On Wednesday, July 30th, Criss Angel will peform a stunt in my backyard by attempting to escape from the Spyglass Hotel in Clearwater Beach before it implodes. He sat down with Mike Donila of the St. Petersburg Times to discuss all things Angel. From the article:
- Sporting a necklace shaped like handcuffs, except with hundreds of diamonds, a black T-shirt and hat promoting his upcoming Believe, a new show by Cirque du Soleil at Luxor in Las Vegas, internationally renowned illusionist and escape artist Criss Angel sat down with the St. Petersburg Times for an exclusive interview Monday afternoon. Speaking for almost an hour, he touched on a number of topics ranging from life, death, family, fighting, magic and why he doesn’t want to be a role model, yet somehow sets an example anyway. Oh, yeah, he also mentioned Wednesday night’s event on Clearwater Beach where he’ll attempt to escape from the Spyglass hotel before it implodes.
Read the full interview here.
“There’s 550 sticks of dynamite that will be below my feet, there’s a helicopter that needs to hover 30 feet above the roof. If I don’t make it through the handcuffs, five locks and four doors in no more than three minutes and 30 seconds — if I’m one second late, that helicopter needs to leave without me. Who knows, I could trip, I could have trouble picking a lock.”
Good Luck Criss!
