Angel was born on December 19. Raised in East Meadow, New York and is of Greek descent. Angel grew up loving music (playing drums, flute and accordion) and has always had an interest in magic. His parents are John and Dimitra Sarantakos. He has two brothers, Costa and JD, as well as two cats, Minx and Hammy (short for Hamlet). One of Criss's biggest influences has been his father, who died from stomach cancer. Criss Angel first became interested in magic at the age 6, when his Aunt Stella showed him a card trick. Two of his biggest magic influences are Harry Houdini and Aldo Richiardi.. As a teenager, Angel performed at birthday parties, at night clubs, at home to entertain his family, and at private events. Early in his magic career, magician James Randi designed Angel's professional business card. He played in an Industrial music band called AngelDust with friend Klayton Scott ( Celldweller, Argyle Park )who produced, co-wrote and helped arrange the music for his show, Mindfreak.

About Criss Angel MindFreak (show)...Mystifier Criss Angel transcends tradition and has created a new form of extreme entertainment that he calls “Mindfreak”. Think Harry Houdini meets Cirque d’Soleil meets Fear Factor and you’ll have a pretty good sense of what this show is all about. In each episode Criss literally defies reality and puts his life on the line. From catching a real bullet in his teeth to levitating people on the street to having himself burned alive, each show will be packed with things that boggle the imagination. To prove the credibility of his demonstrations, they are all performed live in public spaces in front of real pedestrians rather than on a stage before an audience. The show will offer a totally unique glimpse behind the scenes as Criss prepares and trains with his team to execute each demonstration. One of the most compelling elements of the show is witnessing his real family’s unfiltered reaction to the crazy risks he takes. Go to Criss Angel.Com to read more about Criss Angel and his show.
