No! Illusionist Criss Angel is Hospitalized After Stunt Goes Terribly Wrong

Illusionist Criss Angel is packing them in at his Las Vegas show Mindfreak Live!, but just a few minutes after it started last night, he became unconscious in mid-air while performing a double-straitjacket act upside down.

According to TMZ guests at the performance said producers halted the show, which is housed at the Luxor hotel, and the 49-year old illusionist was taken to the emergency room at a nearby hospital where he was discharged a few hours later.This wouldn’t be the first time Criss had an accident. Back in 2013, he suffered a shoulder injury while performing a similar stunt in New York City, which prompted his show Believe to go on a 10-week hiatus. That stunt also involved a straitjacket.

The show must go on though, right?

According to a Las Vegas Review Journal reporter, it was confirmed that the show is set to go back up tonight — hopefully they worked out the kinks.

All audiences were given full refunds who attended on Friday.
