History Series / CrissAngelBelieve

The series was produced to mark the five-year anniversary of Criss Angel's [[Theatre/CrissAngelBelieve Las Vegas stage show of the same name]], with Angel conducting activities on the Las Vegas strip and a personal warehouse. 11 episodes were planned for the first season, but the planned season finale "Trinity" was shelved after Criss required shoulder surgery following the Double Straightjacket stunt (and required the stage show to be placed on hiatus as well). Only 10 episodes aired, and the show magically disappeared without a second season.

The series was produced to mark the five-year anniversary of Criss Angel's [[Theatre/CrissAngelBelieve Las Vegas stage show of the same name.]] As such, it was set primarily in Las Vegas, primarily at his new secret warehouse base. 11 episodes were planned for the first season, but the planned season finale "Trinity" was shelved after Criss required shoulder surgery following the Double Straightjacket stunt, which in turn required him to temporarily place his main stage show on hiatus as well. Only 10 episodes aired, and the show magically disappeared without a second season.

* VivaLasVegas: Most of the series was set in Las Vegas, centered upon his residency at the Luxor and a personal warehouse in the city. Several episodes took place outside of Vegas, including the Double Straightjacket (which took place at New York City's Times Square) and "Ship Appearance" (Cabo San Lucas, Mexico).

* EnforcedPlug: ''[[OnceAnEpisode Every episode]]'' featured commercials at some point for its namesake Vegas show, and his FloatIt "anti-gravity" floating card.

A Creator/SpikeTV RealityShow following stage magician and illusionist Criss Angel, and a SpiritualSuccessor to his A&E series ''Series/CrissAngelMindfreak''. Much like ''Mindfreak'', each episode focused on the development and execution of a major illusion, along with smaller [[StreetPerformer street magic]] segments performed for members of the public (where he also demonstrated how the illusions worked).

!!Tropes:

* EnforcedPlug: ''[[OnceAnEpisode Every episode]]'' featured commercials at some point for its namesake Vegas show, and his [[NowBuyTheMerchandise FloatIt]] "anti-gravity" floating card.

* SpiritualSuccessor: It had many similarities with his Creator/AAndE series ''Series/CrissAngelMindfreak''.
* VivaLasVegas: As the show was built around his long-running Las Vegas residence, it made perfect sense that it would be set here (for the most part. The Double Straightjacket stunt took place in New York City instead).

A RealityShow, focusing on the exploits of stage magician and illusionist Criss Angel. If anything, it's pretty much a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Series/CrissAngelMindfreak'', [[ChannelHop except on]] Creator/SpikeTV. Much like ''Mindfreak'', it focused on the development and execution of his Major Illusion of the Day, along with smaller [[StreetPerformer street magic]] segments performed for members of the public--in a slight subversion, he actually explains how said illusions work.

* VivaLasVegas: As the show was built around his long-running Las Vegas residence, it made perfect sense that it would be set here.

A RealityShow, focusing on the exploits of stage magician and illusionist Criss Angel. A typical episode features the lead-up and preparation to the Major Illusion or Trick of the Episode, along with smaller illusions [[StreetPerformer performed on the street]] or similar--in a slight subversion, he actually explains how said illusions work. This time, much of the "fun" (if you can call it fun) occurs around Las Vegas, and ''especially'' at his new secret warehouse base.

If anything, ''Criss Angel: [=BeLIEve=]'' is pretty much ''Series/CrissAngelMindfreak'' doing a ChannelHop to Creator/SpikeTV in honor of the five-year anniversary of the stage show. It is unknown whether there is or will be a 2nd season anytime soon, as Criss required shoulder surgery following the Double Straightjacket stunt, which in turn required him to temporarily place his main stage show on hiatus in favor of ''Magicjam'', a new show featuring him and a variety of guest performers. The first season featured 10 episodes, but the planned season finale "The Trinity" was shelved, presumably as a result of the injury.

!!This series provides examples of:

* RussianRoulette: One episode featured a presentation homaging ''Film/LordOfIllusions'', where Criss was strapped to a platform with six swords hanging above him, and had to predict the order that a group of randomly selected audience members would drop the swords.
