Bent out of shape
Uri Geller became a 1970s superstar and
made millions with an act that included
bending spoons, seemingly through the
power of his mind. Now, the online video
generation is so bent out of shape over
the self-proclaimed psychic's behavior
that he is fast reaching the same
Internet pariah status as the recording
and movie industries.

Criss Angel (AskMen)
Criss Angel isn't afraid to lay his own
life on the line in order to keep his
fans entertained. Over the years this
talented performer has been burned
alive, run over by a steamroller and
even hung by four fishhooks while he
dangled precariously 100 feet over
Nevada's Valley of the Fire State Park.
"That wasn't a trick, but [it] was
incredibly difficult," Criss admits.
