David Copperfield will be performing in Memphis in February. Thinking of buying tickets to see him. Has anyone seen him? Tickets are around $50.00 each.

Hopefully he will avoid jail until then. :shocked:

saw him live a LOOONG time ago when he recorded that flying special... excellent show, but they kept having to reset the camera angles so it kinda dragged on at times.

Overall, well worth the money.

I saw him at the MGM Grand last September. Good show. I had always wanted to see him. We sat in the 2nd row of tables from the stage. Really fun. I was able to figure out the major part of the beach trick and a few of the other ones. I was hoping he'd do the one where he cuts himself in half while standing, then his upper body moves around on his legs, but he didn't do it. Must be due to the close proximity of the stage to the audience.

I also saw Lance Burton and Penn and Teller during the trip. All were equally entertaining.

FBI investigation
On October 18, 2007, the website TMZ.com reported that David Copperfield was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The raid reportedly stemmed from an ongoing case in Seattle. KTNV-TV Channel 13 in Las Vegas reported that 12 agents stormed a warehouse belonging to Copperfield. The agents seized a computer hard drive, a digital camera system and nearly $US2 million ($2.25 million) in cash.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal printed a story confirming the raid at the warehouse in an investigation of possible sexual misconduct by the illusionist, citing a source with knowledge of the investigation.[10] Copperfield?s accuser, a 21 year old Seattle woman, claimed she was raped, assaulted and threatened by Copperfield while alone with him on his private island in the Bahamas, described as a $50 million private retreat at Musha Cay, in a tiny string of white-sand islands 85 miles southeast of Nassau, Bahamas.[11] The young woman told Seattle police, and later the FBI, that Copperfield raped and struck her during her two days on the island, said sources familiar with her allegations. She said that, afterwards, Copperfield threatened her, telling her she'd better keep quiet, and then escorted her onto a plane.[11] A rape kit was assembled, and a federal source has confirmed that some of her clothing was taken into evidence.

The case is under the FBI?s jurisdiction because the accuser is a U.S. citizen and did not report the incident while staying in the Bahamas.[12]

Copperfield later issued a statement through his attorney denying all allegations of misconduct.

I saw him once from front row seats through a hook-up in his crew. It was really cool. If we hadn't gotten lost on the way, a girl with us would have been used as the audience volunteer.

He puts on a great show. When he appeared in the middle of the audience on a motorcycle - 0_o We were all shocked. Well worth the $$$

Same here! Do you remember which day you went?
To the OP: It was expensive but I really enjoyed the show.
