Valerie & Casey Meet Criss Angel

.

Dear Fans,

How are we all doing? Good I hope :-)

I had the very wonderful pleasure of meeting Criss Angel on 9/15/06. For those of you who do not know who Criss Angel is, he is a very unbelievable magician who has his own TV series called "Mind Freak" on A&E.

When I first saw Criss I was going nut's trying to figure out some of the unbelievable magical tricks he does, I was left moonstruck and until this very moment I STILL don't know how he performs all of the things he does. 

This is me and Criss (Look how short I am compared to him, geez)

He goes above and beyond to please his audiences and always aim's to be and give the best.     

After being shown the TV series, I became obsessed with the show and made sure I was here every Wednesday night to watch it. Time went by and I started taping them every week and re watching them over again. As you can tell, I became a very big fan very quickly.

My best friend (Whom is like a sister to me, I consider her  a sister) Casey was the one that started this insane obsession for me.

When she found out that Criss had come out with a solo CD honoring his show and would be signing cd's in New York City, we knew we had to attend. It was a wonderful day despite the terrible weather and redicuessly long lines we had to wait on to meet him. I honestly can say that I did have a great time.

This is Me (far left) JD (Criss's Brother), and Casey (Far right)

Criss is just an unbelievable person and I was so flattered to have actually spoken to him and met him.   However, I would just like to acknowledge that I love Michael, and that Michael is that one for me....and that I only went to see Criss because I admire his work and think he is outstanding.....

If I had to whip up the perfect man, he would not even come close to Michael. I belong to Michael and I have no intension's of leaving Michael. The only reason why I am mentioning this is because when I had shared my experiences with other Michael Jackson fans, some fans took it the wrong way and held it against me. I do not want to be labeled as the Criss Angel freak, I do however want to be labeled as the Michael Jackson freak. LoL.

Yes, I did get THAT close to J.D.

I feel that Criss is amazing but my heart belongs to Michael, now forever and for always.     I honestly believe that Criss Angel will be a very successful young man if he just keeps on continuing to be the lovely him that he is. He is an outstanding magician and would never take anything that he does for granted. He's by far the best magician I have ever seen in my entire lifetime.

This was J.D talking to some of the fans and thanking them for waiting so long to see Criss.

For those who have never seen Criss himself or any of his show's, I strongly recommend the following links just to INTRODUCE you to the world of Criss Angel...please view these tricks carefully, and you will easily see that what you see is what you get, and Criss does not hide anything while doing his magic.
