The maestro. The legend. The king.

It's Malaysia Day, yes a holiday.

So I was just sitting in my room surfing the theory11 site, then I saw this video of David Copperfield performing on the finale of America's Got Talent yesterday. He performed the Shadow Box and Squeeze Box. His magic was full of charm.

He is the most famous and successful magician in the world. He's for real. His magic is a mystery. He lead people into believing that spirits, ghosts helped him to achieve his illusions. Till this day, few can explain how walked through the Great Wall of China, how he made the Statue of Liberty disappear. I know I can't.

As a card magic pratitioner, I look up to him a lot. Although he was not my major inspiration in magic, he showed all of us what a single man can achieve with passion, hardwork, and determination. A phenomenon.

I wiki-ed his name and guess what? Today's his birthday! 16 Septermber. What are the odds? Yes it's 1 in 365. So if you think of it, Malaysia's having a holiday on David Copperfield's birthday!

Have fun people.
