My aunt was a producer on this show. She said the most difficult episode was a hip hop artist named Redman. Dudes place was basically a trap house and he refused to stop smoking weed so it was hell for the editors to try and cut it all. If you look closely in many shots you'll smoke because there was just no way to edit around it.

Its really funny to me how much Chris Angel idolizes Houdini, because based on what i know about Houdini he would have HATED Chris. He was very involved in the "anti-spiritual" movement, constantly debunking physics and the like. He would have hated that Chris uses editing for his "tricks" and all the "mind freak" bullshit. He probably would have written an entire book on why Chris Angel is a fraud, because he was that petty. Also fun fact because for some reason I know magician lore: There's only been one magician ever given permission to do Houdini's famous lightbulb trick, and that was Siegfried and Roy's protege, Darren Romeo.

Sensational editing skills, Chris. Loved the blinding light effect from Souja Boy's watch. Definitely do more Cribs. There's plenty of material.

I always figured this show was both boring and ridiculous, so thank you for making the episodes entertaining. I must say.... Criss' tours were exactly as expected. Was simultaneously surprised AND unsurprised that Soulja Boy's place looked like that, and that most of his money went to jewelry and Hot Pockets. Lil Jon's music has always been obnoxious, but I found him oddly charming here. The weird plant moment. How he lets these guys just chill out at his house and play ball. The makeshift booth. He seems relatively humble and friendly. Like, you could maybe hang out with him for a few hours without feeling totally drained. Even if he does wear shades, lacks an inside voice, and carries a weird chalice nearly 24/7. His episode so far is the only one that improved my perception of the celebrity.
