David Copperfield reference


Maybe this was asked, but on Larry's first night on the job, "Rexy" disappears, and Larry says something like "Is this some kind of David Copperfield thing?"

What does he mean?



I believe in happy endings.

He means David Copperfield (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Copperfield_(illusionist)), the illusionist, who is known for making famous landmarks disappear.

I find it odd someone would not know who David Copperfield is. I must be old.

Could have. Myself, I'd heard of the magician before the book, making me later wonder if the magician took his stage name from the book.

(S)he also may not be American, I'm from Britain and I just asked a few of my mates if they knew who he was and only myself and one other guy (there are 6 of us here) knew him and me and the other guy are big Americana nerds :)
