Tonight marks the premiere of A&E’s newest journey into the unknown, The 5 Lives of Criss Angel Mindfreak. For five weeks, the world renowned illusionist will push himself to the limit with five death defying stunts. You can see a clip below.

Tonight’s premiere episode is called “White Death,” where Criss will bury himself under ice:

Criss takes the "Buried Alive" escape attempt to an unprecedented level, adding the extra weight and freezing temperatures of snow and ice. Shackled and placed in a transparent coffin before hundreds of fans and his concerned family and then buried in ice and snow, Criss must escape his bonds and dig himself out of impossible conditions before succumbing to hypothermia, suffocation or the possibility of the ground collapsing from the weight of the snow.
