www.cirquefascination.com: Following the celebration of BeLIEve’s 7th anniversary as the number one best-selling magic production in Las Vegas, superstar magician, Criss Angel will unleash the future this spring at Luxor Hotel & Casino with his brand new creation MINDFREAK® LIVE!. The new immersive spectacle – based on the wildly successful touring version, which performed to sell-out houses across the country and was hailed as the “Magic Experience of a Lifetime” – will replace the critically acclaimed CRISS ANGEL BeLIEve.

I totally agree that “Believe” was a misstep. I think though that it could have been part of and due to the larger thing that Cirque was going through at the time that including producing shows that are completely original and new. I do believe that around the same time shows like The Beatles’ Love, Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour, and Viva Elvis. From what I’ve seen and others I have talked to that have seen those types of shows, they are typically not as engaging and authentic as original shows like Ká or Koozå. In terms of the new Criss Angel shows, it’s interesting because he still has two years left in his contract and it seems like Cirque Du Soleil is no longer being billed on the show title. I think that this redirection will be great fro Criss and his team and I think it was a long time coming for Cirque.
This is great! Just last summer I was in Las Vegas and went and saw Believe. Although I did enjoy the production, it wasn't as spectacular as the Criss Angel TV specials, which was really disappointing. I think that for this next show it will be better because as the article articulates Criss Angel is not just a performer with a whole team of people on the production, he is the director and producer, so this show can be Criss Angel to the extreme, which is what people want to see. At first when I read that Believe was closing I didn't think that Criss Angel would be performing a new show right after, I have been a fan of him and follow him on social media, and currently his 2 year old son has cancer, so while he had to cancel many shows in the past to be with his son, I can't imagine trying to plan a whole new one at the same time. I think that if he took time off from his career to be with his son everyone would understand and it is probably the best route for his family.
