More quotes by David Copperfield
[ Gil Cates] said, You've got a point of view with your magic. There's this comedy to it, there's drama. You're telling stories with magic.
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'm a horrible karaoke singer.
David Copperfield
As I did more of that, I realized, Well, maybe I should do more magic.
David Copperfield
You have to learn certain skills to present magic.
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
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
The key is for the audience never to know, so I have a plan B for every illusion.
David Copperfield
There was an old brochure for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts with a quote from Robert Redford or someone, that said, You're only as good as you dare to be bad.
David Copperfield
My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.
David Copperfield
What you think is impossible in life actually is possible.
David Copperfield
When people say you can't do it - that it's impossible - never lose hope. Just because they couldn't doesn't mean you can't.
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
Everyone was talking about having airplanes disappear. And I said, Wait, wait, wait. That's what you like? I'd tell you a story about something like my girlfriend leaving me, and the magic was really hard. The airplane thing was comparatively easy, and people liked that thing? I realized at that moment, the power of the simple idea.
David Copperfield
But when I go off stage I don't have a deck of cards with me all the time.
David Copperfield
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.
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.
David Copperfield
I was published in Tarbell Course in Magic when I was 12.
David Copperfield
If I was gay, why would I hide it?
David Copperfield
You can feel better about yourself in a very short period of time depending on the kind of magic that you are doing.
