SPOTLIGHT

MGM Grand, 866.740.7111

All the Feels If you haven’t been to a David Copperfield show yet, know this: The illusions are grand. They’re not just immensely visual, with lots of lights and dramatic music, they’re often downright emotionally powerful. As much commitment as Copperfield has to his craft, he’s got just as much passion about his past. In bringing his childhood to life, Copperfield enlists the aid of several

“assistants,” including an alien and a dinosaur named “Frank.” We know, we know … it sounds corny, right? But don’t be the least bit surprised when you find a lump in the back of your throat as the illusion unfolds. There are moments during a Copperfield show when you stop thinking about how he does any of the amazing things he does and just ... accept them. Call it believing, call it

what you will—it all feels tangibly real. But mixed in with all this is a genuine sense of fun. Copperfield is very aware of his legend looming large, and takes plenty of potshots at it, keeping the audience laughing and relaxed. And as great as your memories of Copperfield may have been over the years, get ready for a whole new set of them after seeing this show. –Ken Miller
