text: This is real magic.  I know people think he is a tired act, but he is the originator.  Houdini did great things, but Copperfield is the showman of our time.  Amazing tricks...funny jokes...touching moments about his childhood (especially the story about his father).  I will not give away too much.\n\nFirst...the dude looks like he is in his 20s.  That right there is magic.  \n\nSecond...he doesn't talk with a lisp and tell stupid jokes *cough* Criss Angel *cough*\n\nThird....his tricks are not overly produced.  He doesn't have a ton of smoke and mirrors and crazy lights *cough* Criss Angel again *cough*.  He does the stuff right in front of you.  I am talking right next to you in the audience...somebody levitated.  I know it is a trick, but that is an entertaining trick.\n\nFourth...he likes to use attractive women from the audience to help him.  He has some kind of hotness detector that spots these women.  I am always hoping that as part of the trick he makes something pop out that shouldn't pop out.  I have seen him 3 times now and no such luck.\n\nFifth...the room he performs is tiny.  You are right next to him.  You can tell he has done this and perfected it for a long time.  You can tell he has respect for his craft.\n\nSixth...he makes fun of himself some.  This is a bit refreshing because most magicians seem to think they are mystics and actually have powers *cough* Criss Angel *cough* *big cough* David Blane *big cough*.\n\nSeventh...he tries new stuff.  You can tell he gets bored with the same old tricks, which is why if you have seen him once then you need to see him again.  You will see new stuff.  The entire show will not be new but you will see new tricks that are amazing.  Also, it is a reasonably priced show and according to my wife it looks saucy to post on facebook that we saw David Copperfield.
