About

David Copperfield on Tour

A living legend who sells out arenas around the globe when not at the Las Vegas theater that bears his name, David Copperfield is one of the most revered and successful performers in the history of show business. Over the course of his six-decade career, the master magician has sold more tickets than any other solo entertainer, including Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.

David Copperfield's passion for magic, ingenuity as an innovator and ability to astonish are all trademarks of a career that has included Emmy-winning television specials, hit Broadway productions and countless performances. Among his spectacular and iconic feats are walking through the Great Wall of China, making a seemingly impossible escape from Alcatraz prison and — in what was called the Illusion of the Century — causing the Statue of Liberty to disappear in front of a live audience on Liberty Island and millions of TV viewers worldwide.

Viewers can experience his unique brand of magic and storytelling in David Copperfield: An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusions, an entertaining and engaging showcase of his art and craft featuring illusions that often take years to develop and perfect. Widely acclaimed as the greatest illusionist of our time, he continues to wow audiences on his world tours and at his shows inside the David Copperfield Theater at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Who is David Copperfield?

David Copperfield's career in magic began when he was 10 years old, performing in his New Jersey neighborhood as Davino the Boy Magician. By the age of 16, he was a member of the Society of American Magicians and teaching magic at New York University.

Copperfield's decades-long string of top-rated, Emmy-winning television specials began in 1977, where he performed his unprecedented feats and illusions before TV audiences.

When not performing live at such storied locations as the White House and in his own Broadway productions, Copperfield has shared his signature combination of storytelling, stagecraft and magic with audiences worldwide. First presented in 2003, David Copperfield: An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion toured venues and sold-out arenas across the US and the world. It regularly runs at the David Copperfield Theater at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

    Unspectacular Magic, Poor Choreography

    by sunnyray on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    The magic was unspectacular. The choreography poor. ....and when you have a performer so full of himself...you notice these deficiencies!

    Copperfiedl at Tilles

    by JayNS on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    The show was exciting at times, but mostly slow moving. Copperfield lacked the energy that I have associated with him in the past. Most illusions were fairly basic and easy to figure out. I paid top dollar for the two worst seats in the house. Lower priced tickets would have given me an unobstructed view of the stage.

    Magic at its finest.

    by Solarflere on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    David Copperfield is the best magician of our time. Its not just the magic, its the entire presentation. He made car appear on stage in front of all of us and made a crowd of people disappear and reappear at the end of the auditorium. The way he engaged the audience was just brilliant. A must see show. Once in a lifetime experience.

    David Copperfield...Cool!

    by Sunny39 on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    I saw David Copperfield for the first time last night and thought he put on a great show. He was funny, very interactive with the audience and of course, what he is able to pull off is totally amazing! I would definitely recommend seeing him if you have the chance.

    by booboo321 on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    The illusions David Copperfield performed were outstanding and amazing. He kept me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out how he performed his spellbinding magic. I only wish the show was longer!

    Worth seeing one time

    by cooldog on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    After purchasing tickets for this show, I was a bit apprehensive that it might not be very good, as I read some very negative reviews about David’s Las Vegas shows. Many people knock David because he is a narcissist, but I really do not care about that. So, my summary of this show is as follows: You do not get a lot of bang for your buck as a good portion of the show is films clips of past “tricks” and other media coverage of David, but after seeing the half dozen or so “tricks” in this show, you simply can’t deny that he is among the best magicians/illusionists out there. Some portions of this show were simply outstanding. Perhaps Chris Angel is better at this point in time, but David still has what it takes. Would I pay to see David again? Probably not, but I am glad I went to this show.

    Amazing & Baffling

    by Anonymous on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    2nd time I have seen his show. This time I was in the fourth row instead of further back and I still can't figure out how he pulls it off those tricks. He engages the audience in the illusions and one is more amazing than the next. How he makes a full-sized antique car appear from nowhere is unbelieveable and the bits with the Duck are cute and mystifying. If you want to leave someplace totally entertained and scratching your head for a week this is the show to see.

    by vide027 on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    excellent show

    by mindstream on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    He's a bit full of himself, and the show is a bit short. But the guy is amazing, and well worth seing.

    Illusions great, not targeted for young kids

    by fullman on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    There is absolutely no doubt that David Copperfield is an amazing illusionist. A trouble with the performance is that it is designed to appeal to adults and kids simultaneously and doesn't quite pull it off. At the event I saw (attending with three children ages 10 and under), the show started nearly 15 minutes late and began with a video introduction to David Copeprfield that was far too long. According to my watch, David Copperfield did not appear on stage untl 25 minutes after the scheduled start of the performance. Most of the kids (and adults) in the audience were quite antsy by the time the show started. The initial video montage is a bit too adult-oriented (including some swear words) for the kids in the audience. Given that the show I attended started at 5:30 on a weekday, it was clearly designed to attract a young audience versus the 8:30 show which would be expected to attract an older crowd. One easy modification to the show would be simply to have two different video montages depending on whether it is a daytime or evening show. Another slight criticism is that the show also is remarkably similar to the one I saw about half-a-dozen years ago, but that's understandable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the illusions began the audience was engrossed. David Copperfield has a nice rapport with the audience and can make some witty off-the-cuff remarks. Having seen his show a few times (over a 20 year span), I still have absolutely no clue as to how the illusions and tricks are performed. It is particularly impressive that this traveling show is able to pull off such amazing feats in venues that vary significantly from one another as opposed to, say, a permanent location in Las Vegas which could presumably accomodate even more amazing illusions with special lighting, staging, etc. Overall, well worth seeing, especially for those who have never seen an illusionist perform live.

    Copperfield- Not worth money but amazing illusions

    by USSOCCER4EVR on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    You can not take anything away from his talent. The Illusions were magnificent. He appeared out of an empty box on a motorcyle and he made a full size auto appear before your very eyes. His closeup magic was fantastic too. HOWEVER. We (my wife and 2 young children) were dissapointed in the whole production. First off it is NOT meant for young children. In the beginning of the show, they showed a 10 minute film of David Copperfield as pop culture. Clips taken from late night shows and sitcoms included MANY off beat jokes about Copperfileds sexual prowess and him "impregnating" without having sex. There were many children in the audience and this was NOT appropriate for them to hear. It was also a self indulgent film that really was a waste of time. He only really performed illusions for about 1 hour. Not worth $75pp

    INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONS WITH MIX OF SILLINESS (COMEDY). SHOW WAS A LITTLE QUICK, JUST SHORT OF 1 1/2 HOURS. FIRST FIVE MINUTES WAS A VIDEO (CELEBRITIES MENTIONING HIS NAME) AND ANOTHER FIVE MINUTE VIDEO ( A LAS VEGAS ILLUSION) AT THE MID POINT OF SHOW. GOOD SHOW BUT AN EXTRA 1/2 HOUR WITH ONE OR TWO MORE ILLUSIONS WOULD HAVE MADE IT A BETTER SHOW.

    David Copperfield - Entertaining

    by tonystf on 10/1/09Tilles Center Concert Hall - Brookville

    Copperfield seems to have gotten it down to a science, it contained a bit of everything, audience participation, a heckler, a few laughs, the show also included a bit of personal history with clips, photos and a quaint story about his grandfather. Audience participation played a huge role in this show, audience members were chosen to participate in several illusions. A heckler's suggestion to replay an illusion in slow motion was very entertaining. The show was peppered with small tricks, balanced with larger more impressive displays. Overall nothing less than you would expect of the great David Copperfield. Good show.

    David Copperfield

    by NJEDUCATOR74 on 8/4/09David Copperfield - Atlantic City

    I saw David Cooperfield in Atlantic City a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing. It made laugh, cry, it was just a great show! I would recommend seeing him at least once in your lifetime.
