David Copperfield
What you think is impossible in life actually is possible.

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?

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
The real secret of magic lies in the performance.
David Copperfield

I have a bunch of islands in the Bahamas that we made into this amazing, magical place. And we have these birds they're trained to do certain things on the island, which is awesome. These toucans had a baby toucan, and the baby toucan, every hour that you'd look at this toucan, he would change.
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.
David Copperfield
I'm really happy that I had the foundations of knowing where I came from.
David Copperfield
It wasn't just about doing tricks. It's about taking an audience to another place, a special place, so they can really suspend their disbelief. Its about amazing the audience as well as moving them.
David Copperfield
I'm inventing new principles. The audience has a point of view that no one can predict.
