Fairly early in my flight attendant career I had the chance to meet big time Vegas magician Criss Angel. It was a very exciting moment for me, and a very awkward one for him I’m sure. The whole conversation sort of went like this:

“Hello sir, would you like anything to drink?”

“No I’m fine, but thank you,” he said. I leaned in a little after his response and lowered my voice.

“You’re Criss Angel aren’t you?” he threw me this half smile like he was thinking, oh God I hope she doesn’t ask me to do a trick. “So can you do a little magic trick for me?” I asked.

He pulled his hat down over his face, prompting the pretty girl sitting next to him to let out a polite giggle. “No, I’m sorry but I can’t really do that right now,” he responded.

I was totally bummed, but he totally made it up to me. Right before he got off the plane he invited me to see his show. I gave him my name and had two free front row tickets waiting at will-call that night. That was one perk they never mentioned during flight attendant school!
