Magic in Memories David Copperfield is entering his fifth decade of amazing audiences with his largerthan-life illusions. And he’s entering his third decade as one of the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic entertainers. In a town where longevity can be a challenge, that’s pretty ... magical.

A huge part of what makes an act successful in Las Vegas is its ties to the past. The memories we grow up with strongly determine what sells tickets today. And no matter your opinions of magic (it appears to divide most groups straight down the middle),
odds are you have fond memories of at least one of Copperfield’s feats throughout the years—walking through the Great Wall of China in 1986, escaping from Alcatraz prison in 1987, and surviving a fall over Niagara Falls in 1990, just for starters. –Ken Miller
