The main reason why magician's hate him and discredit his work is simple!
He makes lots of money. Criss and David Blaine have equals 100 times over, however they can sell themselves and get a gig that will pay millions. Most practiced magicians can replicate these feats, but who gets into magic these days?
It ain't the charismatic go getter that can stun the boys and wow the ladies.
No, unfortunately most magicians regardless of technique have a less than magnetic personality.
Pure and simple Criss Angel and David Blaine have above average to excellent magic abilities but they have the right agent! That's why they're hated within the inner circle.
