Magic’s biggest star hosts a Halloween extravaganza, filled with tricks and treats--and mystifyer Criss Angel’s freakiest feat yet! The Mindfreak himself descends upon Hollywood’s famous Magic Castle and his hometown in New York to deliver the most cutting-edge and death-defying demonstrations in magic today. Criss crashes Joaquin Ayala’s performance when he literally jumps into the body of the unsuspecting magician in the never-before-seen "Matrix" effect before hitting amazed audiences with mysticism and mentalism from the Magic Castle stage. Before Halloween ends, Criss will be shackled, handcuffed, and nailed into a pine casket en route to an industrial BioChipper as friends, fans, and family look on in horror. Lock the doors... turn on the lights... and prepare to experience Halloween... Criss Angel style. DVD Features: Two New-to-DVD "Best-Of" Episodes "Uncut" and "Up Close" from Mindfreak Season One; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

Magician-illusionist Criss Angel celebrates Halloween and honors the 79th anniversary of Harry Houdini's passing with a series of nifty tricks capped by a spectacular (and potentially grisly) escape from a hungry woodchipper. Among Angel's crowd-pleasers is his extraordinary leap into the belly of a fellow illusionist (Angel dives into the guy at the latter’s navel level, disappearing completely); the swallowing of five long needles, which he then pulls from his belly; and an old-fashioned mentalist act out on the streets of Long Island. There's also a visit to Angel's friends, metal band Korn (where the performer yanks thread from his eyeball), and a nostalgic visit to the magic shop that inspired him as a boy. After paying respects at Houdini's grave, Angel gets locked and handcuffed inside a wooden box and placed on the conveyor belt feeding the chipper's rotating blades of steel. The result could be a wonder, or it could be a bloody mess—either way, one's pulse quickens. --Tom Keogh
