Believe!

Illusionist Criss Angel is engaged to girlfriend Sandra Gonzalez after proposing while they were on vacation in Cabo San Lucas this month, and the couple are "ecstatic," Angel's rep confirmed to E! News Tuesday.

But while a little sleight of hand may have been involved, that massive ring didn't appear out of thin air...

Angel offered up a 5-carat princess-cut diamond on a platinum band that he codesigned along with New York jeweler Idayne Kaye.

Per his rep, on the night of Sept. 7 he and Gonzalez were having a romantic sunset dinner on the beach when he popped the question. Angel had flown her family in as a surprise and they showed up right after she accepted, fireworks blasting overhead.

This will be Angel's second marriage, his first having ended in 2006 after four years and one instance of the husband being buried alive. He also dated Holly Madison for awhile.

No wedding date has been set, but so long as no one does a disappearing act beforehand, we bet the nuptials will be a sight to behold.
