| - we went to his live show on 5/2 at 7pm.. it's a tables setting type of deal cuz they do a beverage/a couple snacks service throughout the show.. so we were in row C close to the wall, and DC did a lot of stuff close by w/in viewing distance in my particular row which was really cool, being so up close and personal w/ a 'celeb' like that . we've been really impressed w/ our seating from vegas.com. we were worried cuz we don't know the seating til we get the tix in person and everything ended up being close enuf. my husband's not a fan of magic stuff so he left mid show to go smoke and whatnot.. i just enjoyed my shirley temple and the magic/stunts that DC did for us.. the guys that were placed next to me tho were annoying, i guess they didn't like their original seats so they complained to get closer and wound up next to me.. but the guy next to me was soooo loud and obnoxious!
personally, i wanted to go see DC cuz i remember watching his tv specials when i was a kid, and my dad took us to go see his live show back then too. and w/ my dad's death anniv on may 31st, i thought it was really fitting.. to add to it, turns out DC involved his late dad in his show a lot too so it was particularly touching.. part of me wondered tho if he was doing it cuz he actually misses his parents or if it's to exploit his personal loss for financial gain? idk, i just got that impression a bit.. but for me, it was still partially heartfelt. i just don't think i'd have included my late parents in the way he did w/ his father.
he did his usual of making stuff appear and disappear (including audience members as the finale lol), and he also did a classic mini magic trick of making a paper crumbled into a ball and making it dance lol, and then he turned it into a paperish rose, then a real rose! i remember him doing this move back in the day and i think it was still the same background music, so i really appreciated seeing that bit in person :))).. basically everything he did had audience members involved as participants/witnesses that everything is legit.. he also did a few special moves involving technology lol, like a magical email (i couldn't do the email cuz i don't have internet on my phone, yeah i know, what's wrong w/ me?! lol) and he did a trick w/ a wristband involved (i kept it as a souvenir)... anyhow, it was about 85% magic filled which i appreciated... another thing tho, DC was seemingly impatient w/ audience members not following his instructions fast enuf and like all magicians, he feeds off of applause and praise from the audience, so there was a lot of milking that. oh i almost forgot the BEST part! ****HE TOUCHED MY HAND**** when he ran by my row!!! i couldn't believe it! i thought i'd be one of the unlucky who reach out for their hand and they miss it! DC is the 1st and likely only celeb to ever make physical contact w/ me and it was AWESOME! ah well, as a partial tribute to my dad, i can say i saw DC in person again, cuz yeah last time was when my dad was still alive.. after reading others' reviews online tho, i get the feeling that the participants/witnesses are fake, some stuff mentioned in the reviews was all too familiar ://// so that burst my bubble a tad... still, i wonder how he does the stuff he did.
