David Copperfield is described as “…an eyewitness to one of the airplane attacks on the World Trade Center from his Manhattan condominium” in a Las Vegas Review-Journal article. Copperfield cancelled the first four shows of his MGM Grand run because he was unable to fly to Las Vegas. The show, which was scheduled to resume on Monday night was going to be an improvised one due to many of the props being in transit or in storage. The featured illusion of the current show, “Unknown Dimension,” where he sends an audience member Hawaii had to be replaced until the equipment arrives from his warehouse in Mexico City.

We could only do it if we got 16 people in – any less and we’d have to rope in the usherettes to be the volunteers for his act. But we were quite happy with 16; it seemed like a lot. Eleven wasn’t any good and 20 was amazing.” Wood performs at the Royal Albert Hall for the next week. To read the Sep. 18 story by Rachel Cooke titled “The funny thing is…” click: HERE.(9/19) |
