My dream came true last night at the national arts centre in ottawa where david Copperfield was peforming,
so I was sitting maybe 11 rows from the front and a man dressed in black approached me and asked me if I was interested in participating in the show of course I replied yes and he then escorted me back stage. what was going to happen waa this, I was going to hold on yo a bucket that he was going to give to me, he would then procced to disapear a duck and would thgen reapear inside the bucket I was holding, the secret had to be disclosed to me in order for the illusion to work. we would then perform it again , becuase someone in the audience would ask us to again, but this time in sloooow motion, andb this was a comedy bit where a backstage helper would run onto the stage take the duck( now fake) nad stuff in violently into the bucket unsuccesfully for maybe 10 seconds with david patitng him on the back while he was doing it. I was instructed to be in awe looking at david while he waved his hands and then he would make the REAL duck apear in the bucket. I would then be in awe of david and in slow motion run off the stage with my arm flailing every wear and then just before exiting turn and give him a bigg thunbs up. The guy who had escorted me back asked me to run through it a couple of times and showed me a clip on a video ipod of what it should look like. he then put a small penguin sticker on my back so david would be able to find me during the show. I think it went very well I defintly really exagerated my slow mo run and a great thumbs up which I really did want to give him. The guy that had asked me to help came back after the show and said that was the best one hes seem in awhile and shook my hand.i only wish I could have been part of the group that got to dissapear, even though I have a very very good idea of how it works, I know they get to meet him after the show and are sworn to secrecy. but I'm sooo glad I got to be apart of it the rest of the show was spectacular to say the least, making cars apear, walking through steel, and teleporting to perth australia, itll be a night ill rember forever, cheers |

I though they wouold ask me too, but they didn't ask. but it was fairly obvious to me as to how it was done when I felt inside the bucket that appears to the eye to be empty. I was unsure of hoe he actually made it dissapear but I know how he got it into the bucket and the structure of the bucket. the main idea of the bit was comedyso maybe he didn't really care? I don't know, I would hvae been happy to sign one though
