My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.
David Copperfield
What I've tried to do in my stage magic is to take a trick and give it an emotional hook.
David Copperfield
As I did more of that, I realized, Well, maybe I should do more magic.
David Copperfield
I see people's need to dream, people's need to escape - you see it! That's why people come to comedy shows, that's why they come to your movies ... We're so needed in this world. Not as much as medicine , but to dream for a while.
David Copperfield
You lose your sense of wonder the more you learn, right? When you go to film school and learn about moviemaking, you go to see movies and then only see where the lights are, where the cuts are, watching it from a technical basis, nodding your head, Oh, that was good. The feeling of surprise, the feeling of being transported is further away.
David Copperfield

The key is for the audience never to know, so I have a plan B for every illusion.
David Copperfield
I had a point of view, which was different. I looked at magic as theater, as storytelling, and I tried to have an approach that was different from what they were doing. How can I move people and really get them to dream with a card trick, with coin magic, or even a piece of stage magic?
David Copperfield
I think the negative reinforcement really helped me in my very beginnings.
