"Mindfreak" Star Spills Beans On 40 Tricks

Criss Angel Explains Them In Book; Demoes 3 On The Early Show

(CBS)  Illusionist Criss Angel is one of the most influential names in magic.

He turns viewers' senses inside-out on his hit show, "Mindfreak," which enters its third season next month, on A&E.

Now, Angel's new book, "Mindfreak: Secret Revelations" takes readers deep inside his inner-sanctum.

In it, he tells how to do 40 tricks he says readers can master. Angel showed three on The Early Show Wednesday, ones he calls "Ashes 2 Ashes," "Color Blind" and "Oops!"

Much of the book is devoted to Angel's family, particularly his late father.

Incidentally: In June, Angel plans to escape from a cement block in Times Square.

Criss Angel is the best!!! We didn't get to see him on the Early morning show this morning though! I was wondering why? Also, are you going to air it on another day so us Loyals can look for it? Thanks! Loyal Love for Criss Forever! Great Job Criss! Congrats on all of your well deserved success!!!
