In my mind, it would be hard to fathom anyone that hasn’t seen and heard of David Copperfield….but yet, as a magician myself I encounter children and adults at every show each week who have not heard of this legend! One must admit that he has not been doing as many television appearances these days, but that is because he is in Las Vegas! And according to the Ticketnews.com people his show is in the top 10 selling shows in Las Vegas along with Cher and other magicians. Well of course! All of the years of experience behind this Legend scream success! Seriously folks, I can remember back in the 80’s when Copperfield was doing superb sleight of hand mixed with smaller illusions and had Lonnie Anderson and Bill Bixby as guest stars on his television appearances, and then came the “The Vanishing Statue of Liberty”.
Clearly this illusion “The Vanishing Statue of Liberty”, was the one that catapulted Copperfield into the national and worldwide markets because it was so large and unbelievable that everyone I knew, whether they liked magic or not, was watching. Just the announcement of this feat was on every news channel and every radio station and not because the Copperfield marketing department paid to put it there, it had never been done and was that incredible in the 80’s. Other notable and wonderful illusions on the Copperfield rise to fame included: “Walking thru the Great Wall of China”, “Floating across the Grand Canyon”, “Escaping from a Falling Building”, “Bermuda Triangle”, “The Vanishing Airplane”, “Vanishing the Orient Express”, “Escaping from the Niagara Falls”, and “Flying” (one of my personal favorites).
Those are just a few that came to my mind, but there are many others and most of the above mentioned television specials were excellent! Currently, I think that Copperfield has been to my town at least 10 or 15 times touring with his show and I have probably attended a dozen of those times and they were worth it! Each visit brought some new illusions mixed with some of the favorite classics that David Copperfield should not do without. David Copperfield has a one man sawing illusion that never fails to get gasps along with his classic duck appearances and his vignettes with his beautiful assistants where they disappear and reapear somewhere else etc... His Las Vegas show has seriously got to be a huge success! If you haven’t seen David Copperfield, just break down and go, whether you like magic or not he will not disappoint, all the millions that have paid to go see him over his 20 year career can’t be wrong! I personally have not seen his Las Vegas show, but I would think that it would be somewhat similar to what he was doing when he was touring the USA. If you have seen his show you can leave your review below, would love to read it. The things that I have read on other websites have all been positive and the next time that I am in Sin City, I surely will be seated in time to see David Copperfield!
