Early life

East Meadow, Long Island, New York, with two brothers, Costa and J.D.
His father owned a restaurant and doughnut shop and was devoted to personal fitness before dying of cancer in 1998.
[Criss Angel biography, ''Las Vegas Sun'', Accessed November 20, 2009. Angel was first introduced to magic at age 7, after his Aunt Stella taught him a card trick. His interest grew and by the time he graduated from East Meadow High School, he was not interested in attending university. He aimed at becoming a professional magician.
]''Criss Angel Mindfreak''
Criss Angel is the star and creator of the A&E Network show ''Criss Angel Mindfreak''. Seasons 1 and 2 were filmed at The Aladdin in Las Vegas, with Season 3 at the Luxor Las Vegas. Premiering on July 20, 2005, the illusions have included walking on water, levitating above the Luxor Hotel (in the light of 39 focused lamps that can be seen from space
The show was criticized for relying on camera tricks, editing, and stooges to perform tricks that could not really be performed in front of a live audience.
''Criss Angel Believe''
Criss Angel collaborated with Cirque du Soleil to create ''Criss Angel Believe'', a live show at the Luxor Las Vegas hotel in Las Vegas, which stars Criss Angel, who is billed as "co-writer, illusions creator and designer, original concept creator and star."
Angel originally tried to develop the show for a Broadway run, as well as other casinos. Eventually, what became ''Believe'' came together when he entered a partnership with Cirque du Soleil and the Luxor's parent company, MGM Mirage, financed the show with $100 million.
After several delays, the show was set for a Gala opening on October 31, 2008, with preview shows in late September.
In April 2009, Angel ended a performance of ''Believe'' by "hurling obscene insults" at Perez Hilton, who was an audience member. Hilton reportedly had Tweeted to his fans during the performance that the show was "unbelievably BAD" and that he'd "rather be getting a root canal", and word had gotten back to Angel by the end of the performance.
''Phenomenon''
Starting in October 2007 he appeared as a judge on ''Phenomenon'', with Uri Geller and in a CNN interview about the show he told Larry King "no one has the ability, that I'm aware of, to do anything supernatural, psychic, talk to the dead. And that was what I said I was going to do with ''Phenomenon''. If somebody goes on that show and claims to have supernatural psychic ability, I'm going to bust [him] live and on television."
On the October 31, 2007 episode of the reality show ''Phenomenon'', Paranormalist Jim Callahan performed a summoning, purportedly of author Raymond Hill, to help discover the contents of a locked box.
Although fellow judge Uri Geller praised the performance, Angel called it "comical" and subsequently challenged both Callahan and Geller to guess the contents of two envelopes he pulled out of his pocket, offering a million dollars of his own money to whoever could do so. This led to an argument between Callahan and Angel, during which Callahan walked toward Angel and called him an "ideological bigot", with the two pulled apart as the show promptly went to a commercial break. Angel has since revealed the contents of one envelope and at the unveiling he challenged Geller one more time. Geller responded, "Although we were born one day apart - I was born on the 20th of December and you on the 19th - a lot of years between us - 40 years, you were one year old when I came out with my spoon bending..." Criss Angel cut him off at this point, saying, "I guess this is a 'no,'" and proceeded to open the envelope. The envelope contained an index card with the numbers "911" printed on it for September 11, 2001. Criss' explanation was this: "If on 9-10 somebody could have predicted that 9-11 was going to happen, they could have saved thousands of lives". Some Geller supporters point out Geller did mention the numbers one and 19 and count it as a success since he did get the digits right. Geller in fact mentioned five digits in his speech (0, 1, 2, 4, 9) as well as the month of December. The other envelope's contents was scheduled to be revealed on the first episode of Season 4 of ''Criss Angel: Mindfreak''. However, the contents of the other envelope were never revealed and remain a mystery to this day.
Personal life
In 2002, Angel married his longtime girlfriend JoAnn Winkhart (now JoAnn Sarantakos). The couple filed for divorce four years later.
In November 2008, Angel began dating Hugh Hefner's former girlfriend Holly Madison.
