Copperfield
continued from page 11A
Desperately clinging to the medi
um that made him famous, Copper
field made excessive use of television.
There were cameramen on stage for
half the show, projecting the close-up
effects onto a movie screen for every
one to see. That’s acceptable up to a
point, but the illusionist bestowed
more importance on projected im
ages than the real people.
When he had a volunteer stand
ing next to him, Copperfield talked
to the image of the volunteer on the
movie screen instead of speaking to
her directly. By placing so much
emphasis on television images, he
undermined the live nature of
his performance.
Copperfield is renowned for his

grand finales, and, with sentimenta
music blaring, the magician amazec
the audience by magically trans
porting himself and a spectator to ar
island off the coast of Thailand. The
two vanished from a thin platforn
hanging over the audience and reap
peared on a sunny beach via a live
satellite feed. To “prove” that the)
were really there, Copperfielc
brought evidence, including a pho
tograph of people from the audience
and initials written by a spectator or
his arm.
In retrospect, Copperfield’s finale
seems ludicrous. But he made ii
convincing, as only a veteran per
former could. For one wonderfu
moment, we believed that he reall)
was on that beach in Thailand.

Guide
continued from page 11A
Now, what guidebook would be
complete without pictures? “The
Guide” takes an interesting ap
proach to its graphic side by using
illustrations rather than photo
graphs. While it is odd thinking
someone took the time to draw
some of the images (with great at
tention to detail), they are more at
tuned to the book’s light-hearted ap
proach, where photographs could
seem more posed and clinical.
As if “The Guide” didn’t give
enough, the glossary, like a dessert
treat, humorously defines many sex
ual terms and some things that come
straight out of left field such as this
gem: “Wanker — name that the
Queen of England calls Andy and
Charlie when they are being lazy or
bad.” Always good for a laugh.
What would you expect to pay for
this marvelous product? $40?
$60?? Gashing in at $19.95, “The
Guide” is worth every penny and
then some. It can be found at most
bookstores or bought online at
www.goofyfootpress.com.
