By now you’ve heard about or seen the stunt that Criss Angel performed live in front of audiences in St. Petersburg, Florida, but before the illusion took place, the LA Times spoke with Angel and asked whether or not Cirque had requested he not go through with it. His response:
- Cirque is not very happy about my decision to do this because they have a lot of money invested in me and in the show. They would prefer that I don’t do it. Whether I kill myself or twist my ankle, it would still have a detrimental effect –- obviously one more than another –- on us opening. And there’s a lot of money that ticks away every day that show’s not open and we’re not ready to roll. So they don’t want me to do it. They’re not happy with this decision.
The LA Times ran a full interview with Angel, which you can read here.
