Criss Angel Plans Live Stunt at Clearwater Beach Hotel

Make sure you tune in to the A&E cable network on Wednesday night as they broadcast live Criss Angel’s escape from Clearwater Beach’s Spyglass Resort, minutes before the building implodes. It’s the first time Angel’s show, Mindfreak, will be broadcast live.

Angel is calling this stunt his “biggest and baddest” escape. He will start out by getting out of handcuffs on the sixth floor of the Spyglass Resort, get out through a series of locked doors and on to the roof where he will leave in a helicopter. Right after that, the nine-story building will implode.

How will he do it? Angel says, “Some of it’s real, some of it’s an illusion and I try to blur the line between both…”

Angel says this is his third trip to the Clearwater area and that in the past he has visited Clearwater and Tarpon Spring. Since he is Greek, he was particularly fond of Tarpon Springs and its huge Greek community. He says he hopes he can find time to stop there again when he is in town for his stunt, since he will be in town until Thursday evening.

Criss also commented, “…once I do this and God-willing I’m successful I vowed to my mother that I will not be doing things of this nature. I’ll still be doing television and my show where there’s a lot of dangerous things. But I won’t do things like this.”
