What the hell happened to Criss Angel? No you’re not starring at a caveman’s picture, this is the same guy who charmed Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz.

Last night he received the 2008 Merlin Award for "Magician of the Year" in Las Vegas and it literally took us five minutes to recognize him.

Is the beard a new accessory or is Criss trying to keep a low pro? Homeboy should think of some new magic tricks to get rid of the beard, how about “Hairfreak” it off with some magic cream called Nair.
