An intriguing and mystifying meeting of the minds takes place on live television when famed mentalist Uri Geller and world-renowned mystifier Criss Angel ("Criss Angel Mindfreak") conduct an intensive search for the next great mentalist on NBC's "Phenomenon."
The exhilarating and mystifying live show, hosted by "Access Hollywood's" Tim Vincent, is based on a successful Israeli version judged and monitored by Geller, which achieved a historical record-breaking viewing audience. "Phenomenon" showcases 10 carefully selected mentalists who will compete live against one another each week by demonstrating a wide spectrum of mystifying talents on a panel of celebrity guests who experience the spellbinding illusions along with the studio audience.
Celebrity guests on "Phenomenon" include Carmen Electra ("I Want Candy"), Rachel Hunter ("Dead Write") and Ross Mathews (Ross the Intern from NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"), Dayna Devon ("Extra"), Raven-Symoné ("That's So Raven"), and "The Girls Next Door" stars Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kenda Wilkinson, among others.
Three new celebrity guests will be featured in each of the five consecutive episodes of "Phenomenon." The celebrities will interact with the competing mentalists and experience the spellbinding illusions first-hand on "Phenomenon," along with the studio audience. They will provide an untainted reaction to the mentalists' performances, a stark contrast to the expert opinions offered by the show's resident experts, Criss Angel ("Criss Angel Mindfreak") and famed mentalist Uri Geller.
Together, Geller and Angel will assess the contestant's talents each week aon "Phenomenon" and offer their unfiltered opinions. Ultimately, the fate of the winner of "Phenomenon" is in the hands of the viewers at home, who will vote to determine which competing mentalist will receive the grand prize of $250,000 and become the next great mentalist.
