Criss Angel rose to fame by dazzling audiences withawe-inspiring illusions and magic tricks.
However, the world-famous magician has dedicated time to another passion ending childhood cancer.
The cause is very near to Angel’s heart.
In 2016, Angel toldPeoplethat his son’s cancer was in remission and opened up about the horrible experience.
“My son is supposed to outlive me.
I’d rather it be me that was sick,” he said.
“I want Johnny’s future to be long and happy.
That kid is just a bundle of love.
He’s the truest form of magic.”
Unfortunately, in 2019 Angel toldTMZthat Johnny Crisstopher had to undergo treatments again after the cancer returned.
More than a year later, Angel has another, much happier update on his son’s health.
What does ringing the bell mean?
TheMD Anderson Cancer Centerexplained that it is a tradition that has its roots in their hospitals.
Basically, it’s a ceremonial ringing after the final round of chemotherapy to celebrate being done.
Although his son is in remission, Angel is still moving forward with his goal of eradicating childhood cancer.
“But this is real life.”
