More quotes by David Copperfield
I'm fascinated by the similarities and differences between comedians and magicians.
David Copperfield
Magic is used in espionage, all the time, for clandestine things. I've got a whole library from a gentleman who was hired by the CIA to create magic technology for the use of anti-terrorism.
David Copperfield
When I started doing magic as a kid, my parents had no problem.
David Copperfield
The audience likes to be taken on new journeys.
David Copperfield
From the very beginning, I studied acting, directing, lighting, dance and movement. I didn't rely on just the magic to take place. It's a shame that a lot of magicians just rely on the trick itself and they have no other abilities. They get away with the wonder factor, and I don't think that's enough. It's great, but it's not enough.
David Copperfield
It's okay for me to be gay, but God didn't make me that way.
David Copperfield
Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.
David Copperfield
There were really a bunch of old, old magic hobbyists at the time, some of them who actually had known [Harry] Houdini. You had to be 14 to go to these meetings, and he snuck me in at 12. It was glorious.
David Copperfield
Magic was a thing that, when I did it, it made all the kids go, Ah, that's cool.
David Copperfield
Magic has been something I've been really good at since I was really young. The ability has always come easy to me, I'm not sure why.
David Copperfield
Everything that you'd see on The Ed Sullivan Show was at the Tannen's Magic. You'd think that if you could afford a trick like Doc Nixon's Dove Vanish, then you could be on The Ed Sullivan Show as an 8-year-old kid.
David Copperfield
If I was gay, why would I hide it?
David Copperfield
Physical rehab is often very, very hard work.
David Copperfield
In movies, storytelling and every single art form, we're creating wonder. You're starting with a blank page and creating something that doesn't exist.
David Copperfield
I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.
David Copperfield
I'm just waiting for people to start asking me to make the rain disappear.
David Copperfield
It wasn't just about doing tricks. It's about taking an audience to another place, a special place, so they can really suspend their disbelief. Its about amazing the audience as well as moving them.
David Copperfield
I think the negative reinforcement really helped me in my very beginnings.
David Copperfield
As I did more of that, I realized, Well, maybe I should do more magic.
David Copperfield
Never take NO for an answer.
