Pippin had an opening number called Magic to Do, and Jules Fisher, the brilliant lighting designer lit it. Tony Walton did all of the sets. As a kid I thought, Wow, I'm seeing onstage what a MGM musical would look like live. It was that good, and it was directed by Bob Fosse.
David Copperfield
I find revealing the secrets of magic quite reprehensible.
David Copperfield
