text: I saw this show a few years ago.  There were a few illusions that I really liked and scratched my head and wondered how.  For the most part however, I found the show somewhat boring.   I also immensely dislike ANY performer who needs to have his parents stand up and get applause.  In this case, Copperfield's parents were in the audience.  They deserved as much applause as I did for sitting through the show.\n\nThere was one illusion--and I know that's what it is--illusion, but it was totally ruined for me.  It's the locked box one where he predicts before the show what random people will say as a number.  I know the box is switched.  I don't know how, but when you do an illusion and you have someone write down numbers that get put in the box in the switch, have them write the numbers the same way you do, David.  Make sure you don't write 4 like that and the other person backstage write it the more common way we almost all write a four.  This error just ruined the whole thing for me and I walked away shaking my head wondering why I had wasted my money on this show.
