JUST WOW.......THIS SHOW RECOMMENDED TO THE WORLD....GO NOW !
RANDOM THOUGHTS AND IDEAS AND REACTIONS TO DAVID COPPERFIELD'S LATEST MASTERPIECE.
HOW LUCKY I AM TO LIVE ON THE SAME PLANET AND IN THE SAME CITY WITH THE WORDS GREATEST MAGICIAN......HE JUST PROVED IT AGAIN TO ME THIS WEEK !
MY HEROES FEW AND FAR BETWEEN....KEN BURNS...ITZHAK PERLMAN...WINSTON CHURCHILL AND DAVID COPPERFIELD...ACTUALLY MET 3 OF THE 4.

DAVID COPPERFIELD GOES SEVEN NIGHTS A WEEK AT THE MGM LAS VEGAS STRIP..........TWO.......THATS RIGHT TWO SHOWS A NIGHT....98 MINUTES....WHAT A WORKOHOLIC !
WE HAVE SEEN DAVID BEFORE (AND AGAIN I HOPE).....ITS SUCH A TREASURE TO GO TO BED EACH NIGHT AND KNOW I CAN DRIVE 15 MINUTES AND SEE THIS PHENOMENAL ARTIST EVERY NIGHT.
I HAVE SEEN THEM ALL AND I LOVE ALL THE ARTS....HERE THE ULTIMATE CREATIVE ARTIST.......DEVELOPING...EXECUTING AND PRODUCING NEW..... OVER THE TOP IDEAS.....YOU WILL SEE THIS GOOD A SHOW NO WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD!
DAVID HAS HIS OWN THEATRE AT THE MGM WITH A WONDERFUL PRODUCTION STAFF PERFECTLY TIMING THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION. NOT A FAN OF THE BIG SCREENS IN GENERAL BUT IT WORKS WONDERFULLY HERE !
STARTED ON TIME WITH A PRE SHOW CONTACT SETUP WITH EVERYONES CELL PHONE....THIS TECHNOLOGY 21ST CENTURY PLUS.
FROM UP CLOSE IT IS STILL MIND BOGGLING HOW CARS APPEAR....HOW AUDIENCE MEMEBERS ARE LEVITATED AND HOW COPPERFIELD SQUEEZES HIMSELF INTO THE SIZE OF A LARGE CEMENT BLOCK.
NUMBERS....NAMES AND WORDS APPEAR...OBVIOUSLY AT RANDOM IN A MAGICAL UNIVERSAL FASHION THAT CONTINUES TO IMPRESSS THE WORLD !
COPPERFIELD TOOK ME OVER THE TOP WITH HIS HISTORICAL TRIBUTE TO HIS DAD....THROUGH TECHNOLOGY...... AN ET....ISH TALKING PUPPET AND THE BACK GROUND MUSIC "NATURE BOY"...........THIS FROM NAT KING COLES AUTHENIC RENDITION WHICH REALLY TOUCHED ME..... AS I LOVE COLE, AND HIS MUSIC AND THIS PRODUCTION TOOK ME BACK TO MY FATHER,.... WHO IN APRIL OF 1966 TOOK ME TO SEE NAT KING COLE IN SIOUX CITY, IOWA ! OBVIOUSLY FEW IN THE CROWD COULD GET THIS SPECIAL REACTION THAT I DID.....BUT I GOT IT....THANK YOU DAVID.
AFTER TALKING TO PUPPET WHO HAD LINES EXPRESSIONS AND SOME GREAT COMEBACKS....COPPERFIELD PICKED HIM UP...DID A PIROUETTE AND OF COURSE THE PUPPET WAS GONE !

COPPERFIELD NOW 59, HOPEFULLY HAS A LONG CAREER YET AHEAD...THE WORLD (ESPECIALLY MINE) WILL BE GREATLY ENRICHED IF HE DOES.....THIS SHOW IS JUST FUN WITH SOME SMART ASS LINES AND REACTIONS WITH THE AUDIENCE THAT PLAY SO WELL...SOLD OUT EVERY NIGHT...PLAN AHEAD.
LOVE TIGHT PRODUCTION AND OF COURSE COPPERFIELD WORKS THE STAGE...THE FRONT ROW....THE MIDDLE ROW AND THE BACK ROW...HE IS ALL OVER....LOOKING GOOD AND SO OBVIOUSLY IN TOTAL COMMAND.....IF EVER THERE WAS THE COMPLETE SHOWMAN WITH 50 TONS OF CONFIDENCE THIS IS IT....NEVER ARROGANCE HE JUST EXUDES CONTROL AND EXECUTION.
AMAZING TOO HOW WELL COPPERFIELD WORKS THE AUDIENCE INTO THE SHOW...OFF AND ON THE STAGE...JUST PERFECT !
AMAZING TOO HOW WELL COPPERFIELD WORKS THE AUDIENCE INTO THE SHOW...OFF AND ON THE STAGE...JUST PERFECT !
THE PART ABOUT THE CREATIVE ARTS IS HERE IN ITS BEST EXAMPLE WITH THE CONCEPTION AND THEN EXECUTION OF NEW IDEAS.....AFTER THE SHOW COPPERFIELD ASKED ME..."HOW DID YOU LIKE THE NEW STUFF?"......ONLY MARVELOUS....THANKS FOR YOUR CREATIVITY DAVID.
OUR PARTY OVERWHELMED BY THIS AND TWICE A NIGHT HE MEETS AND GREETS SOME OF HIS FANS....WHAT A NICE THING TO DO......IN MY OLD AGE I LOVE TO BE HAPPY AND HAVE FUN....I DO AND ON THIS NIGHT DAVID COPPERFIELD TOOK ME TO NEXT LEVEL !

DAVID COPPERFIELD
BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com
I WAS ALREADY HAVING A GOOD DAY ON MY 39TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WITH DINNER AND NOW A SHOW (COPPERFIELD), BUT THE SHOW PUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE !
HAVING REVIEWED MAYBE 5000 LAS VEGAS SHOWS I HAVE SEEN MOSTLY STUFF I LIKE....16 AUGUST 2013 AT THE MGM...MAGICIAN DAVID COPPERFIELD......YOU HAVE ADVANCED THE ARTS TO A NEW LEVEL.
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENIUS....YOUR CREATIVITY .....YOUR WORK EFFORT....YOUR HISTORY ....YOUR PERSONALITY....YOUR SENSE OF TIMING....YOUR PRODUCTION AND TO YOUR PARENTS WHO OBVIOUSLY STRUCTURED YOUR LIFE AND YOUR EXISTENCE.
COPPERFIELD....15 SHOWS A WEEK AT THE MGM .... 702.891 7777....SELLS OUT EVERY SHOW AND WHY NOT..........THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS......RUMOR HAS IT COPPERFIELD AND THE MGM ARE WORKING ON RENAMING THE THEATRE AND WORKING ON A LONG TIME ENGAGEMENT HERE....THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR ALL OF US....I WANT TO GO BACK.
I HAVE MENTIONED A FEW SHOWS AS THE BEST IN LAS VEGAS...SOME ARE.....NONE WERE BETTER THAN WHAT WE ENJOYED LAST NIGHT.
SOME HISTORY......SINCE MY ARRIVAL IN LAS VEGAS IN 1984...... I HAVE SEEN THEM ALL....PROBABLY A DECADE OR SO SINCE MY LAST VISIT TO COPPERFIELD.....ITS A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME....THIS 57 YEAR OLD SUPER THINKER IS PRODUCING NEW ILLUSIONS AND NEW CONCEPTS TIED TO VIDEO TECHNOLOGY WITH CELL PHONES....VIDEO PHONES AND TO PRODUCING A RANDOM IMAGE ON EVERYONE IN THE THEATRES WRIST BAND THROUGH A LASER BEAM.....HOW THE HELL WOULD I EXPECT TO SEE THE WORD "INSPIRE" PICKED AT RANDOM....... TO APPEAR ON MY WRIST ?
THOUGHT..... PREPARATION.....PRODUCTION EN MASS INTO THIS SHOW AND IT SEEMS TO GO ON ETERNALLY....YES....I .HATE TO THINK OF BEING DEAD AND UNABLE TO ENJOY SHOWS LIKE THIS !
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS BUT I NOTICED COPPERFIELD HANDS ARE EXTREMELY LARGE....LONG FINGERS....I THINK GENETICALLY HE CAN THANK HIS PARENTS AGAIN FOR THIS....HELPS THE IMAGE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE PALMS OF THOSE HANDS ?
OUTSIDE THE HOLLYWOOD THEATRE A COLOSSAL BRONZE STATUE OF COPPERFIELD AND SOME OF HIS SUPER CONQUESTS....THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.....THE GREAT WALL....THE ROLLER COASTER ESCAPE....WHEN YOU GO ....GIVE THIS SOME TIME.
THE 85 MINUTE SHOW FLOWED LIKE LIGHTENING.....A TAD LATE AND THE AUDIO COULD BE A SHADE STRONGER....COPPERFIELD IS AD LIBBING AND MAKING OFF THE CUFF COMMENTS THAT ARE CLEVER AND TIMELY AND WE ALL NEED TO HEAR THEM !
A WORLD AUDIENCE....PEOPLE FROM EVERYWHERE IN THIS SELLOUT....SOME EVEN FROM NEPTUNE BUT EVEN THEY GOT MOST OF THE JIST OF WHAT WAS GOING ON !
LOTS OF AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION AT RANDOM....THE TRANSITION TO STAGE A WELL OILED MACHINE.....COPPERFIELD SHOULD BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF HIS PRODUCTION TEAM....HE HAS GOT LOTS OF FOLKS EMPLOYED AND THATS GOOD FOR EVERYONE.
ACTUALLY IT IS ALMOST A NEGATIVE TO WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD SEE....HOW CAN ANY STRUCTURE OF WORDS CONVEY WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN A REAL LIVE THEATRE ?
WE WERE FORTUNATE TO SIT IN THE FRONT ROW ALLOWING ME TO QUESTION EVERY ILLUSION UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL AND LOOK FOR "HOW DID HE DO THAT".....AFTERWARD WE HAVE NO ANSWERS.....JANET, MY WIFE SAID " I DON'T WANT TO KNOW"....SHE ALSO COMMENTED THAT SHE ENJOYED WATCHING CHILDREN IN THE AUDIENCE ENJOYING THEMSELVES....ME TOO ! THE JOY ON A CHILDS FACE IS IMMEASURABLE !
IF ITS NOT ENOUGH.... THE FINALE HAD 12 AUDIENCE MEMBERS ON A IRON PLATFORM HOLDING FLASHLIGHTS COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR AND REAPPEAR AT THE BACK OF THE THEATRE....TRY THIS ONE AT HOME !
AND....AND .....AND...IF THATS NOT ENOUGH....COPPERFIELD DOES A MEET AND GREAT AFTER THE SHOW.....HOW FIRST CLASS TO BE SO NICE...SO POLITE...........AMONG MY VERY FEW HEROES ARE KEN BURNS...ITZAK PERLMAN....DUSTIN HOFFMAN..................DAVID COPPERFIELD....YOU, SIR...... HAVE JOINED THIS ELITE GROUP !
NOT ENOUGH GOOD CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS SHOW !
DAVID COPPERFIELD THANK YOU SHARING THIS PLANET WITH ME !
