More quotes by 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
Normally, I do magic on the stage. But I can make magic credible and resonate through a TV screen.

When I was a kid, people wanted to be an astronaut. Today, kids want to be famous, and that's totally the wrong approach. You have to have authenticity in what you're doing. You have to really care about the core message of what you're saying, and then everything else will fall into place.

There is a safe spot within every tornado. My job is to find it.
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
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
For me, I was watching Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Orson Welles, Victor Fleming movies, and I said, I want to tell stories like that. I want to move people like that. But I'm good at magic, so what am I going to do? So I started using magic for the right reasons - to get the girl.
