A Little Bit of Magic with David Copperfield
LOOK, IT'S THE PALM SPRINGS SAVANT ON STAGE IN LAS VEGAS!
The illusion, or magic trick was that David Copperfield made all ten of us disappear right before the eyes of the entire audience. For the audience members watching, one moment there we all were seated in front of them on stage, and the next moment, we were gone, But suddenly, the very next moment, the audience saw us appear in the back of the theatre, behind all the seats. Later we were able to see the trick recorded earlier on a video monitor back stage and I have to say, it looked quite impressive to those sitting in the audience. Of course now I know how the trick was done, but David Copperfield himself swore us all to secrecy, so my lips shall remain sealed forever. It was a fun experience, a night I shall not forget anytime soon.
above: Here I am, celebrating with some wine that same night. For some reason I wasn't wearing my glasses, which is nice for a change. Anyway, thanks for stopping by today!

Oh, I'll bet yhou learned a lot on that trick. I wish you could tell us more about it, but I understand. Someone's livelihood is connected to it.

Oh, you'd whisper it to me, wouldn't you?
did he make you sign something? Because if he didn't I'm pretty sure being sworn to secrecy isn't binding...
David came to Alaska a few years ago-- I was about to have a baby and couldn't go, but everyone who went loved him!
Ah, but you possess the secret of making a bottle of wine disappear. That's perhaps the tallest pour I've ever seen. Egads.
My friend Mary saw him in Vegas last year. During the act he showed home videos of his family. Mary didn't see the magic in it.
I'm grumpy with the hay fever.

Hey Ron great romps as usual and wondered since you are a magic fan and familiar with Vegas Magic as well, have you see the new Chris Angel Mind Freak Show that recently opened in Vegas? I forgot which hotel but think it is Ceasars? Have you ever met him or seen him perform live? He is quite avant garde? even as magicians go but does some incredible tricks on his television show I have caught by chance, or at least seen parts of some shows. Thanks again for sharing and Sheldon sure is sheek (intentionally misspelled), with his new doo, very cool companion for sure!
