David Copperfield to leave MGM Grand. Here's more on his next 'act'.

David Copperfield will be taking his illusions elsewhere.

After 25 years of serving as MGM Grand's headlining act in Las Vegas, Copperfield's residency is ending, the luxury hotel confirmed in a March 5 statement obtained by USA TODAY.

Copperfield's name previously came up in a rolling batch of court documents that were unsealed as part of a lawsuit tied to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.  

The reasoning behind MGM's decision to cut Copperfield loose wasn't immediately clear. USA TODAY asked MGM for an explanation, but as of March 6, the venue has not responded.

"We thank David and his exceptional team for the incredible energy they’ve consistently delivered with this larger-than-life production," Mike Neubecker, president & COO of MGM Grand, said in a statement. "David has fascinated audiences at MGM Grand for more than 25 years, and we wish him every success as he embarks on the next chapter of his journey."

Copperfield's residency with MGM ends on April 30. He will perform 120 more shows over the next eight weeks.

The Epstein files have been released without context, and the allegations within have not been independently confirmed by USA TODAY. Many famous names have appeared in the documents, and being mentioned does not indicate someone has been implicated in wrongdoing. It could mean they had a social or professional connection with Epstein.

In a March 5 statement posted to social media, Copperfield thanked the "incredible" team at the MGM and his crew for "(making) the magic happen nightly - sharing wonder with over 7 million people from nearly every country on earth."

Here's what to know about the end of David Copperfield's residency at MGM Grand, including details about his last show.

David Copperfield grateful, but 'excited' for next chapter

The New Jersey native is still soaking it all in, writing that he wanted to "reflect on this moment and this milestone."

"My journey began as a kid in New Jersey with a dream of one day making magic my life," the 69-year-old said in his statement. "I saw magic then - and I see magic now - as more than just my work. Magic teaches us that often the things that others dismiss as impossible as not only possible but within our grasp."

The details surrounding Copperfield's next act weren't immediately clear; however, he said it will be the "largest and most challenging" he's ever tackled. He added that he was "excited" to talk about it when the time comes.

"Join us if you can, and most importantly, know that whatever you dream about, you can achieve," Copperfield concluded. "This kid from New Jersey certainly did, and I believe in magic now more than ever."
