More quotes by David Copperfield
The real secret of magic lies in the performance.
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
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
My uncle's house burned down when I was 6 years old. We got out safely. But ever since, I've had a nightmare of dying in a fire.

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
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
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
I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.
David Copperfield
I'm just waiting for people to start asking me to make the rain disappear.
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
I was an only child. We were so poor, my parents and I had the same room.
David Copperfield
The most important thing is presentation.
David Copperfield
I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create.
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
What you think is impossible in life actually is possible.
