More quotes by David Copperfield
Magic and new technology have always walked hand in hand - even back in the days of Robert Houdin.
David Copperfield
My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.
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
I'm inventing new principles. The audience has a point of view that no one can predict.
David Copperfield
For my father, being kind was natural... I have to really work at it. I love competing and winning, conquest - not words you usually associate with kindness.
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
Watching people react, watching people be inspired, be taken on a journey, forgetting their problems, looking ahead in their own lives to doing impossible things. That's kind of what drives me, gives me a sense of focus.

David Copperfield
Like in comedy, you know the names of the people who steal things that others work really hard on. It really sucks. And, in magic, it's not just the hard work of getting the words and attitude and point of view right you're taking an actual invention, making something over three or four years, and somebody can just take it.
David Copperfield
You have to learn certain skills to present magic.
David Copperfield
Magic was a thing that, when I did it, it made all the kids go, Ah, that's cool.
David Copperfield
All my TV shows are done live in front of audiences, and all the material I take on the road and travel with them test them for hundreds and hundreds of shows before I shoot them for TV.
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
I act like I'm 14, if you haven't figured that out yet.
David Copperfield
I'm a horrible karaoke singer.
David Copperfield
All of the [Bob] Fosse-esque movements and point of view informed years and years of what I would do.
David Copperfield
What you think is impossible in life actually is possible.
David Copperfield
I started as a ventriloquist, a very bad ventriloquist. And people saw my lips moving and it was ridiculous, so finally I decided I'd better change my occupation.
David Copperfield
All the lawyers and the business stuff is work, but actually creating stuff isn't work. It's good effort. It's hard work. But, it's not work. It doesn't feel like work because the result is very rewarding.
