The Legendary Illusionist - David Copperfield

* David Copperfield vanished an airplane surrounded by a ring of spectators.

* He made the Statue of Liberty disappear before a live audience of New Yorkers and a home television audience estimated at over 50 million.

* During his eighth annual special, Copperfield walked through the Great Wall of China, as thousands of live spectators looked on.

* He levitated himself across the Grand Canyon.

* He became the first person to escape from Alcatraz. (A prison located on an island, surrounded by cold waters and strong sea currents)

* He escaped from an imploding building and survived a plunge over the precipice of Niagara Falls.

* Copperfield made a seventy-ton Orient Express train car vanish in mid-air above a circle of witnesses.

* He defied gravity, unlocking the mystery of human flight, in his milestone illusion, "Flying."

* In "Fires Of Passion," one of Copperfield's television specials, he hung ten storey high with burning ropes wearing a straight jacket above a bed of flaming spikes - the escape that not even Houdini would attempt.

* Although perhaps best known for the "grand illusion," Copperfield is also a master of pure sleight-of-hand. In "Fires of Passion," he destroyed and restored the famous Honus Wagner baseball card, worth well over a million dollars, in front of its admittedly nervous owner, hockey great Wayne Gretsky.

* The average time it takes Copperfield to create a new illusion, from conception to performance is two and a half years. "Flying" took over seven years to develop.

* He has been knighted by the French government, receiving the Chevalier of Arts and Letters and has received an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters from Fordham University.

* Copperfield owns the International Museum and Library of the Conjuring Arts, the world's largest repository of antiquarian books, magic, illusions, and other ephemera on magic and the allied arts.

* He has performed seven times for Presidents of the United States.

* In 1995, Copperfield was given a star and inducted into the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame.

* Copperfield has been honored with a wax likeness of him in Madame Tussaud's in London.

And yes he's coming to Singapore to perform after 6 long years! I don't want to miss this chance to see him perform live~

I've always been fascinated by magics since I was a child. (even to the point that my ambition at one time was to be a magician, haha.)

And D.C. is the most famous of them all... really surprise to see him coming to Singapore. Best of all the tickes pricing are comparable to normal concert prices (I was expecting higher)... He'll also be performing some of the most amazing (and deadly illusions) at the upcoming show...



Don't wanna miss it... but this kind of show watch alone very boring. Need a bigger group.

Been finding company, but all give me lame answers like "you treat me then I go". Neh Neh...
