Fresh off the closure of his Planet Hollywood show, “Amystika,” Strip magician Criss Angel is making news for his TV series, too.<\/p>\n

“Criss Angel’s Magic with the Stars” on The CW, which we assume is a cable network of some sort, has garnered a rating of zero for five straight episodes.<\/p>\n

Zero. Out of 100. For five straight episodes.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This answers the question, “What happens when you’re surrounded by people who aren’t comfortable being honest?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The rating represents the percentage of TV viewers watching a given show at a given time, according to the Nielson ratings service. See more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This doesn’t mean zero people were watching Criss Angel’s show, of course. We trust all his family members were watching, as well as dozens of others watching ironically. Also, C.I.A. “black sites” sometimes force high-value terrorists to watch television shows during interrogations, so there’s that.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is the number of people watching Criss Angel’s TV series isn’t literally zero. It’s figuratively zero.<\/p>\n

Nielson ratings, of course, aren’t necessarily the ultimate measurement of the quality of a show. Two of the best-rated shows on television are “Sunday Night Football” and “Thursday Night Football.” In related news, we are all doomed.<\/p>\n

Criss Angel is going through a rough patch. Beyond the ignominious closure of “Amystika,” the magician’s restaurant caught fire.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, Cablp, is located in Overton, Nevada. The restaurant name stands for “Criss Angel’s Breakfast, Lunch & Pizza.”<\/p>\n

Investigators suspect the fire was arson<\/a>, surprising no one, or approximately the same number of people watching “Criss Angel’s Magic with the Stars” each week.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t seen “Criss Angel’s Magic with the Stars,” and by “if” we mean “because,” here’s what it’s about: The show is a competition reality series hosted by Eddie Griffin.<\/p>\n

Creating and producing a TV show is hard. Watching this one is harder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Performers are judged by Criss Angel, Loni Love and Lance Burton. Celebrity guests train with magicians, perform illusions and, if the judges deem them worthy, they’ll be back to compete for the “Golden Wand.”<\/p>\n

We would not be surprised if “golden wand” were Criss Angel’s nickname for his sexual organ.<\/p>\n

The format of the show is familiar, and it’s hard to go wrong with celebrity guests, so it’s baffling why “Criss Angel’s Magic With the Stars” would be getting such terrible numbers.<\/p>\n

It’s really baffling. If it’s not the magic, or the celebrities, what else could it be? Oh, right.<\/p>\n

\"\"
“Magic With the Stars” consists mainly of: 1) Criss Angel talking about himself, 2) Lance Burton dying inside, 3) the term “celebrity” being used very loosely.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We trust Criss Angel will blame the show’s failure on Loni Love, whoever that might be.<\/p>\n

If it seems like we’re experiencing joy from witnessing Criss Angel’s failures, that’s a misguided conclusion. What you’re seeing is actually “schadenfreude,” a much fancier way of saying we experience joy from witnessing Criss Angel’s failures.<\/p>\n

Why? Because Criss Angel’s sort of a lunkhead.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example. He went on a TV show to promote “Magic With the Stars.” We aren’t even going to say anything about his hair, because we are mature. Just listen to what he says about how he came up with the idea for “Magic With the Stars.”<\/p>\n
