Magician David Copperfield didn't just levitate a few folks at his Lyric Opera House show; he also helped raise more than $40,000 for the House With a Heart Foundation. More than 900 friends of the foundation bought tickets for a benefit performance, and a few were treated to a post-show meet-and-greet with the magic master.

Spotted among the sleight-of-hand fans were Lou Grasmick, Dr. Nancy Grasmick, Ruth Heltne, Natalie Chabot, Bob Miller, Alan Lloyd, Larry DeBaugh, John Paterakis, Marty Resnick, Bob Ward, Jim Joyce and Roy Kirby.
