Who is Criss Angel?

I just watched Criss Angel – Mind Freak on the tele.

Criss Angel is a damn freak,
and I love his style of magic.

Very Dark, Heavy, Gore, Musical and Powerful.

One of the most powerful tricks was with the little kids playing in a puddle of water.
Criss and the kids are splashing water at each other. Than Criss Jumps to do a big splash
and vanishes through the water. All the little kids are in shock and bewilderment.
The kids search the puddle and nothing can be found. Than Criss appears up ontop
of a building only within 10 seconds of disappearing.
