Phenomenon, a crappy ’90s movie with John Travolta, is now a crappy 21st-century TV show with Criss Angel.

Play the promotional game. Criss and minion Uri Geller will try to convince you they are reading your mind with a little numbers game.

It’s pretty clever if you’re in the 5th grade, but at the very least it gets you to play so you can be all cynical about it afterward.

We recommend you turn your sound off unless you’re into that whole Universal Studios feel.
