Criss is going to drive this motorcycle
into this steel cage.
The cage is going to be lifted up 50 feet.
Criss will be visible at all times until the last second.
Pyro goes off.
The cage falls apart.
And he's planning to, within a split second, vanish--
--and reappear right in front of them.
CRISS ANGEL (VOICEOVER): This is all about precision timing.
I have the time to vanish perfectly with the pyro.
The explosives will cause the cage to break apart,
and if I don't vanish at the right time,
the only place left is to plummet straight down.
[shouting]
I hope Criss is aware that if this motorcycle falls
from that height, he's dead.
Good evening, folks.
Thank you so very much for coming out for a demonstration
that has never, ever been attempted
outdoors under these powerful conditions.
I want you to check out 360 degrees
and see that there is absolutely nothing to hide.
This cage is exactly what it is.
You can see completely through it right there.
And come around.
I want you to see this is the bike that we'll be utilizing.
There are cameras everywhere to make sure you, the home viewer,
will be able to watch every moment as it unfolds.
We have nearly a thousand people here to watch it.
They're your eyes to assure you that everything you see
is exactly what you get.
I want you to see that this is really me.
This is not--
This is a demonstration that has never been attempted,
never been executed in any shape, way, form outside.
We're going to try to do it in front of nearly
a thousand people here.
I want to make note that we have another camera right over here
on my bike, along with many other angles,
to make sure you'll see the Mindfreak demonstration
as it unfolds moment by moment.
No [muted],, no switches, no doubles, no mirrors,
no threads except the crane.
Check it out.
[engine revving]
[cheering]
[engine revving]
[cheering]
I want you to see it's me right over here.
No [muted], all right?
Is it me?
All right.
I want you to check this out.
It's going to be [muted] crazy.
[engine revving]
[cheering, applause]
Has everything been fair up to this point?
[cheering]
CROWD: (CHANTING) Mindfreak.
Mindfreak.
Mindfreak. Mindfreak.
Mindfreak.
CRISS ANGEL: Woo!
CRISS ANGEL (VOICEOVER): My timing
has to be absolutely perfect.
I have to do the transposition at the exact same time
that the explosives will break open the cage, or the bike
and I will plummet to the earth.
CRISS ANGEL: Are you ready?
[cheering]
MAN: OK, Criss, are you ready?
CRISS ANGEL: Ready!
MAN: All right, here we go in three, two, one.
Go.
[explosion]
[cheering, applause]
[explosions]
[cheering, applause]
Yeah!
[cheering, applause]
CRISS ANGEL: Yeah!
Woo!
Yeah!
