Criss Angel Is a Douchebag

Old Magicians, Bad Deals, and Supernatural Street Magic Gone Wrong

Welcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor build and play a drinking game while watching and spoiling Supernatural season 4, episode 12, "Criss Angel Is a Douchebag." Three aging magicians in Iowa discover real magic via tarot cards during Magic Week, but their pact comes with deadly consequences when someone has to pay the price for reliving glory days.

Krissy and Nate dig into the surprising emotional weight beneath this episode's comedic premise, exploring how aging and relevance collide when shortcuts to youth involve murder. They debate whether the magicians' devotion justifies their choices and dissect Barry Bostwick's heartbreaking performance as Jay while tracking Sam's troubling path toward Ruby. Sample drinking cues include every utterance of "old man" or "old guy" and the surprisingly frequent use of douchebag, plus scarf pulls and tarot cards.
