CRISS ANGEL :: MAKING CARS VANISH AT BARRETT JACKSON
Criss Angel and his brother JD have decided to divest themselves of some of the more than 100 cars that they own between them. According to SpeedTV.com:
Master magician Criss Angel plans to make seven cars and motorcycles disappear at the Barrett-Jackson collector-car auction in Las Vegas. Well, not disappear in his usual manner (Poof! in a cloud of smoke) but sold to the highest bidders and gone from his car collection.
"Each of these vehicles is a star in its own right," said JD, who was speaking for the collection since his younger brother, Criss, was on vacation of Mexico during a rare week off from performing. "The key is that each vehicle has appeared on Mindfreak multiple media specials and TV shows, car shows and displays at the casinos"
The official car for season three of Mindfreak was this custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coupe (Lot 652.2) which has been driven less than 100 miles since its complete restoration. As well as appearing on Angel’s show, the Camaro made many other appearances, including a stint on Larry King Live and MTV’s Cribs. The car has received a unique ghost-flame paint scheme with Angel’s signature skeleton images airbrushed in. The restored interior features another killer audio system from Kenwood, including V2 subwoofer and midrange amps. The bucket seats are adorned with the official Criss Angel autograph.
JD said that each winning bidder will receive special TV footage, publicity material and other extras along with their vehicle. There will also be “a special bonus to be announced for the winning bidders,” he added.
