D.C.

I have always thought of David Copperfield as a great magician . He was a big inspiration for many people . His shows,broadcasted in early 90's,have often persuaded many then-youngsters to start learning magic . I was actually one of them . I remember the time when I was a little girl,wearing ponytail and glasses with thick lenses,and dreaming about being D.C. While other girls were playing with dolls,I was 'performing magic' in front of the family,dressed up like a,well...circus freak .

What I like the most about him,is his sense of humour and distance to himself and to work . ( just take a look at the 'Slow motion duck' video ! )

The other thing I admire,is the fact that his demonstrations are timeless and immortal . Even now,at the age of advanced technology,they seem to be fresh and still amazing . They were entertaining audience 20 years ago,and they are doing it now . Will they amaze viewers in the next twenty years ? I'm sure they will .

Let's look at his 'Interlude' performance . To be honest,it's not my favourite version of this trick,( for me,Siegfied & Roy's demonstration was more mind-blowing . ) but the music ( Peter Gabriel's 'Lay your hands on me ' ) and the way he perform,makes it really unforgettable . Enjoy .
