David Copperfield Restaurant???

[feenie]

A couple of years ago I remember hearing that they were going to build a David Copperfield restaurant at the Disney Studios (MGM). I seem to remember that it was going to have Magic/Illusion theme to it.....
Does anyone else remember this?? Do you know what happened??
thanks!

Yes it was announced in 96 to open sometime in 98. Rumored Financial problems caused delays. Never heard anything more than it was shelved sometime ago. It would have been a neat concept. We had been to Caesars Magical Empire a number of times at Caesar's Palace and loved it. Park Place Entertainment sure didn't Thought an interactive restaurant like this would do well at Disney. Mr. Copper field just lost a court suit this week here seeking to recoup 500k. He had to pay Russian officials who were holding his equipment hostage during a Russian Tour a few years ago.
