Creepy Magician David Copperfield is Done

https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/cr...field-is-done/

Time's Up. His show bearly changes, he's been doing the same fucking show for over 30 years. He is 67 years old. He should just retire to some island where you can get away with fucking young...oh shit!

Whatever happened to Tradershky and Vintage One? Are they still around and do they ever still co-host? I always enjoyed calling in when they were on.

They are still around. tradershky pops on at the end of shows sometimes when he wakes up in the morning.

Vintage One is busy at his job and can only co-host when they have downtime.

Druff, Polk was drawing dead with that club but please cover how terribly he went about the whole thing. Wear a suit, admit there’s pros & cons, appeal to the freedom argument and don’t talk about how you turned $10 bucks into millions. Above all don’t tell us how “poker players” are great people. Just like anything else there are great people who play, ok people & shitty people. They layed it on way too thick. Just a terrible job imho.

It all came off so slimy and insincere. Also, you have to admit that the main purpose you want this is for your own business interest. You can say all those things while still making the overall point that this will bring economic development to the town. Look forward to seeing your point of view.

he already has his own island w/ mansion in the Exumas. I've seen it from boats before. It is incredible. These guys seemingly have it all and yet they still need to be awful humans. smh.

I meant to cover the Copperfield topic back in January when I discovered that his show was horrrrrrrrrribly reviewed. I wish I had. I would have been ahead of my time with the Copperfield hate, which now has become standard.

I did post about it on my Vegas Casino Talk site at the time.

Anyway, tonight I will cover both the weird sexual stuff and the apparently terrible show which was once good.

I was also surprised by what a sloppy mess Doug Polk was

Saw a video of him goofing off in the background of the camera when somebody else was talking

Maybe the guys been isolated in the poker world but I thought he had the common sense to be able to sit quietly and respectfully while the other people speak not act like he’s making a meme for his stream

Freeroll now 9:45. Show should start around 9:40.

[Dan Druff]

Well something I ate tonight didn't agree with me, so my stomach is fucked up. Sapping my energy and I can't get through this long show.

Took two breaks to use the bathroom but it's not getting any better.

I stopped before the Albini topic. I'll do the rest in a few days. I'll try to get up the part 1 archives tonight.
