heck out of Criss. I used to be a very big Criss fan until I met him in person and he shot an episode of this past season where I live. Criss is an egomaniac and is by far his number one fan. He treated us really badly. Just one example of great Criss' actions to his fans: A little girl who was there for 13 and a half hours with her 79 year old grandmother wanted nothing more but a picture and an autograph. He told her to wait outside his trailer. She and her grandmother waited for five hours. He then walked past them and said he didn't have time for people like them.
Criss disgusts me. Plus his illusions in person are far different then the tv show. Staged big time. Don't fall for his crap or support his ego anymore please people!

Yeah, that illusionist (dare I call him that) Jim Callahan's performance was laughable. I'm glad to see Criss tell him so.
And ghostly_whisper...who told you that ridiculous story about the "little girl and her 79 yr old grandma"? Please. Could you have made that story more sappy like they were homeless and had a starving pet dog with them and they stood in the freezing rain…….Are you really Jim Callahan in disguise??
That story is bogus. I’ve known Criss for years. Yes, he has a huge ego…nothing wrong with that. But, no way, would he do that to his fans. Or anyone else for that matter..

Yeab, Criss really should have knocked him out. Criss was right, that performance was comicle, and stupid. ghostly_whisper, I doupt Criss would really do that. So what if he has a big ego. Shur I don't know him, but people I've seen who do say he's a really nice guy. I think Jim Callahan is a disgrace to mentillism and illiouions. I don't know a lot about them, but I do know your suposed to be convincing. I also thought Criss chalenging him to read what was in the envelope was genious. Go Criss!

who the X@@##! are you ghost_whisper to tell me to stop like Chriss huh? eventhough I don't even know anything about him but I think Jim Callahan is the one who started it first. Beside I know that I like Chriss who cares if he has a big ego I don't care but you have no right to tell me to stop like him everybody can like anyone if they want to that is.

Criss Angel should have his IBM membership stripped as well as his Magician of the year awards. Our IBM code specifically states:
A)Display ethical behavior in the presentation of magic to the public and in our conduct as magicians, including not interfering with or jeopardizing the performance of another magician either through personal intervention or the unauthorized use of another's creation.
He overtly abused this stance in his attack on Jim Callahan, In post interviews Criss misleads the public as he spins the events, as ever, around him, dragging his dead father and 9/11 into the mix. Jim never claimed nor tried to involve Criss dad.
He is an arrogant stooge using fraud when it comes to the art of magic.
