A word of warning… Don’t watch his TV specials if you plan on seeing him live. It tends to make the live one seem like a waste of a lot of your money, since the tricks are EXACTLY the same. In retrospect, “duh”, but didn’t really think it through. OTOH, his merchandise is very affordable.
(OT: And KITH sucked live too. Last year was a bad year.)
He’s also coming here to the Norfolk, VA in February. I’d love to go see him, but unfortunaly, I’m going to be in South Korea on business then. pouty face. I’ve always liked his TV specials, even though they are a bit flashy sometimes.
I cannot find a link to it, but several years ago (around 1996) I saw an HBO special with a guy that did variouse card tricks. I was very impressed. Mostly because what he did wasn’t so much tricks, as just being very familiar with cards. He could shuffle a stack, and his fingers were so sensitive they could count each card as it went by…simply amazing. Wish I could remember his name.
haha, dang! you could be one of dem tv magic queers!

David Copperfield is, indeed, a sexy, sexy magic-man.
David Blaine has become a sort of escape artist as of late…
But his sleight of hand stuff is spot on.
Small hijack: One of my favorite TV lines from the first incarnation of Larroquette. Two police officers, one a heavy male, are sitting at the bus station snack bar.
Officer Eve Eggers: Your getting so big, David Copperfield couldn’t get you out of that uniform!
Officer Adam Hampton: (wistfully) Oh yes he could.
Officer Eve Eggers: You said that out loud.
