I love my Criss Angel. He’s a mentalist, magician and illusionist. He’s also a musician with a great set of abs. Okay! I’ll stop gushing now.
I love my Criss Angel. He’s a mentalist, magician and illusionist. He’s also a musician with a great set of abs. Okay! I’ll stop gushing now. Criss Angel’s “Mindfreak” has made its way onto A&E as a reality TV series with a few changes. Criss has revamped his vampire, Gothic look in favor for a feathered hair do and some nice rock and leather duds. He’s totally fabulous either way. In the series, which I watch religiously, Houdini’s heir apparent recently earned a Dodge Viper by practicing the ancient art of Hellstromism.
What the you-know-what do Hellstromism and the Dodge Viper have in common? Nothing, really. They’re both cool; but, that’s about it. Hellstromism is an ancient technique that uses the mind to help the muscles reproduce a certain physical response. In an episode that first aired on August 17 on A&E, Criss Angel demonstrated Hellstromism at a Las Vegas Dodge dealership. He walked around for a half hour with the manager of said dealership. The dude had hidden some keys to a Dodge Viper into one of the cars on the lot.
Criss was blindfolded. He had to determine just by holding onto the guy’s right arm – and his muscle responses, where he hid the keys. Sounds insane? Maybe? Good entertainment? Most definitely. With only a few minutes to spare, Criss found the keys in one of the SUVs on the lot. He amazed and astounded everyone on the lot and TV audiences across the nation. He also earned the Dodge Viper for himself. IF he had been unable to locate the keys, he would’ve had to give the dealership $100,000.
Recently, his commercials for the car have been airing on A&E TV during reruns of his series. This got me to thinking more and more about the Dodge Viper. Although it appears that Criss received a 2005 version because he has a black car; the 2006 is only available (for now) in blue with a white-racing stripe down the middle, I want to talk about the 2006 SRT10 Coupe, okay?
The 2006 version of the car is now available. It’s totally awesome. The Viper’s MSRP is over $80,000 new. It’s a 2-seat, performance/sports car. New for 2006, the classic Viper revisits its coupe-shape. It now comes in a convertible with manual-folding top. The engine has 500-hp and 8.3-liter V10. The transmission is a 6-speed manual. Some standard features include:
The steering is well-weighted. The car has a good low center of gravity which makes it easy to control and manipulate. The suspension is good and the anti-locking brake system will help you navigate and control just about anything the road can dish out.
The car is, of course, an emotional favorite. The SRT10 2006 draws heavily from the past in response to consumer demands relating to the 2003 version of the popular car.
The Viper 2006 is a shining example of a good American-made and performance car.
But, don’t take my word for it! Test drive it yourself at a local dealership. It’ll bring you back to a simpler, car-loving, carefree time of your life. I’ll guarantee. You’ll love this car.

I was wondering the same thing.

Um…I don’t know why I have a picute of a Vette. I guess I just spaced out. When you stare at a screen all day, sometimes the pictures blend together and form cars I was thinking about put up. Gotta start drinking more coffee.

On the Dodge Viper show, Criss Angel asked that if he had fans that wanted him to win him a car to email him. I don’t want anything fancy, but I live on a fixed income and could really use a fuel efficient car that seats 5 people comfortably. Maybe a hybrid or one of those hydroelectric vehicles. Please forward this to Criss Angel or let me know how to email him. Thanx for everything. By the way, my birthday is December 31st.

my name is john green and i recently seen criss angel win a dodge viper. i am a disabled viet-nam vet and last year at this time i was robbed and beat up. this resulted in an injury to my right knee cap. last november i became homeless and my knee became very infected. being homeless was the worst experience of my life. on dec. 3,2005 i came to the va hosptal emergency room.i was admitted and told that i might lose my leg because the infection was in my knee cap. after 3 operations the doctors saved my leg. now for the reason i am writing. i dont ever want to be homeless again. i was wondering if criss angle would try to win me a 40 foot 5th wheel travel trailer w/a slideout, or a park model trailer w/slide outs. i am still at the V.A. hospital in Tucson, AZ. if all goes well i hope to be released in about a month. thank you very much. Sincerly, John Green

My name is James. I watch Criss Angel all the time. Matter of fact i actually attempted to walk up a wall but failed. I heard about the win a car and I would love to, because my mom is a single parent and she has to pay the bills here,and she works 10-12hours a day 6 days a week and i dont want her to pay for my first car and she has to for my sister rent and her baby(because she is a teen just moving in a house). I have $500 saved up so far for my first car and ive been saving for a while. I know its not much but I hope i would be able to win a car so I could actually get somewhere. I could careless what it is or even if its nice. I just hope to get one that will be able to get me to point A and B. Does any1 know where i could send this at because I would love to have a car espeacially if it was from Criss Angel, I would prolly faint! Thanks A lot
Sincerely,
James

I seen the criss angal show where he won that viper and he told his fans that he will try to win them a car and my family need a car bad. They have two cars but one haves to be junked and the other car is brakeing down like 2,3, times a month and we dont have money to fix or buy a car and if they dont have a car they cant go to work and we will have to move but if they can get a car we will stay in this house. We need this car so my family can stop talking about us moving. my family would like to stay in wisconsin so please do this for my family.

Hello my name is Becky. Two years ago I had a random, out-of-nowhere seasure,and i went to the hospital and they told me i had to wait a whole year until I could start driving again. So the year went by and i was so excited to drive again. (I didnt have a car so i drove my mom’s) I drove for about 2 1/2 monthes until I had another seasure. The first thin i thought was, “Oh no, I cant drive for a whole nother year!” I was upset because I love to drive. Now it’s been 8 monthes and I will be able to drive again in November. I saw Criss Angel’s show with him winning a car and he said he can win some for some of his fans. I would absolutely love my own car! I dont mind what kind, just a car that works, please.

Hi Criss, I’m Meagan, I’m a huge fan of you and your show(s) and I love you alot and also very amazed at what you can do! But the reason I’m writing to you is because I heard on your show when you won a viper that you said that if I write that maybe you could get me/us a car… Well my family needs a car bad because our car that we had has broken down, we have one now but its not that fancy. My parents have split up and I live with my dad and we are really poor, right now we are renting a house and sometimes we can’t even pay our bills, we had a couple of things turned off but I’m not going to mention it. My dream is to meet you, and if i can get an autograph or even a hug (smile) or something. I hope you read this and if you do get us a car it doesn’t really matter what kind, I would mostly appreciate it. I’m 14 but turning 15 this year (2006), only if you were curious, I have watched almost every show of yours. I have had a hard life. I even heard that your coming to Canada, thats great. I live in Canada, British Columbia. Myabe if I do meet you that maybe you could teach me some amazing skills of yours, well keep it up. Love ya!

Chris I like your show and watch it all the time. I’ve even done a few things you have done. I seen the episode where you said you would win a car for someone and we would have to give you a good reason. We’ll here’s my reason for you- I live in a house full with 6 people and 3 of us have jobs and 2 go to school. Our only car is a van which drives us to work and school 6 day’s a week and I would love to have a nice car of any type (gifts are special so noone should be picky.). I thank you very much for giving people a chance even me, even though our chances are slim on winning.
Thanks, Anthony k.

Criss My name is Brenda. My husband and I are big fans we often wonder how you do alot of your things. I saw you win that car and thought it was so cool. I wish you could do that for me. My husband is an over the road truck driver and he got laid off because his hip is bad and his knee has gone out on him 3 times in the last month. We lost our car since we have noway of making the payments. Now I’m making a 2 mile round trip walk just to go to the store.It’s really bad when I have to take one of the babies just so I have something to put the groceries in. If you can help it would be greatly appericiated.
Sincerely Brenda

Hey Criss,
I’ve been watching your shows recently and I really like your tricks. Some I swear you need real magic. Anyways like some other people heard you said you would try to win someone a car if we had a good reason. Well off the bat my car has over 24 things wrong with from the tires up. The other thing is at the begining of that episode I heard viper and I thought to my self oh he better not make that car dissapear, because that car I has been my dream car since day one. As I learned I was wrong you were able to win it. Which sucked even more to just sit there while you win my dream car… even tough the 100,000 could have covered the cost you risked it for magic. I wish I had your powers to win that car more or less you win the car for me…. So please win me a car. Justin P.S. Hope you keep up the awesome tricks..

My dad is in love with Harley Davidsons. and he had one stolen last year. Right after that he got in a boatin accident. They are trying to take both of his Harleys away from him because of loans and he just recently lost his job so he cant pay for the loans any more. And he is gettin sewed by one of the ladies sons that was in the boating accident with him, and she didnt see her son in eight years. and he is only doing it for the money. I think Harley Davidson would be glad to help some one that is so dedicated to hs bikes. So i was wondering if you could help my dad out and do it with a Harley Davidson instead of a car. I think he deserves it more than anyone with all of the things he has went through with his harleys in the last couple years. And that way he can say that he owns it an he will not have to worry about anyone taking that one away. I would love for this to happen an surprise him because he knows nothing about this. I saw you and i think what u do is amazing so please help my dad out. thank you.

I REALLY DIDNT GET TO KNOW MY DAD LIKE I WOULD HAVE WANTED TOO BUT WHAT I DID KNOW OF HIM HE WAS A AWESOME PERSON EXCEPT FOR THE ALCHOLISIM HE SUFFERED FROM SINCE BEING IN VEITNAM IN THE MARINES.

MY GRANDMA HAS LOTS OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND IS IN HER 80′S NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE UP NEAR SEATTLE WASHINGTON WEAR SHE LIVES SO I MAY GET TO KNOW MY GRANDMOTHER BEFORE SHE LEAVES THIS LIFE LIKE MY DAD DID WHOM I DIDNT REALLY KNOW. I WATCH YOUR SHOW ALOT AND AM A HUGE FAN, WE HAVE ALOT IN COMMON WHEN IT COMES TO OUR DADS. BUT THE THING THAT IS HOLDING MY MOM AND ME FROM MAKING THE MOVE IS OUR VEHICLE AND OUR FINANCES. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE COULD YOU HELP OUT SO WE COULD MOVE TO WASHINGTON STATE. WE WANTED TO COME AND SEE YOU IN THE LUXOR BUT CANNOT EVER SEEM TO MAKE IT. YOU WOULD BE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS IF YOU COULD HELP US OUT IN THIS REQUEST AND WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU IN PERSON IN THE FUTURE. WE DO NOT HAVE A COMPUTER AT HOME SO IF YOU COULD WRITE ME BACK AND MAIL IT TO ROBBIE INGERSOLL AT 17 CR 6310 KIRTLAND, NEW MEXICO 87417 MY CELL PHONE NUMBER IS 505-516-5709 I WILL HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU VERY SOON.
