Anands in America – Part 2
DAVID COPPERFIELD SHOW
When we were in Las Vegas we saw the poster of David Copperfield in MGM Grand Hotel which was diagonally opposite to Hotel Luxor where we were staying.
The four of us (myself, Hema, Raghavan & Sarasija) decided to watch the David Copperfield show and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas.
It was a non-stop show by David Copperfield for 100 minutes. One of the best live performances I have ever seen in my life. He is a very handsome, energetic illusionist who performs every trick with so much ease and comfort. The tricks are so well performed that it seems very simple and easy.
He disappeared from the stage a few times and made a huge motorcycle and car appear on the stage in a jiffy right in front of the eyes of 1500 strong audience. He made 13 people selected from the audience to sit on a platform and they all disappeared from the stage and appeared from the back rows of the auditorium.
He made a small paper dance on his hand and converted that into a beautiful butterfly. Similarly he made a small piece of paper dance on his hand as well as one of the spectator’s hand. He folded that paper into a white rose and by lighting fire at the bottom converted that white paper rose into real red rose.
It was 100 minutes of non-stop magic and illusion which kept the audience totally glued on to the great showman David Copperfield.
This show will remain fresh in my memory for ever and it is no wonder that David Copperfield is the greatest magician of the world.
HOOVER DAM
We visited the Hoover Dam on the way back to Phoenix. The dam is just 28 miles out of Las Vegas and it is an engineering marvel. The bridge that is newly built to bypass the Hoover Dam road to connect Las Vegas to Kingsman is a stunning structure. The bridge connects two mountains and the pillars supporting the bridge runs deep into the valley making it a magnificent sight to look at.
