Criss Angel is about to become immortal, and you can be there to see it.

No, the “Mindfreak” magician hasn’t discovered the secret for eternal youth. Instead, his likeness is about to be forever preserved in wax.

Angel’s waxen image, which many believe already appears far younger than his 41 years, will be unveiled on May 21 during a special event at Madame Tussauds in the Venetian.

Sources say the magician will attend the unveiling ceremony, and you can win your way in by emailing your name, e-mail address, phone number and birth date to tickets@gmgvegas.com.

Like the statue of iconic rapper Snoop Dogg, which was unveiled on April 20, Angel’s wax figure required months of work to create.

Literally hundreds of pictures were used to ensure the lifelike replica was in fact lifelike.

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. ELIGIBILITY: Contest open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, 13 years of age or older as of 5/1/09. Employees of Greenspun Media Group and Madame Tussauds, and the employee’s household or immediate family members (defined as parent, spouse, child, sibling, or grandparent) are NOT eligible to enter Contest.
