Criss Angel's Las Vegas show came to an abrupt halt after the magician reportedly passed out during one of his acts.
The
incident occurred Friday night during Angel's Mindfreak Live! show at
the Luxor hotel and one concerned audience member took to Facebook to
document what happened.
"What
an awful experience!" Peter Sehl posted to the official Mindfreak
Facebook page. "10 mins into the show, Criss Angel was doing his upside
down straitjacket stunt and was almost out after spinning for 2 mins and
then they let him down. He stopped moving, curtain down. Break for 15
mins. Now show cancelled. Hope he is ok!! Didn't appreciated peoples
comments as they were leaving."
According to TMZ,
Angel was rushed to the ER at Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center and
was discharged later that night, sometime before 10 p.m.
Reps for Angel and MGM Resorts, home of the Luxor, could not be reached by THR.
The
stunt requires the famous illusionist to hang upside down while buckled
into a double-straitjacketed harness. He suffered a shoulder injury
when performing a similar routine in New York City's Times Square in
2013, forcing a 10-week hiatus of his show Believe.
Several
others at the show also took to social media. One audience member
posted that Luxor was giving full refunds after Angel lost consciousness
mid-air.
As of Saturday morning, tickets for the night's 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. shows were still on sale.
