Blind Walk
Criss, during his Mindfreak special, climbed a 200-ft water tower blinfolded. He has no net and no harness. The beams he walked on were 30-ft long and each foot was on a 2-inch part of the beam.

Submerged
Imagine being trapped underwater
in a 6' x 24'' x 30'' cell and on the 24th hour
your only air supply is cut off.
Now with your last breath
you must escape imminent death.

Submerged was one of Criss' tributes to Houdini. He was chained and locked inside a water tank for 24 hours with only a small breathing tube keeping him alive. The 24 hours didn't go as well as they expected, with the filter breaking and the water over heating, but Criss was determined to fulfill the vow he made before this stunt was done, "I vowed to the media, that I would not come out of this tank outside of two reasons. One, my own ability, two, in a body bag". But despite all the problems at the 24th hour the air tube was pulled from the tank, a curtain was pulled over the tank and in just about a minute Criss escaped successfully. He had broken the world record for underwater endurance.

The 33-year-old Long Island native thanked family, friends, the gathered crowd -- and his employer, World Wrestling Entertainment -- before passing out and vomiting as he was loaded onto an ambulance, which took him to St. Clare's Hospital in midtown.

Angel was still in the hospital Tuesday morning, suffering from dehydration. His publicist said he would remain there overnight, wrapped in insulation to keep his body temperature at a safe level.

Before he emerged from the phone-booth sized contraption of clear plastic and steel, Angel yanked out the air hose that allowed him to breathe. Then assistants pulled a black curtain over the 220-gallon chamber to block the view of television cameras and about 100 people gathered outside the window in which he was displayed.

Under cover, Angel apparently escaped from the shackles that bound his arms, legs and neck, before pulling himself from the watery chamber with a celebratory scream.

"Honestly, I ran into some problems last night," he said as assistants carried him out to wave to the crowd on the street. "It got too hot -- my jaw was fatigued. I thought I was going to pass out. I look like I'm about 90 years old."

Then he said to the TV cameras, "Come check out my show" -- a plug for his magic gig at The World, the WWE store where the stunt took place -- before passing out.

Angel's mother, Dimitra Sarantakos, gasped a sigh of relief when her son -- whose real name is Christopher Sarantakos -- climbed out of the chamber.

"It was a very hard, long night, but it was worth it," she said.

The New York City tap water in which the illusionist was submerged turned a milky color over the 24 hours from salt and other body fluids. Angel had fasted to cleanse his system of solid food, and urinated behind a curtain into a bag.

The crowd was unsure whether the ambulance ride was part of the stunt or for real.

"He looks dead -- white as a ghost," said spectator Alerick Campbell. "Like they say, don't try this at home."

Angel's creative director, Bruce Lumpkin, said afterward that the plan all along was to take Angel to the hospital.

"I was hoping he would be happy, energetic, ready to have a drink," Lumpkin said. "But he took a breath and the reality of his physical condition kicked in."

Hook Suspension
"Some people say the body is a slave to the mind, I believe this to be true, only when the mind cannot see freedom."-Criss

Suspension was to show mind over matter (when your mind, body and spirit work together to overcome anything). For this stunt Criss hung himself 8 feet off the ground on 8 eight-gauge fishhooks for just under 6 hours and broke the world record for hook suspension.

Magic in Milwaukee
This past January (2003), Criss became the spokesperson for Miller Lite beer and he did a straight jacket escape to unveil Miller Lite's new beer. Returning to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Houdini once performed this, Criss was hoisted 100-ft into the air over the Miller Brewing complex and, in record time, escaped from the straight jacket.

The Full Body Burn
Recently for Criss's Supernatural TV special he did a stunt in which he lit himself on fire. He trained for weeks before this and got a few burns in the process. In the end it all works out, he sets himself on fire, walks around for about 45 seconds, which is a record for longest time on fire, and then he was put out with fire extinguishers. When the CO2 cleared he was gone, his clothes were on the ground and he was one of the firemen that had put him out.
