Criss Angel, MINDFREAK, Conjures Magic with Screen Goo at Planet Hollywood

Criss Angel

It's no trick and it's not an illusion: Screen Goo delivered exactly the kind of realism superstar magician and illusionist Criss Angel needed to transport the audience for his new show at Planet Hollywood to magical heights.

The Gala Premiere Grand Opening on January 19th, 2019 was the spectacular culmination of months of collaboration between Criss, his design team and a dedicated group of cutting-edge vendors including Goo Systems.

After 10 years or residency at the Luxor, Criss Angel's new MINDFREAK show moved across the street to Planet Hollywood for a five-year residency engagement starting in January 2019. Criss' new theater at Planet Hollywood was built to his specifications from the bottom up. To say that Criss is a "perfectionist" who gets things done exactly the way he wants them to be done is an understatement.

As such, the new show is a marvel of engineering, using state-of-the-art immersive visual technologies covering more visual area than any other production, according to the company. Criss adds "this is the largest theatre video system and lighting rig in the world, and also the largest pyrotechnic system, too."

"It's just overwhelming," he says. "... It's not a show you're just watching. It's a show that you're in." Featuring Screen Goo's Ultra Max Contrast 2.0 Theme Park coating system, illuminated with 10 of the latest Panasonic PT-RQ32KU 3-Chip DLP 4K+ Large Venue Laser Projectors, the projections blended seamlessly with millions of pixels of LED imaging to create a truly immersive and mesmerizing experience for the star-studded opening night audience.

A Screen Goo HE3D coated scrim is also a critical component of the show and it was singled out for praise by a prominent Las Vegas entertainment journalist: "There is advanced scrim work here that brings to mind the finer moments of 'The Beatles Love' at The Mirage," reported John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review Journal.

For many, a real highlight occurred at the end of the show when representatives from the Caesar's Entertainment Group presented Criss with a $10,000 check for the Jonny Crisstopher Children's Charitable Foundation.

The complete Screen Goo line of products is available through a rapidly growing network of distributors and dealers throughout the world. For more information on Goo Systems Global please visit the URL below.

Criss Angel holds multiple world-records made during his magic performances, and was named Magician of the Decade in 2009 and Magician of the Century in 2010 by the International Magicians Society. In addition to his career as an illusionist, Angel was the lead singer for his industrial band Angeldust, which released five albums between 1998 and 2003. He wrote the book Mindfreak: Secret Revelations.
