HAVE WE SEEN THE LAST NATIONAL TOUR FROM DAVID COPPERFIELD?

In a recent column, Mike Weatherford talks to David Copperfield about his increased presence at MGM's Hollywood Theater. David is currently scheduled for 40 weeks in the theater this year.

Now that Drew Carey and his band of improv comics are gone with the Super Bowl, the MGM's Hollywood Theatre is basically Copperfield's room.

In spite of that, "you kind of had to hunt to find me. I have no marquee at the MGM," he says. "It'll change more over this next year. You'll see more presence outside the building."

"I'm beginning a very big promotional kind of co-branding with the MGM and you'll see more of that (branding)," he says. "We're sneaking new illusions into the show all throughout the year. Doing out-of-town tryouts in town."
