Television illusionist Criss Angel has made millions on his Las Vegas magic show and television series, Mindfreak. And Friday in Nassau County divorce court, his estranged wife said it will take a nice chunk of that fortune to make her disappear.
Angel, born Christopher Sarantakos, an Elmont native, started dating Joanne Sarantakos of Garden City, 15 years ago, when they were both young and naive, her lawyer and family said. But as soon as he hit the big time, he sent her packing, and began parading around town with actress Cameron Diaz, they said.
"He really played the Mindfreak game on her," said Joanne Sarantakos's brother Michael Winkhart, referring to the name of his show. "Chris Sarantakos is technically dead, and Criss Angel has taken over."
Friday's court conference marked the beginning of the couple's divorce proceeding. Their next court date is Sept. 19.
