Just read this on People.com:
Quote: An employee of David Copperfield was hospitalized Wednesday with a broken arm after one of the illusionist's tricks went awry on stage.

Wow, that is freaky. Nothing saying how the assistant is doing? That, I'd like to know. I didn't know DC was still doing The Fan. Last time I saw him, he didn't do it. It is nice to see he is bringing back the classic of DC back into the show.
Hope the assistant gets better. Best,

While our Jet Turbine is different than Copperfield's fan...it nonetheless does have real potential danger to it. Bottom line is, illusion or not....you still have giant blades spinning, and there is enough weight to them that they are NOT going to let anything stop them from spinning. Fortunately, Kristen has only had her elbows graze the blades.
I hope the guy is doing alright. Kevin & Kristen

I hear you there, Kevin. I remember watching you guys standing on stage getting the gust of wind. A slight wrong move can be very dangerous. There is danger in a lot of illusion. And, this illusion is one to take seriously.

...I'm guessing this means that he won't be performing this effect, at least for a little bit.
Seriously, I hope the guy is doing alright, though. It's always a shame to see anyone hurt in the course of magic. -Nick PS: Do we know if this guy is "the guy" in this illusion? |

Living Illusions, I advise you to stop the Chinese Water Torture Cell. That is, if you want to still be "Living Illusions."

Penn and Tellers Bullet Catch is STILL the most amazing thing I've ever seen!!!! I know there's "something" to it, knowing basic bullet catch principles, but they just fry me with it! AWESOME!!!!
I do the SJ and the Spike Roulette in my show, so I'm glad to know that I'm doing 2 of the 10 most dangerous. Very cool!

Interesting list- gives some insight into the mind of the layman. (Has anyone been seriously injured while being sawn in half*?)

I always keep that in mind because I had the same experience in my illusions during a show, even though I did it like thousand times. Nothing is impossible, just like magician's motto. Hope he's getting better.
