| - Went on a Thursday, was seated immediately to a small venue. thumbs up so far. didn't have to wait long for a not too expensive for a chardonnay and coors light for being on the strip. popcorn price was steep at 11 bucks so said no. show opens with a self-serving 3 minute too-long aggrandizing tribute to copperfield, which in a way hypes you up to the possibility of a spectacular show you think you're in for. after that you're left clinging, even hoping for amazing magic, and what you get is passable, but not WTF how did he do it kind of magic. As other posters have mentioned, it seems overly worked, tired and scripted. Yes, he does seem to make people disappear, throws around a frisbee to ensure complete randomness in a crowd of strangers, but i was left feeling every crowd member signed a waiver before they went onstage just to maintain his "secrets". He is funny and handsome, but the show needs to be retooled and freshened up if he's to remain competitive on the strip in vegas and competitive with the likes of the terry fator's and jeff dunham's, not magicians but certainly funny and entertaining and worth spending money to see.
