...I saw his act in Las Vegas two years ago.

He is a great entertainer and the show was terrific.

He did a bit about an old car and his dad - the car appears and his parents stand up in the audience and wave.

His finale was a bit involving a remote desert island and a person from the audience appearing there and back.

A stout friend of his was introduced at the end in the front row - Jason Alexander.

We were behind Alexander and his son in the taxi line after the show and chatted with him. He said he is an amateur magician and had seen the show 3 times but couldn't figure out how he did the desert island bit. And those weren't Copperfield's parents but actors.
