Do you Believe
This is a once in a lifetime event. The combination of two of the best visually stimulating performances of our time, Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil, live on stage at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
If you don’t believe me... you can believe for yourself!
CRISS ANGEL Believe will be a haunting exploration deep inside the inventive mind of mystifier Criss Angel as he hovers between the land of the living and a surreal world uniquely woven together by the distinctive imaginations of Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil. Unlike traditional magic-themed shows, CRISS ANGEL Believe™ transcends any preconceived notion of what it means to be truly emotionally engaged by the arts of mysticism and illusion. Imagine a fantasy, an allegory, a highly theatrical tableau of mood, reverie and emotion set against a backdrop of dreamlike darkness and light.
Criss Angel stars as a surreal, enigmatic Victorian Noble. Along a path of imaginative exploration, he encounters Kayala and Crimson, two women who represent different aspects of femininity, four bizarre Ushers, who will introduce the audience to the baroque theater of Criss’s mind and a high-energy troupe of characters and dancers who mix a multitude of styles into a high-energy visual feast, punctuated by moments of grace and sensuality.
The stunning illusions in CRISS ANGEL Believe™ will not be presented as standalone elements, but as interdependent components using heightened imagery, fantastical creatures and impossible feats of legerdemain, all of which will be integrated into the dazzling, colorful fabric of the story.

Criss Angel & Cirque du Soleil
Serge Denoncourt co-writes and Directs Believe, you might remember him from Solstrom, the Cirque du Soleil TV series, he is the acting coach. Reports say that Serge has worked to creat a sense of nobility again in magic. With CRISS ANGEL Believe Serge has sought to return a sense of nobility to magic. “I don’t like magic shows in general,” he says. “They lack emotion and any sense of a storyline. I took on CRISS ANGEL Believe from the position of one who doesn’t like those kinds of shows because they treat magic as an end in itself. My aim here is to take magic – and Cirque du Soleil – in a completely different direction.”

Advanced ticket sales are available to at this time, but only to the Loyal Freaks and the Ultimate Loyal Freaks.
Preview performance start on September 1 – September 11, 2008. These preview performances appear to be the beta-testing of the stage show world; the artistic team for the show actually reserves the right to interrupt the performance to make adjustments. But the show info states “audience’s reaction and participation is an important step in this process.” I remember dress rehearsal for ballet recitals, preview performances could be interesting!
Believe will be performed twice a night every Friday through Tuesday, no shows Wednesday and Thursday. Ticket Prices for the Loyal start at $59 - $150 (+tax).
For the added bonus, the first 100 Loyal Freaks or Ultimate Freaks to purchase tickets through CrissAngel.com for Sept. 14, Oct. 7, Oct. 17, Nov. 24 and Dec. 6 will have the chance to meet Criss after the show! Read the rules for more details!!!!
