Posted on: Illusion is elusive in Angel's 'Believe'

Hey Joe - How would you like it if I said your review was boring and made me fall asleep? LOL - see how immature that sounds when you're on the receiving end? Besides, you explained the entire show except the end of 'Believe'. Your article has enthusiasm, but it's only your opinion and rather rude in places. To me there's a difference between a critique and an attack on character and you seem to have blurred the lines! Believe rocks and I love it!

Posted on: 'Believe' audience looking for magic in show's previews

Our large group saw Believe on Sept 30th and we were blown away by the intensity and beauty of Criss Angel's magic. His complex, groundbreaking vision of nature and the supernature is imaginative and brilliant.

The music, costumes and supporting cast complete a timeless elegant production combining skill of the highest order and concepts not easily grasped by some - hence the hostile and naive reactions by some reviewers. There have been previous taboo areas when dealing with magic and supernature. Comments based on unknown fears do not surprise me but the negative reactions are unjust.

If you do not understand there's no reason to attact. Try to learn something on this magical trip! Criss Angel takes us on a mindbending journey of painful, passionate all consuming love in his storyline. This is life, the magic of matter changing constantly to something else in nature.

The beautiful elements of the show drive the production into another dimension which takes most people, especially men, out of their emotional comfort zones. Believe tears down walls and I think women can go there more easily than men, hence the strong negative reactions from most men who are afraid, and yes, jealous of Criss' obvious talent and strength.

I will see Believe again & again. I need this beauty and truth in my life, not the gloom and doom of naysayers. I rate 'Believe' infinite stars out of infinite stars*******
