Russian Illusionist Challenges Copperfield

Korablev – Cheaper and Better than David?

The Russian Illusionist Korablev says, he can “arrange a show of a higher level than the greatest illusionist of our time David Copperfield on condition that he is provided with a sufficient sum of money.”

That’s a strange challenge but according to Pravda (which means ‘truth’) Jonathan Pendragon has put up the cash. Pendragon “promises to provide financing to Korablev?s performance, all necessary equipment, show organization and says that the house will be always full. In his (Pendragon’s) words, “Las Vegas needs new fresh ideas that are expected to come with the Russian magician.”

Unlike American or Western Magicians, Korbalev does not keep the secrets to his magic secret. He reasons, ?How many people will learn secrets? But all the same, there will be much talk about my tricks. People will say: ?I know what Korablev has invented, I saw it!?

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Korablev proudly claims that he performs the same tricks as Copperfield but for less money. If that is a virtue, then he has reason to be proud. To me, it sounds like the wrong approach to advancing the art of magic.
