Las Vegas demands the occasional implosion, and it appears we’re looking at one with “Amystika,” an alleged new show from Criss Angel and former Cirque savant Franco Dragone.<\/p>\n

Rumblings about “Amystika” started when seating charts on Ticketmaster showed virtually no tickets sold to the production that was supposed to debut on March 11, 2022.<\/p>\n

Actually, previews were originally supposed to happen starting Dec. 27, 2021, but let’s not get bogged down with details.<\/p>\n

Shh, but the future isn’t looking too bright for “Amystika.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First, we saw Wednesday and Thursday performances were being canceled in March.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, those “canceled” boxes are the same color as the flags being raised about “Amystika.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ticket holders are now being informed all the scheduled performances in March have been canceled.<\/p>\n

One ticket holder received this message: “Please be advised that ‘Amystika: The Mindfreak Prequel’ has canceled all performances for March 11, 2022 through April 1, 2022. We do apologize for any inconvenience. Cancelations or show changes are beyond our control.”<\/p>\n

Our schadenfreude muscle is getting a workout today!<\/p>\n

We’ll pause here for a moment to give Criss Angel a moment to look up “schadenfreude.”<\/p>\n

Local writer Sam Novak, prior to the performance cancellations, reported demand was so poor for “Amystika,” the show was giving tickets away<\/a> just to fill seats.<\/p>\n

So, what’s the problem?<\/p>\n

First, Criss Angel is involved.<\/p>\n

\"Criss
We give Criss Angel a lot of crap, but it’s not our fault. He makes it so easy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That said, Angel has a lot of fans, and “Amystika” is a way to try and leverage the brand.<\/p>\n

The biggest problem is probably the terrible name of the show.<\/p>\n

The second biggest problem is it’s unclear if Criss Angel actually appears in the show. Try and spot him anywhere in this promotional video for “Amystika.”<\/p>\n
