MTV VMA Inside Scoop with Criss Angel

Hey guys, we're here with Chris Angel, magician, you have your show.

an 83-year-old uh magician, 83 years old. I don't know why I'm doing this show. It says young Hollywood. I'm really old Hollywood. Actually really old Las Vegas, but it's all cool.

But it's it's all about an attitude, not an age. So we think you have that attitude, Chris.

Thank you.

Now tell us what you have going on as far as the VMAs, what do you have going on?

Absolutely nothing.

No, you're just here to be here.

Absolutely nothing. I live here. I live here, so I figured I'd take advantage of MTV and the festivities and party and uh get to meet really wonderful people, artistic people, people I'm fans of and kind of take it all in and uh enjoy every moment.

So is there anybody in particular that you're excited to see perform at the VMAs?

I I'm excited to see everybody, but I'm probably going to check out the VMAs from my room. I'm probably going to chill out and watch it because I find watching those shows actually on television is uh an experience that you can see everything a lot better than being there. For me at least, you know.

So we hear that you had a little bit to do with uh Britney's performance, her opening act. Tell us what you did.

A little bit? I don't even know if it's considered to be a little bit. I look, Britney's a wonderful, talented young lady. Uh I was asked by her management, which is my management, to come in and discuss some possible uh concepts and uh and I just kind of just gave my professional advice and expertise. And I don't know if she's using it or not using it and to what extent, but it's going to be really interesting and I have all the faith in the world in her.

What's the most outrageous magic that you can do for us, Chris?

Watch, ready? I'm going to disappear. Ready and edit the camera now, cuz that's how I do my entire show.
