David Copperfield Las Vegas residency to end amid Epstein files mention

"For 25 years now, I've been fortunate to headline at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. My last performance at MGM will be on April 30th, and I'm excited to announce what's next soon thereafter. Copperfield added that it is the largest project I've ever tackled, and the most challenging, too."

"Magic teaches us that often the things that other dismiss as impossible are not only possible but within our grasp. My journey began as a kid in New Jersey with a dream of one day making magic in my life. I saw magic then and I see magic now as more than just my work."

"The announcement comes after Copperfield's name was again featured in the latest batch of documents released by the U.S. Justice Department in connection with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. In one email chain, Epstein claimed the famed illusionist got engaged to his former fiancee, supermodel Claudia Schiffer, on his private island of Little St. James in the Caribbean."
