I went to Foxwoods Casino (in Connecticut) last night to see David Copperfield. Me and my girlfriend got our tickets late, so the seats we had weren't great. But they weren't bad since it wasn't a real big theater. I'd say hundreds of people, maybe 1000. So we sit towards the back in the middle and some guy approaches us. I thought it was about a survey, but he introduces himself and says he works for David Copperfield. He asks if we have ever seen him before and we say no. He then says he needs a male willing to participate in the show and if I wanted to do it, he would move us closer to the stage that way when David Copperfield needed me, he knew where I was.
So I say ok and we move closer. Then he pulls me to the side and we go behind the stage to talk and go over what I had to do. After we finish that, I sit back down. About an hour into the show, he comes out into the audience and picks me. I go up on stage and tell him my name and all that. He makes me put my hands in a bucket to make sure it's empty ..and it was. So then he makes me hold and hug the bucket. So at this point he's in the middle of the stage next to a square box with a duck in the middle of it. He makes the duck disappear and as he does that, I feel it appear in the bucket.
So he walks towards me, opens the bucket and the duck pops out. At this point i'm like oh shit, nice. So he shakes my hand and I walk back to my seat. As i'm walking back, someone yells out (DO IT AGAIN! .. IN SLOW MOTION!). I was told that was going to happen, so I go back and stand where I had to before. He pretty much does it all again (in slow motion) and this time when I walked down the stairs to my seat, I had to walk in slow motion. That was the part I didn't wanna fuck up, but apparantly I did a good job.
The show was good though, I really enjoyed it. He definitely did some shit that made me ask "is that possible?". So after the show, we go to get some ice cream in the casino and there must have been like 10 different people that recognized me. Some said "there's matt" and others said like "there's slowmotion matt!" and other shit. I thought that was funny as fuck. Especially after a conversation I had with one guy who told his kids to take a picture and get my autograph cause I was famous.
What are the odds i'd get fucking picked out of that many people though?
