"Mindfreak" Star Spills Beans On 40 Tricks

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.
