MINDFREAK - the book - will be an extention of the show, which uses a specific topic each week - like 'Buried Alive', 'Bullet Catch', 'Building Walk', or 'Levitation' - to delve into the history of each subject, and see if Criss can't break new ground by doing something no one has done before. We are also going to try and include secrets in the book - clues to be dissected by readers - that relate back to magic he will perform on the show, where the book will be heavily promoted.
