Inside Look: The Making of Michigan Tech's Mascot

By admin

The Michigan Tech mascot, the Husky, is an important symbol of school spirit and pride on campus. The Husky represents the resilience, determination, and loyalty that are key values at Michigan Tech. The first live Husky mascot was introduced in 1965, and since then, there have been several beloved Huskies who have held the title of Michigan Tech's mascot. The current Husky mascot is called Blizzard, who was named after a university-wide vote in 2018. Blizzard can often be seen at sporting events and campus activities, bringing smiles to students' faces. The Husky mascot is more than just a furry friend roaming around campus.

Criss Angel Mindfreak Platinum Magic Kit - "Does it Work?"

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) – You've watched magic shows on TV, but have you ever wondered how they pull it off? With the Criss Angel Mindfreak Platinum Magic Kit, not only will you know the secrets behind the tricks, but you can perform them for your own audience! That's if it works.

I seek out Kevin Ives from our promotions department at WSFA, as he's long been fond of magic. He will take the kit home for a few weeks to learn some magic. The kit boasts over 250 magic tricks and comes with quite a bit of gadgetry. After several weeks of practice, his routine is ready and it's time to show off to some of his co-workers.

For Kevin's first trick, he attempts to push nails through a coin. He slides several nails through the black box containing the coin, but most of the audience is underwhelmed.

Kevin then moves to a card trick. Audience member Caleb Hawk chooses a number from a special deck of cards with a series of numbers on it. He picks number 53. He has to remove all cards with his number on it and return them to Kevin. Now Kevin reads Caleb's mind!

"I think your number is number fifty-three," says Kevin as he nails his mind reading attempt.

The curiosity of many in the audience rises. The next card tricks will grab their attention. Kevin asks Liken Hudson to inspect a deck of fifty two seemingly normal cards. Liken tells Kevin when to stop rifling through the cards. He stops on a nine of hearts; the audience can see it, be he cannot. Kevin shuffles the deck and her card should now be at the bottom.

Kevin says, "I've got the card and I've done it again so your card was the nine of hearts."

The crowd isn't fully on board, but Kevin turns the deck from a standard one, to one filled with the nine of hearts. That wins all of their attention, especially Liken's.

Liken exclaims, "Stop it! How did you do that?!"

Kevin then pokes a hole through a card in a plastic window, without breaking the plastic. He even returns a torn card back to its original look. And most impressive of all, he magically transports Liken's special nine, to underneath her purse in a different room!

"You guys! How did you do that?" says Liken in disbelief.

Kevin explains, "It's all about you selling it to everyone else. Because it might look simple, but if you're able to convince them, then it's going to work out."

So, was our audience sold?

Sports anchor Derek Steyer says, "Even though you know there's probably something to it, it's still neat to see it done without seeing how it's done."

Liken adds, "I was actually impressed. I found myself actually being 'wowed' so it was cool."

So, the Criss Angel Magic Kit gets a YES for this week's "Does it Work?" test!

The Criss Angel Mindfreak Platinum Magic Kit cost us $29.99 at a local retailer.

Criss Angel lends his name to a magic kit, but who’s teaching the tricks?

Criss Angel hosts a party for the release of his Mindfreak Platinum Magic Kit at The Bank in the Bellagio on Sept. 20, 2010.

Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 | 3:15 p.m.

Move aside, Mysto. Fall in line, Fantasma. There’s a new mass-marketed magic set in town. You’ve seen it on TV and at Walgreens. It’s the Criss Angel Mindfreak Platinum Magic Kit, and it sells for $30.

The Criss Angel Mindfreak Platinum Magic Kit retails for $30.

The kit doesn’t come with eyeliner or black nail polish, but it does offer some impressive stuff. Invisible thread, thumb tip, miniature silks, faux metal cups, a poker-size deck of playing cards—I wish the magic sets I received as a kid had props this professional. For $30, the kit is also a great value, though, not as great as the box would have you believe. “Over a $200.00 value!” it reads. As a former professional magician and former middle school mathlete, I can’t imagine how Angel’s people arrived at this figure.

The worst part of the kit is the instructional DVD. In the introduction section, Angel says, “The most important thing for you is to practice, have fun and make each mindfreak your own.” But how am I supposed to make these tricks my own when 90 percent of them have Criss Angel logos and photos on them?

And after his incredibly brief introductory comments, Angel seems to perform a disappearing act. Some guy I’m pretty sure isn’t Criss Angel teaches all the tricks. We never even get to see his face or hear his voice—though some verbal instruction would be incredibly helpful—but staring at those fingers, I’m confident it’s not Angel, creepy as that might sound.

Angel’s contribution to the instruction booklet is equally token (e.g., “Criss’ Thought: This is a strong MINDFREAK because the spectator believes you can ‘read’ their thoughts.”). Oh well. Magic set instructions are notoriously crappy, and for generations, kids have been figuring out what to do with magic props even if the tattooed and ringed celebrity behind them isn’t exactly pointing the way. I’m sure they’ll figure out what to do with these props, too. And when they do, they just might freak your mind.

The Husky mascot is more than just a furry friend roaming around campus. They play a crucial role in building school spirit and creating a sense of community among students, alumni, and faculty. The mascot is a symbol of unity and support for Michigan Tech's athletic teams and other university initiatives.

In addition to attending sporting events, the Husky mascot also participates in charity events, community service, and even makes appearances at local schools. The mascot serves as a positive role model for students, encouraging them to work hard, be proud of their school, and give back to the community. Overall, the Michigan Tech Husky mascot plays a vital role in the university's culture, representing the school's values and fostering a sense of unity among students, alumni, and the wider community. The Husky is not only a symbol of school spirit but also a source of inspiration and pride for all those associated with Michigan Tech..

Reviews for "The Secret Life of Michigan Tech's Mascot"

1. Sarah - 2 stars - I have to say, I was very disappointed with the Michigab tech mascot. It lacked creativity and seemed like a poor attempt at creating something unique. The design was dull and uninteresting, and it didn't strike me as something that could truly represent the spirit of the university. I hope they consider revamping it in the future.
2. John - 1 star - As an alumni of Michigab tech, I was embarrassed to see the mascot they came up with. It looked like a cheap knockoff of other mascots you can find at any average college. There was no originality or thought put into it. It felt like they just threw together some random elements and called it a day. I expected more from my alma mater.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The Michigab tech mascot was a complete letdown. It lacked personality and charm, and I couldn't even tell what it was supposed to represent. The colors were uninspiring, and the overall design seemed rushed and poorly executed. It's a shame that such a prestigious university couldn't come up with something better. I hope they consider reconsidering their mascot choice.
