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.

This show is awesome. And NO, you don't have to be a pothead to appreciate it.

I'm sure most people won't see it because not too many people have Showtime. But it's definitely worth seeking out.

Showtime has had some great shows lately. Huff is awesome. And Dead Like Me (now on DVD) is indispensable.

OK, who is the dude in the basement??

Is this really the start of a whole new season tonight? Life is good!

This summer I've noticed a lot of women wearing cork heeled shoes. I think they look silly, like some sort of bad Suzanne Sommers-influenced retro look. What's next John Ritter sneakers for guys? Oh... wait.
