Absolute pro.
That's why he's David Copperfield...the guy makes every other magician seem like a birthday party clown.
This is probably my 8th "magic" show to attend in Vegas and besides Penn & Teller, he's the only other entertainer whose tricks I just can't figure out and he does it on a larger scale than them...some of his stuff is utterly impossible...and when you think that a magic trick has run flat, like, "eh, I know how he does that, it wasn't that great"...another element comes into play that just completely throws a WTF twist in...like those arm bands they pass out to the audience...put it on and see what happens for one of his tricks.
One of the drawbacks, I'd have to say on the night we went was that probably 75% of the audience were from other countries so some of the volunteers he picks don't understand English that well and it's like "Damn, I just want to see the #$% trick"...not his fault but it disrupts the flow of the show sometimes...but that's only a credit to him being a worldwide draw...people from all over Europe were there...but Copperfield plays into it well when he has a foreigner up there and is witty and sharp and kind of makes fun of the fact that they gave a dumb answer or seem clueless as to what is going on.
Many people's reviews said he seemed tired and burnt out...I didn't feel that way...and I saw him back in 1988 in New York...more than 25 years later, the guy still has it, great showmanship as always.
Penn and Teller
David Copperfield
David Blaine
Best in the world. That's it....and we still can't figure out the finale at the end. Just mind blowing.
TIP: Don't buy a drink before the show when you are seated...I think my buddy paid close to $25 for 2 bud lights. Copperfield has half a billion dollars and owns private Islands...don't feel bad if you aren't generating a percentage of his take on alcohol sales.
