For those who missed it, here's David Copperfield's appearance from last night on 'The Colbert Report': http://tinyurl.com/6kd5efz
And Stephen's sign-off trick: http://tinyurl.com/3uhn6ok
It's all in the reflexes.

And on a related note, this Colbert report on a substitute teacher in Land O' Lakes, FL fired for doing a magic trick: http://tinyurl.com/484yyn

So David is "The King of Liars"? No he is an honest deceiver as he calls himself an Illusionist. Therefore he is not lying. Even to use a metaphor is lying.
Colbert wasn't very friendly to his guest. Put Dave on the defense for most of the interview. The interview was to pitch the book, but hardly a word was metioned on it save for the references as to why magic works.... Got Gut Magic Anyone? |

Colbert was exactly as he is to all his guests. Colbert is playing a character on his show. It's a bit and it's funny. Everyone going on the show is aware of this.

I'm just stating that it wasn't very entertaining to me. I found Colbert be obnoxious and somewhat annoying.
Wasn't my cup of tea...no worries. It's just one man's opinion. |

Keep in mind, Alan, that Colbert's show is a comedy show. You cannot take the stories as legitimate journalism. They shoot and edit them for comedy, not truth, often coaching the "man-on-the-street" people on what to say. The woman interviewed stated he was not fired for doing magic at the school, and you'll note they never let you hear her reason. It's a gag.

I must say, though that the Enemy Within Substitute Sorcerer was laugh out loud funny!
I don't want some magician teacher wannabee "manipulating" my daughter either! Are you serious? I mean really? The parents need to go back to school eh? Maybe the town name should read, Land O' Flakes? Not to alienate myself to the rest of Fl. of course. I totally concur with Mr. Munro sentiments. Now bring back that darn toothpick! I'm certain the whole skit was tongue in cheek and not accurate journalism, but sensationalism....I wasn't fooled for a second Illucifer..thanks for the links! |

I've had to deal with hillbillies in Michigan, who believe everything that their mentally ill preacher tells them. Luckily, in my neck of the woods, the nut jobs have little influence, except on politicians. |

When did Copperfield transition to the hairpiece?

I can't say that I understand the concept of the book he was promoting, but I think he did well considering the format of the program. DC's a class act.

I'm also a substitute teacher, and I frequently do magic while subbing. I haven't had complaints, but it could happen. There are a lot of nitwits out there. I've done table hopping and had people say no thanks, explaining that it's against their religion.
