The tricks – sorry, illusions – that magician Chris Angel does on his show, Mindfreak, are amazing. The way he brings them out of the showroom and to the people on the street is cool, too, although their astonishment at watching him float on air or do a fancy card tricks feels phonier and phonier the more you watch the show. The big problem with watching Mindfreak, however, is the freakish man behind it all. You admittedly need a big ego to do what Angel does, but the man’s endless talking about himself and how great he is gets a little old after a while. Having family and other sycophants on hand to agree with him all the time doesn’t help.
