He is still the best. I have had a crush on him since i was 11. My dad took me to see him perform once and it was amazing. Glad to see after all these years hes still doing amazing things and thinks of the world as such a marvelous place

He answers so much better, full of detail on the interviews these days, than on 90's. I think the thing that people tend to forget about Copperfield is that before him, Illusions were generally speaking meaning tricks with the animals. But he build his career based on Illusions, by not using animals at all. It's really interesting that by cutting the Thing off that "makes the category", he becomed stronger on Illusion category than anyone before, by re -inventing what is considered to be an Illusion.
