Northern Illinois-based RealWheels Accessories and illusionist and Mindfreak series star Criss Angel, along with more than 20 sponsors, have worked all summer on the Mindfreak Hummer H2 show vehicle.

"Every year people ask us how we will possibly top our previous show vehicles," says RealWheels vice president Jhan Dolphin. "I’ve always been a big fan of magic, and this year’s SEMA show opening on Halloween presented us with the perfect opportunity to create something very unusual. When I shared our idea with Criss, he was thrilled to be part of the project."

Halloween 2006 is a big day in the magic community as it marks the 80th anniversary of Harry Houdini’s death. The custom Hummer project was built in the spirit of Criss Angel’s A&E series Mindfreak.

"The more you look at this vehicle, the more interesting and unusual things you’ll find," said Dolphin. "Even original artifacts from Houdini’s era have been discreetly added into design features of the Mindfreak Hummer from the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and from the Martinka Magic Shop in New York, once owned by Houdini himself."
