It's Magic Baby

Posted by Kimberly Sherman May 12, 2008 12:10 PM

I once taught with a man who would lose patience with his relentlessly questioning daughter of 5 years. After myriad attempts to appease the daughter's questions, he would eventually finish off her questioning with, "It's magic baby." Her eyes would roll up and around, and her look of puzzlement would either dissipate or aggravate with daddy's answer. While this has nothing to do with the event post, I cannot hear the word "magic'' without thinking of this, now a parent myself to at least one who never stops with the 'why's?' That being said, the Providence Performing Art Center hosts a night of magic with the legendary David Copperfield and his Grand Illusion show tomorrow night.

Different from all other magical performances, Copperfield attempts to take one's dreams, or nightmares, and make them become reality?! Grand Illusion promises to break new ground making magic art, as it takes a turn toward the intimate and personal. Copperfield has back-to-back shows at 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. and tickets are $32, $42, and $52.
