Copperfield
is one of the top selling acts in Vegas!!
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!
