Criss Angel's Magic with the Stars - Season 1

In the debut episode, Corbin Bleu and Miles Brown defy the laws of gravity as they attempt one of Criss's most iconic illusions that took over 20 years to create... "The Greatest Levitation of All Time".

In this week's exciting grand illusion, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Omarion face off performing "The Amystika Chair," a one-of-a-kind vanish-and-reappearance that happens in a split second.

U.S. Olympian Lolo Jones and television star Frankie Muniz join host Eddie Griffin to perform in front of judges Criss Angel, Loni Love and Lance Burton. In the grand illusion portion of the show, they will be challenged to perform, and successfully execute, one of Criss' greatest demonstrations - "The Metamorphosis." Criss has performed the fastest version to date (since the days of Houdini), and now Lolo and Frankie will be put to the test. Will they succeed, or will they break under pressure?

Grammy-nominated R&B artists Ginuwine and 98 Degrees founding member Jeff Timmons raise the ante as they learn Criss's death-defying performance of "Submerged" - an escape inspired by Harry Houdini. Each star must escape from a transparent glass cube filled with over 100 gallons of water while spinning and suspended mid-air. This is one of the most dangerous escapes of all time! Would you bet your life on one breath?

 

Old friends reunite for this week's grand illusion when NFL Pro Bowl player Vernon Davis and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Flavor Flav go head-to-head to see who is the better escape artist. Eddie Griffin hosts the competition as Criss Angel, Loni Love and Lance Burton judge the two contestants in a race of speed, agility, and focus.

Loaded with as much humor as magic, comedy stars Michael Ian Black and Matt Walsh learn and perform the grand illusion known as "Easy Rider." Watch these two legendary entertainers bring their comedic chops as they attempt to do the impossible - conjure a real chopper motorcycle out of thin air in a split second.

 

In front of a packed house of more than 1,500 fans, music icons Donny and Debbie will have to wow the crowd with their grand illusion, "Enigma." The performance will be a montage of vanishing and transformation illusions, reaching a crescendo as each of them must ultimately vanish and then reappear in the audience in less than a second - and in plain sight! Constructed to overwhelm the senses, this is truly an Enigma!

 

UFC takes the stage as legends Randy Couture and Frank Mir use their physical prowess to make a video game come to life, with an epic ending that transforms magic in an unexpected twist!

 

Join host Eddie Griffin and judges Criss Angel, Loni Love and Lance Burton for the escape which brought Houdini worldwide acclaim and inspired Criss's version that left him hospitalized, almost ending his career. Gold medalist Tara Lipinski has a paralyzing fear of heights, while Johnny Weir is terrified of being restrained - forcing both to face their fears! The Olympic figure skaters, whose friendship extends beyond the rink, must put that aside and undertake this petrifying escape, the Upside-Down Straight Jacket.

The grand illusion for Real Housewife Cynthia and Stargirl's Brec challenges both women to attempt the impossible - the most provocative, shocking, and mind-blowing "sawing a lady in half" in history! With no boxes, cloths, or covers, this demonstration truly blurs the line between reality and illusion... this is, "In Two." Guest starring Terry Fator and his entourage of puppets, who creates havoc and laughs as both competitors bring them to life when they take over the Amystika stage.
