Magician Fooler?

I wouldn't plan on fooling him...
However, if you want to impress him, I would perform something really visual. (like Distortion)
Or do something original, you could definitely impress him with something that you created.
Just my 2 cents.

Do nacho mammas triumph. Do hand to mouth. You know, do a wild crazy flourish and do a quick double, tell him to push it in and put it in. If it works, Thank me.
If you know Ramjollock by Ben Earl, that's a great magician fooler. Chris Kenner has two items in his book that also seem to be designed to fool magicians... Then again, he probably knows those eh?
Why are we trying to fool him anyway? Surely it would be of greater knowledge to know that you entertained him as opposed to fooled him?

Yeah! I would do something that you made up! I bet he would like that! Exclamation!
If you are going to do something like that... Might I add a suggestion of making a quick signed dupe?
Half push the fake signed card in, show it briefly and carry on as normal or whatever. I think this fake signature principle is far too often overlooked in magic to be honest.

It would be hard to fool him haha.
I saw an interview with him where he said he never gets fooled by some magic, and if he would it would only be for a second.

At least make sure that whatever you do is something modern that maybe uses new sleights (or no sleights at all).
The newer it is, the less likely he is to have seen it (I assume).
Actually, maybe you should go ahead and use a gimmick and just treat it like something normal. For instance, a coin on a pulley or something. Produce it from his ear and then "hand" it to him while just letting it vanish (Just an example; he'll probably figure that one out).

A young magician with a good presentation; that would impress him. It might also be helful to have a list of effects you know, as just asking what effect you should perform is very "hit and miss". I could just start naming random effects that you may or may not have, and it wouldn't help you at all. So peform something you've been doing the longest, and are therefore good at performing. Don't worry about fooling him; worry about entertaining him.
Despite what I've said, I do agree with you.
But to be fair to the person, it's not all too often you get a chance to perform to someone such as David Copperfield. Y'know?
I still don't see what the deal is with fooling people...
Fooling someone does not immediately instigate entertainment.
