Angel's 'Believe' magic: Miffed fans disappear

ReviewJournal.com: "Criss Angel fans flew in from as far away as London to see his new Cirque du Soleil show open at the Luxor on Friday. The verdict by many? Creatively, 'Believe' is a possibly unsalvageable 'waste of time' and a 'dead end' that literally bored some audience members to sleep."

It sounds like Cirque did a good job with their part of it (despite actually choosing to do this show), and that Criss Angel didn't come through for them. Like I've said before, I don't think that Criss Angel has any substance as a magician. He is more about creating a show than actually performing illusion, and I don't think that mixes well with what Cirque does. Frankly, I kind of expected a negative reaction, if not this bad.

Well i was really curious how this one was going to pan out, but didn't expect this big of a flop. Especially an 85 mill flop.
