I wasn’t a smart kid and I still don’t think I’m too smart when it comes to book smart, but I was very good with what I knew and with my craft and I think that was my calling in life. But even today I never went to college. Criss Angel Read Quote
I used to think that if I had success I would have freedom. But I have less freedom now than I’ve ever had. And what gives me satisfaction is not the jewelry and not the cars. What gives me satisfaction is doing things for others, like children. Criss Angel Read Quote
Oprah is signed on to help, and a lot of celebrity friends have agreed to help me raise money for Make-A-Wish. We want to make the world a better place for innocent children. I cried my heart out when my father died from cancer. I wish I was smarter, wiser like a doctor, to save these children from dying. Criss Angel Read Quote
I came up with the term ‘mindfreak’ because I didn’t like the word ‘magician.’ I felt like I wanted to coin a term that would be basically the reaction to my art.

A lot of the demonstrations that I do, when I get inside people’s minds, is understanding human behavior and understanding how people think and getting their patterns down so I know how to create the illusion that I get inside their brain. Criss Angel Read Quote
I’m just a human being that is in touch with myself. And I’m honest with myself. And I really, at the end of the day, don’t care what people say. I never cared about what people say. Criss Angel Read Quote
If people are fans of ‘Mindfreak,’ they are going to be so excited with ‘Believe.’ They are actually going to see those illusions that people think can only happen with trick photography. Criss Angel Read Quote
I love the press; I even like the people that don’t like me. If it wasn’t for those people, no one would know who I was and I wouldn’t have a gig. Criss Angel Read Quote
Picking locks or handcuffs for me is not really a big deal, I can do it pretty much in seconds, I’ve been doing since I was 14 years old. I used to sit on my bed as a kid with a pick set and you know just picking locks and stuff, so I’m used to it. Criss Angel Read Quote
