Magician Criss Angel’s Amazing Rescue Caught On Video: Must See! [Watch]


Criss Angel, the master magician who wows audiences worldwide with his amazing tricks, has proved he’s not just fast with his hands, but he’s a fast thinker, too. In a stunt gone wrong, Criss saved a fellow escape artist who nearly drowned while rehearsing a stunt in an amazing rescue.

The dramatic scene happened at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Criss was able to rescue the drowning man, and it was all caught on video by an onlooker.

Performer Spencer Horsman was rehearsing a stunt that’s planned to be in Angel’s new show The Supernaturalist, reports the Examiner. Spencer was hiked up about 30 feet in the air, while shackled, and then placed into a large tank of water. The artist was supposed to escape on his own, but somehow things went wrong, and he passed out inside the tank and was unable to free himself.

Angel, who was watching the rehearsal, jumped in and saved his fellow magician’s life. In the amazing rescue, which was caught on video by an onlooker who grabbed a mobile phone, you can see Angel jump to the rescue, climbing the chains as fast as possible while the tank is lowered so Criss can save the man’s life.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, onlookers were shouting and screaming as Criss jumps onto the tank as it’s being lowered to pull his friend to safety. Angel was able to rescue his fellow performer from drowning.

Sources told the Examiner that Horsman is okay and recovering now, although the event has caused Criss Angel’s show to be delayed by a day.

“In an effort to ensure the safety of the cast and crew, we will be moving the opening night of Supernaturalists to June 26th,” read a statement, reports Star Pulse.

The Supernaturalists is a show started by Criss Angel, featuring some of the top magicians and escape artists in the world. Angel has described the show as “revolutionary,” according to Star Pulse.

“While there are other ensemble shows out there, performing many of the same illusions that have been around for years, my goal is to redefine magic touring like Cirque du Soleil did for the circus. I’ve scoured the globe for the very best performers, each in their respected disciplines, and our lineup is truly historic. Our illusions are not only original, but revolutionary,” Criss said about the show.

It will certainly be even more revolutionary after Criss Angel’s dramatic rescue.
