American magician David Copperfield will put on 28 shows in four Chinese cities from July 9 to August 4.

The US master magician, who performed last year in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, will give five more performances there this year, according to organizers.

He will also demonstrate his sleight of hand in Shenzhen, another city in Guangdong, as well as Shanghai and Beijing, said the organizers.
