More quotes by David Copperfield
I find revealing the secrets of magic quite reprehensible.
David Copperfield
All of the [Bob] Fosse-esque movements and point of view informed years and years of what I would do.
David Copperfield
Demonic figures and occult themes have disappeared from modern magic.
David Copperfield
Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.
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 father wanted to be an actor, dreamed about being an actor, but he gave it up because my mom and his family told him, You're never going to make it it's too tough out there.
David Copperfield
I discovered Musha Cay and the islands around it in the Exumas.
David Copperfield
I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create.
David Copperfield
My job is to make people dream. Of course, there's a lot of technical stuff behind the scenes and a lot of hard work behind it, but I get to watch people see the result of that hard work and feel that wonder and feel that discovery, all the time.
David Copperfield
Dreams are illusions, and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.
David Copperfield
As I did more of that, I realized, Well, maybe I should do more magic.
David Copperfield
I'm fascinated by the similarities and differences between comedians and magicians.
David Copperfield
When I started doing magic as a kid, my parents had no problem.
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
I'm inventing new principles. The audience has a point of view that no one can predict.
David Copperfield
Magic was a thing that, when I did it, it made all the kids go, Ah, that's cool.
David Copperfield
Reading [Judd Apatow] book, about his background, I think there's a great similarity. What gives him the fire to work hard? He worked hard, researching the comedians of the time, what touched him about it.
David Copperfield
I invented magic stuff it came very easily. Now, I sucked at everything else, but I was good at magic as a kid.
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
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.
