  • Dear Mr. Copperfield: I saw you perform ten years ago in Tokyo and you were brilliant. Sadly, your just completed show at the MGM in Las Vegas bordered on serious suckage. Where's the magic? In 90 minutes (and $100 a person plus $12-17 a drink) we saw three great illusions and maybe five other tricks. That's a pace that would put Garrison Keillor to sleep. You bragged from the stage that Houdini's total repertoire was good for only two hours but you had developed 26 hours of material. My guess: Houdini's two hours weren't 60% filler. Get the hint. And speaking of missing, what's up with you utter lack of stage presence? I understand you are trying to go casual, but its not working. Dumb jokes, constant leering at female volunteers from the audience and unceasing (4 videos plus lectures from the stage) reminders of your past achievements gets real old real quick. If you think I'm the only one annoyed read these 14 reviews http://www.rateitall.com/i-29337-david-copperfield.aspx plus the others here on Yelp. The performance I saw ten years ago had none of these problems. Maybe because it was a bigger venue (several thousand seats, not the 744 seats at the MGM) you tried to be grander, maybe because you feared a language barrier with the audience you didn't allow pointless drivel to be the focus of the performance. But mostly I think its because you wanted to put on a good show. And you got a great response without having your staff members go around the front row before the show demanding thunderous applause during the performance or coning the crowd into doing The wave for you. My advice: Less bragging and more magic. If you are tired from your 300 some shows a year, take some well earned time off and come back strong. You've been great, be great again. And if you won't, Chriss Angel (Mind Freak) or any of a handful of young magicians is going to earn massive applause by making you disappear. Your Fan, Bill S.
