Britney Spears and magician Criss Angel Practice Up



Just four years ago, she made waves by locking lips with Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards. Now, Britney Spears is planning on making her triumphant return to the world of pop music with the assistance of magician Criss Angel.

The latest on the upcoming MTV VMA performance indicates that the ‘Mindfreak’ star will help Britney “vanish and then reappear several times through mirrors during her performance.”
And speaking of vanishing and reappearing, Britney got a little practice in during her hosting duties at the opening of Club LAX in Las Vegas.

After spending 20 minutes or so in the VIP area at a table next to the Illusionist, Britney and Criss “swayed to Timbaland’s “The Way I Are” and “Shake What Your Mamma Gave Ya”. At one point, she took Angel’s red lollipop out of his mouth and put it in her mouth.”

Britney then made her first disappearing act, heading to the ultra-private Noir Bar next door.

And after taking an hour break from her 3 hour, $100,000 hosting gig, Britney reappeared at LAX and “was rejoined by Angel, who danced with her for several seconds before taking off one of his necklaces and putting it around her neck.”

Twenty minutes later, Brit and Criss disappeared for good, leaving for Noir Bar together. According to those at the event, “she spent about 40 minutes in two shifts at LAX for her much-advertised hosting gig, all of it in the VIP area.”

And a $100,000 check to go along with it. Now that’s what we call magic!


Enjoy the pictures of Britney, Criss and pals inside of Club LAX on Friday night (August 31).
