David Copperfield Las Vegas Review: Legendary Illusionist

When you think of magic, David Copperfield is one of the first names that comes to mind.

For years he has been wowing audiences with his illusions at his show in Las Vegas.

Does it live up to the hype? Here’s my review.

The David Copperfield Las Vegas magic show performs at the David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand Resort & Casino on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip.

David Copperfield is a master magician and known as one of the greatest illusionists of our time.

Be prepared for a show full of great illusions and performances.

What To Expect At David Copperfield

David Copperfield takes classic magic tricks and adds his twist to make it a unique experience. It was incredible watching such a skilled entertainer up close.

As someone who loved magic shows growing up, I can enjoy the expertise it takes to pull off a trick that has been performed many times. 

Beyond the usual tricks that are performed, he incorporates some of his famous illusions.

Of course, the tricks are performed on a smaller scale. However, the tricks are nonetheless impressive and will leave you amazed. 

Part of what makes this activity so enticing are the stories told by David Copperfield throughout the show.

While he’s stunning you with magic that will make you ask, “Is this real?” he’ll be detailing stories of his achievements and experiences.

Audience participation is considerable at each show. There’s a chance to be called on stage – or have a friend, or family member called on stage during the performance.

Each time you’re lulled into a false sense of security, you’ll see someone sawed in half or another dangerous stunt.

Even if you’ve been to a magic show or a David Copperfield show before, I highly recommend attending this David Copperfield Las Vegas show.

He is known to tweak his performances randomly, meaning there’s a high possibility of seeing a different show each time you watch.

This is true for those who have purchased tickets for two shows in the same week. 

David Copperfield Theater

Part of the appeal of the David Copperfield show is the smaller theater that the shows are performed in.

The interior of the venue is intentionally kept cozy to allow viewers to see his magic up close and personal. Not only this, but it allows for those attending to feel more included in the show. 

Often when theaters are larger for magic shows, it can feel impersonal or cold. You feel as if you’re right in the middle of the action here. This is especially true if you opt for stage-side seating.

Both tables and chairs are available inside the theater, making ordering drinks during the show easy.

Food is not available during the show. However, there are plenty of restaurant options both along the Las Vegas Strip and inside the MGM Grand.
