Copperfield's Magic Underground
Lost MGM Studios restaurant.
It's a cruel, cruel world, all you little boys and girls. And some mean, nasty people want to have you for their supper!
I'm sorry, I had too! It fits on what I'm going to say and I blame xanderwrites for reminding me of this character in that movie.
And speaking of magic, lets talk about, the first of it's kind, a magic theme restaurant. And magic of David Copperfield.
Copperfield's Magic Underground was scheduled to open at the Disney/MGM Studios in the summer of 1998, but never even started construction.
The magic themed restaurant was not Copperfield's idea. Rather, venture capitalists Glenn Tullman and Robert Compton propositioned him and would have meetings with him into the early hours of the morning after the illusionist performed in various cities around the country. From these encounters, LateNite Magic was formed as their company name and once he agreed to let them use his name, license and serve as head creative consultant on the project, the company was formed and Copperfield's Magic Underground moved forward.
The first location was slated to open in New York City's Times Square. LateNite Magic leased a 30,000-square-foot location that would have contained enough seats for 430 diners and a 2,000-square-foot retail location which would have sold Copperfield merchandise branded to Copperfield Magic Underground.
