| - When I was a young child, David Copperfield was my hero. He single-handedly made me want to become an illusionist at one point.
Fifteen years after I last saw one of Mr. Copperfield's televison specials, I finally went to go see him perform live at the MGM Grand! At the door, tix were about $100 bucks, but we were able to buy them for 75 at Tix4Tonite(the giant coke bottle next to M&M World).
The show itself was ok. i was very disappointed to see how cocky and arrogant he had become. And I dont remember him ever trying to be a comedian. He performed about 8 tricks, at most, with only 3 of them being "over-the-top".
I was lucky enough to go up on stage with David and be a part of his Lottery trick, which was an amazing experience. If I were still the hardcore fan I once was, i would have pissed my pants lol.
But it is obvious that David Copperfield is passed his prime. Had I seen any other magician, and had I not gone on stage, and had I paid full price, I would have given the overall experience and value 2 stars.
