No, Harry Houdini died 41 years before Chris was born.
Criss Angel most admires Harry Houdini. He has said in many episodes of Mindfreak that Houdini inspires him to do most of his stunts. He has redone and beat many of Houdini's stunts over the years. Even Though Criss admires H. Houdini, his father is his greatest hero today, as said when the Drum set was given to him. He most looks up to his father. He does also look up to Houdini as well for inspiration, but after his father passed in 1998 from Cancer, Criss is very inspired and dedicated to him(his Father). yes both h. houdini and his father john sarantakos are his heros rip john
Harry Houdini
His Hero and inspiration is Harry Houdini!
The best magician is off course Criss Angel MINDFREAK. Not David Blaine, not Harry Houdini, and not Richiardi. They are a close second. The closest person to Criss Angel will and ever will be Houdini
I would have to say Harry Houdini, even though I'm a HUGE Criss Angel fan. Many of Criss Angels tricks were originally performed by Houdini, who had made them up himself.
1998
Criss Angel is known widely as a master at magic, illusions, escape, hypnotism, and stunt performing. He is the star of his own show, Criss Angel Mindfreak. He purposely sets up his performances in open areas with huge audiences so that viewers can get a good look at his stunts. Is he the 21st Century's new age Houdini so they say. Houdini was better.
