David Copperfield
I was published in Tarbell Course in Magic when I was 12.
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

David Copperfield
For one of my specials, I said, I'm going to make an airplane disappear. Okay! And the next day, everything went crazy - it was like breaking the internet before the internet.
David Copperfield

David Copperfield
Ride on! Rough-shod if need be, smooth-shod if that will do, but ride on! Ride on over all obstacles, and win the race!
