It is scary how far people can take things like that, whats interesting is that while so many fans rave about him, they do not put a notion towards the people that help shape his act like Nyman or Jermay, mind you anyone with celeb status will get stalked end of, I am waiting on a Maddam Tussauds waxwork of himself.

The real nutters are the ones who wouldn't even assume that people like Jermay and Nyman exist, that everything he does is exactly what he says it is and that he'd love nothing more to see a gigantic model of his own face that they've sculpted out of dried blood, hair and sawdust.

Frankly, I think Jermay and Nyman are the lucky ones. They get reasonable credit from the ones who approach the work a bit more sensibly, but the nutters would probably be immensely suss of the notion that Derren Brown doesn't just turn up alone and do it all himself.

The same can be said for Criss Angel. He has a ton of fans aka "Loyals" and none of them realize how bad he really sucks when it comes to magic or mentalism. Which is sort of an odd thing when you have guys like Banachek their behind the scenes. The other thing wrong is that his ego ended up pretty much derailing his career (I've read reviews of his Vegas show and most have said it sucked. also that it had loads of problems that would normally happen to a newbie and not somebody who supposedly has like 18 years of experience.)

But yeah usually for guys like that, people tend not to think that they have consultants and just think that they come up with the effects on their own.

That giant head is weird and just even nuttier for a Mentalist to have fans that crazy. I'd expect that of fans of Twilight and the Jonas Brothers... But not Derren Brown.

Criss Angel is seriously the worst. The worst magician, the worst at talking, the worst at dressing himself, he's just the worst person there has ever been.

Well what do you expect from a guy who has a ton of "yes" men under his staff constantly kissing up to him.

I am not obsessed with him but I think he is a great name in mentalism and I will always look upto him.

I think it's more or less life-size. There's another picture on there of the artist wearing it as a mask.
