LAS VEGAS — David Copperfield is performing a show after the show backstage at his eponymous theater at MGM Grand. It’s a meet and greet for a small group of VIPs and invited guests. Many are tourists and conventioneers, wowed after seeing Copperfield perform for the first time.
A few magicians, past and present, have also filed into the theater’s exclusive hideaway.
One guest is a regal lady with flowing gray hair. She’s in Vegas glam, wearing a gold-sequined dress. She is in a wheelchair, scooted along by a caregiver, moving gradually toward Copperfield. The group splits to create a passage, a scene that plays out like a scaled-down version of Moses parting the Red Sea.
