Criss Angel exposed “psychic” Jim Callahan last night on a live taping of the NBC show Phenomenon. Angel challenged fellow judge Uri Geller, and Callahan, to tell him what was in the envelope he was holding in his hand. If either of them did, Angel said he’d pay $1 million of his own money. Here’s what went down:
“Criss, I can see you’re itching to say something,” noted “Phenomenon” host and Access Hollywood’s Tim Vincent .
“I just think it’s comical quite frankly,” Angel said.
Angel then pulled an envelope from his pocket and appeared to challenge, not only Callahan’s abilities, but also those of his fellow judge Geller.
“I will give you a million dollars of my personal money right now if either one of you can tell me specific details of what’s in here right now,” Angel insisted.
The challenge clearly didn’t sit well with the contestant.
“Ok man, I’ll tell you what I will tell you. I find you an ideological bigot,” Callahan responded as he made his way towards Angel.
“Tell me what’s in the envelope,” Angel kept repeating.
Angel then got out of his seat to meet Callahan, as Geller and Vincent came between the two men and separated them.
Obviously Angel came to the show prepared to embarrass Callahan. Callahan channels dead people’s spirits, and maybe this kind of magic bothers Angel, because it gives people false hope and false closure since, as Angel proves, it’s all fake. Angel’s magic is just as fake, but perhaps he feels he’s better than Callahan because his magic and deception is somehow more honest. Does it even matter if it’s fake, just as long as it’s entertaining? Maybe Angel felt threatened, or maybe this was all to get more free publicity just like when he hangs around with celebrities like Britney Spears. There’s no question that Angel could not have guessed what was in a surprise envelope either, if he had been challenged the same way. If any of them were real magicians they would have fought each other at a distance with magic wands like on Harry Potter. These guys are all talk and no magic.

Illusionist Criss Angel has denied rumours that he is dating pop singer Britney Spears, saying that their relationship is purely professional.
Speaking to People magazine, Angel said that he is helping Spears to prepare for a possible MTV Video Music Awards performance.
The illusionist said: "It's amazing what people think. We're not together. Her manager is my manager, and I'm helping with one of her shows. I'm helping with her appearance on MTV."
"We were talking about how she wants to do something more with the (awards) show, and about me helping out and hoping to work with her on doing something to make her MTV appearance more innovative."
"It's amazing how you can't do anything now without people making up stuff," said Angel.
