Day 90 – David Copperfield and Bill Bixby
What???
I’m thankful for David Copperfield and Bill Bixby! Yes, absolutely.
They are the two reasons I wanted to be a magician when I grew up.
The short-lived TV Show “The Magician” starring Bill Bixby was the coolest thing I watched when I was a kid and Copperfield on TV was simply amazing in the ’80s and ’90s as I was becoming a pro. I think it’s time he comes back to TV – I’d love to see it.
I am thrilled to see David getting impassioned about magic as it seems lately. He is, in my opinion, the greatest living magician in the world. He’s earned that title & it’s great to see him enjoying it again.
We saw David Copperfield perform at the MGM Grand in May and he was clearly having a great time performing – and if he wasn’t – he was a great actor. It’s good to see that passion again.
If you get a chance to see David while he’s having fun – do it – I did and it was a great show.
If you’re a stage magician – you’ve been influenced by David, I know I have and I’m grateful for the inspiration.
