Copperfield, 44, has redefined magic with his sleight-of-hand artistry and has expanded the horizons and boundaries of his craft. Not surprisingly, he has been dubbed "our era's giant of magic" by the New York Times. He launched his professional career years ago at the Pagoda's C'est Si Bon supper club in Honolulu.
