Talk:David Copperfield vs Harry Houdini/Rap Meanings/@comment-1652808-20150608224620/@comment-75.69.59.216-20150609150718

I am pretty sure that the primary meaning is making fun of Copperfield's shirts, which have billowy sleeves and resemble pirate shirts (such as the one Peter wears in this video)

One of the big differences between Houdini's classic magic and Copperfield's show business magic is the level of superficial effects, like the big electric fans ofstage that make Copperfield's shirts billow in the wind.
