Ginuwine addresses failed magic trick with Criss Angel
According to PageSix, the 51-year-old singer was practising for the CW’s Magic With the Stars when his underwater stunt caused him to pass out.
In the video, the R&B legend struggles to hold his breath while submerged underwater in a glass cube before thrashing at the sides to signal his distress. Staff members gathered around the cube and immediately removed him from the box. They then try to calm him down shortly before he completely passes out.
The performer was carried offstage unconscious but later made a full recovery after paramedics were called.
After the singer’s video went viral, Ginuwine took to social media on Thursday to assure concerned fans that he was okay.
“That was a month ago, man. I guess the episode is likely about to air or whatever, but your boy’s good,” he said in a video clip on social media. “Superman, y’all now know that. I’m excellent, I’m excellent.”
The trick was a part of Magic With the Stars, in which celebrities compete to make impressive performances using Angel’s illusions and magic tricks. Along with Corbin Bleu, Miles Brown, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Taste Flav, Frankie Muniz, Omarion, and others, Ginuwine is a contestant.
In addition, Angel will join Loni Love and magician Lance Burton as judges on the new show.
The new series will debut on Saturday, 22 October 2022.
Before ending the video, Ginuwine noted that he was on his way to the airport and “about to head out” to host an event in Indiana, as per his Instagram.
“Nothing keeps me from my folks. See y’all tonight Gary Indiana don’t y’all know I’m Superman,” he wrote in the caption of his post.
