Criss Angel BeLIEve is a show that aired on the Spike TV Network. It debuted in October 8, 2013 and is stylized much like Angel's previous show Mindfreak that aired on A&E Network. The show gives viewers unprecedented access into Angel's "Think Tank" and shows the creative process behind the illusions and demonstrations from conception to execution. It is centered on stunts and street magic acts by magician Criss Angel. 11 episodes were originally going to air but only 10 were shown due to Angel's surgery that needed to take place because of his severe shoulder injury from filming the double straight jacket escape.
