Anyone else hate Criss Angel? - Page 2

His comedy central shows were ok, but I could see in some bits where he just doesn't pull it off. When he is berating his wife, it's pretty funny.

As far as Penn and Teller go I'm not a fan. They are ok at times but at times I want to kick the little one to get him to talk, then kick the big one to get him to shut up.

All the ones listed have their good days.

Teller will cuss a blue streak to put sailors to shame, if there happens to be a trash can in his travel path, backstage, when it's blacked-out. Trust me

Penn's a funny bastard... first thing I heard him say was "Can someone tell me what the FUCK is wrong with smoking crack and fucking in an airplane bathroom!!!???!?!"

Ricky Jay basically makes a living "acting" as a creepy guy when not performing magic. I think he is pretty good at both as well.

You nailed it. My wife is a Criss Angel fan. So we went to his show in Vegas. He is a mediocre magician at best. His TV show must be loaded with camera effects.

And, yes, Penn and Teller are the only ones I can stand.

Go figure...I assumed this but never have seen him in person. The stuff on tv looks pretty cool but again...it's tv.

Anyone who tries to do "The Crow" magic show is automatically a douche.

Ever heard of Jeff McBride?

You don't want to know where that rabbit's been, and those knotted up hankies? Not cool man, not cool.

There was a show recently, I can't recall what it was, but it was something Teller was passionate about, and much to my surprise, he spoke in the interview.

I guess you can't stay silent forever.

Not to turn this into a Penn and Teller thread, but I think this is pretty fucking spot-on:
