Copperfield in Brussels

I've been reading this resume regarding Copperfield in Paris. (it's in French ... click Here)
I couldn't agree more!
I was VERY dissapointed by the show. First of all i've seen Copperfield in Vegas a few years ago, i think 4 years ago. The show i saw was in Brussels/Belgium. It was for 95% the same show i saw in Vegas.
I've always had respect for Copperfield but also always said that the pricing to his shows are exagerated. If someone has the opportunity to pay a lot and see a little or pay nothing and watch GOOD on TV i preffer TV... anyway i disgress...

My biggest dissapointment was in the middle of the show when Copperfield asked us the watch a small 3 minutes film.
It was NOT 3 minutes but close to 10... and it was only about Copperfield being the greatest, the biggest, all his world records, all his awards etc... I AM SORRY, but we do NOT pay so hat an artist shows a movie about how great he is, we pay so that you SHOW us that you deserve these awards and merrits... Unfortunatly I found Copperfield's show not interesting, it had NO energy, the tone was vulgar, and with the translations to Duth and French lost all the humour...

I also think that everybody can have a bad day... but when i've seen his show in Brussels, Vegas and read that in Paris it was exactly the same... In brussels at another timing also... I start to wonder....
