Im watching Masters of Illusion as i type this, watching i believe Kevin James.
While i respect any magicians act and i am enjoying the show very much. What upsets me about what i am watching is that Kevin James performing the floating paper into rose effect...which is fine, except that David Copperfield, too many years ago performing the effect with the exact exact expressions and motions that copperfield did.
Now i do effects ALOT of magicians do, and effects other magicians have created but at some point or another i try to make them somewhat original or change up patter or the motions. But i am very dissapointed to see someone who is labeled as a "Master" of Illusion while they are doing something quote on quote "Word for word" the way another has already done it.
UNLESS of course Kevin James is the creator of this, which in that case Copperfield is at fault.
But yea, the show is great, just did not like that little minor thing that it basically is the same exact way Copperfield did it, with basically almost no changes at all.
