David Copperfield puts a new stamp on the phrase "tricks of the trade." Mesmerizing audiences for over 20 years, Copperfield keeps it fresh with dazzling illusions and bigger and better tricks.

Copperfield is most famous for making the Statue of Liberty "disappear" in front of a live audience of over 50 million, "flying" over the Grand Canyon, "walking through" the Great Wall of China, plunging over Niagara Falls , and escaping from Alcatraz . Making a stop in Los Angeles on his world tour, Copperfield has opened up a complete new case of wonders. It's no wonder his show was packed to the brim.

"David Copperfield: An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion," is an amazing, life-changing event. Using his astounding talents, Copperfield appears to reach into the audience's minds and hearts for a feast of wish fulfillment. What if you could win the lottery? Travel to your perfect place? Own your dream car? These are just some of the claims that Copperfield does in "Illusions" And audiences react in astonishment.

"For magic to be relevant," explains Copperfield, "It has to evolve so it keeps up with, or even surpasses, the best film and theater. I want to base my work on what people really dream about."

Indeed, within "Illusions," he succeeds.

Audiences are stunned as in front of a crowd of thousands, their very imaginings come true, live and in three dimension.

Following are parts of the show:

In keeping with his theme, the first part of the show is called " Reunion ." A member of the audience is selected to take a trip to reconnect with a loved one. While standing on a crane, Copperfield suspended himself over the volunteer. The audience member then vanished, returning a few moments later within the context of their dream! As the illusion took hold, a hushed silence and then thunderous applause filled the room.

Copperfield then moved on to "Killer." Not just an illusionist, Copperfield is able to perform sleight-of-hand. And he did - with a lethal scorpion! It was a true test of Copperfield's knowledge and dexterity. Moreover, it was thrilling to watch.

Copperfield subsequently got a piece of clothing from two female volunteers and "imagined" himself into the Victoria Secret Catalog. Talk about wish fulfillment! The humor in this trick highly gratified the audience. Copperfield then went back to his main strength: Illusion. He seemingly melted himself until his 6'1" frame shrunk into a bite size version of himself that could fit in a little shoebox.

Other parts of the show include a brain buster technique for winning the lottery, walking through solid steel, and the vanishing and then subsequent reappearing of thirteen audience members within unexpected places.

All in all, this show was a stunning display of illusion and magic. Copperfield continues to evolve and amaze his audiences. He is truly a living legend.
