Magician Criss Angel had to cancel his Las Vegas shows at the Luxor after finding out that his son Johnny Crisstopher Sarantakos was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Angel is now performing in his own show called “Criss Angel BeLIEve” by Cirque Du Soleil at the Luxor casino-hotel. Angel posted a photo of himself and Johnny to his official Twitter account earlier in the day. The illusionist posted a sweet photo holding his son on October 23.
Johnny was diagnosed with cancer when he returned with his mother to Australia.
“I’ve performed through a deviated septum, a hernia, illness, and I’ve not missed one show…I’ve done more than 2,100 shows”.
This is the first time that the 47-year-old American magician hinted that he is a father.
Criss Angel has flown back to Australia to be with his 20-month-old son.
Criss’ abrupt cancellation last Thursday was reportedly the first time that he has cancelled a show in seven years.
