Has Criss Angel raised people from the dead? Can he promise eternal life? Can he forgive sin? Did he create anything? Did Criss Angel die on a cross, buried and resurrected after 3 days? Can Criss Angel do anything?

First, Criss Angel is pathetic.
Second, Jesus would have had to be far more skilled to do his tricks without the benefit of TV cameras.

The best answer I can put here is simply to ask Jesus. :)
Prayer is an amazing thing. Through prayer, we can talk to our Heavenly Father and Jesus. We can tell them all about the horrible day we had, or how that cute guy at school finally asked us out on a date, or any number of things.
We can also ask them very important questions. My personal favourite is: "Do you really exist?" That's what got me on my own spiritual path over 10 years ago. I really wanted to know. So I asked. And then I shut up, stayed on my knees, and listened. After a few minutes, I got a response. It was, in essence, a yes.
ANYONE can receive answers to their prayers, but there are a couple of conditions. First, do you REALLY want to know? If you REALLY want to know something, like if God exists, or if Christ was just a wandering Criss Angel without the TV syndication, then all you have to do is ask.
Secondly, you have to be willing to listen. And God has this lovely sense of humour sometimes, and will make you wait for the answer sometimes just to see if you really want to know. Be persistent if you do, and you'll get your answer.
Thirdly, we come to Faith. Faith doesn't have to be this amazing and overwhelming knowledge about everything in the universe. Faith is a hope. Faith starts out very very small. If you HOPE you can receive an answer, and if you believe it is possible to receive an answer, then you will get your answer.
Once you've received your answer, accept it. So if you get an answer from God saying "Why yes, as a matter of fact, Christ was a fantastic magician. You should have seen His card tricks! But he was ALSO My Son, and He did miracles in My Name, and He healed the blind, raised the dead, and made it possible for YOU to learn about me and return to live with me again some day in Heaven after you die," well, if you get THAT answer, you should probably accept it. ;)
And speaking of answers, there's lots of different ways to get your answer. Sometimes, you may get a very warm happy feeling all over, or just near your heart. That's the third member of the team (or Trinity, or Godhead, however you may know it.) the Holy Ghost. His job is to deliver messages from God to You. He is also known as the Comforter, which is, I'm sure, partly because of that warm Comforting Comfortable feeling you can get sometimes from prayer. It's a lovely feeling. Sometimes, you may hear words in your mind. (Ignore the peanut gallery commenting on "hearing voices" and asking if you're going nuts...this is TOTALLY different). These words are often soft, and very loving. Sometimes they tell you things you don't want to hear. Usually, they go hand in hand with that lovely feeling from the Holy Ghost. In time, with practice asking questions and getting answers and living a good life, you'll learn how to figure out which answers are coming from God, and which answers are just your own mind doing its own bit of wishful thinking.
Good luck, set apart some quiet time, and ask God yourself any question in the world you want to ask. Ask with faith, believing that He can do whatever He wants to (including answering a question that comes from a mere mortal...and that because He loves you, you are his child!), and listen. He'll let you know anything that He feels you Really Want To Know, or that You Really Should Know. Just be prepared to listen! ;) Good luck!

If he was a magician, he was a kind of a magician that put human life of other people above his, which made him a very special magician.

No-I have seen footage in a Family Guy episode-I reckon Mohammed would be like David Blaine-kinda weird and insane-but lacking in any real intelligence.

Unlikely. Magic takes rehearsal, preparation and a stage. Miracles happen in the moment with people everywhere.
