Summary: 5 Stars
When reading this book, you can hear Criss saying the words you are reading. It's like he's talking directly to you. He's so real and down to earth. He had such big dreams and high hopes for his art and never stopped striving to be the best he could be and he tells you about it in this book. I recommend anyone to read this book, even if you're not a Criss Angel fan. He tells a life lesson, which can be applied to anyone. I highly recommend this book!Book Review: He's A Magic Man
Summary: 5 Stars
I pre-ordered this book on Amazon about a month ago and I just got it. Is it a good book? Well, put it this way, I finished it in one evening. I really liked the way it was written. Easy going. Open. Honest. Just like Criss. If one were to see Criss Angel on the street without knowing anything about him, one might see a Goth, or a rocker, or some other stereotype, but just like his magic, he goes beyond the appearances and reveals something more.
What I got from this book is that Criss Angel is one focused individual. He had a dream and he followed through on it no matter what it took. How many of us can say that? We have these dreams and then we give up on them as soon as there is struggle. I'm not saying to seek out struggle, but if struggle does come, work with it. In fact, put it out of your mind and just see the end result of your dream and keep doing everything in your power to bring that dream to pass, and eventually it will.
Criss Angel is so down to earth. It is so obvious that he loves his family, his friends', and what he does for a living. I guess that's part of his magic. I thought he was going to be this very complicated, misunderstood individual but he's actually quite simple...almost childlike...which also accounts for his ability to astound his audiences. He still has wonder, a passion for the mysterious, he still seeks joy in the unknown. Most of us learn to curb our enthusiasm, take things at face value, and stop being curious about life and then we wonder why our lives are so mediocre.
I doubt that I will do any of the magic tricks that he includes in section II of this book because I primarily got it for the biography. To me, the "real magic" Chriss performs is how he has learned to fully integrate his body, mind, and spirit into one collective whole and if one piece of the trinity is missing, his magic will not come together. This is the Greek ideal and oddly enough, Chriss is Greek, but it is a great example of why all of us need to incorporate all three aspects of being human into our daily lives. Most of us just think that we're a physical being; a body. A few of us use our minds and ocassionally some of us will access the soul or the spirit, but very few of us incorporate all three aspects into one cohesive whole and yet when we do, magic is bound to happen in our lives.
So am I recommending this book? Heck yeah. Criss is definitely a blessed angel who has help me to regain a deeper sense of wonder and excitement for life. The possibilities of life are endless...tap into them!
Peace and Blessings,
