PHOTOS: Criss Angel’s Memorial Date, Plus Scenes From The Lobby

Here's Criss Angel holding hands with his date to Thursday's public memorial for Danny Gans. The Angel entourage was Criss, this woman whose hand he was holding, and this other guy. I didn't interview Criss, because he's made it clear he's not up for it.

I have a lot of thoughts about the memorial itself. But we'll get to that on another day. For now, here are my terribly grainy photos. If you want to see photos from the event by professional photographer John Locher, check them out here along with video by Jason Bean, plus Mike Weatherford's recap.

Here's Criss and his unidentified date, holding hands, leaving the late Danny Gans' theater at Encore.

Once they got outside the theater, he gave a video interview while she watched.

When I exited Gans' memorial, I thought, "What's with the logjam?" Oh, it was because there was a TV camera with bright lights, where someone was interviewing local celebs about Gans. So in this little space, there circled Carrot Top, Donny Osmond, Rita Rudner, George Wallace, Criss Angel, Clint Holmes and others.

The crowd getting seated before the memorial:
